During an interview with [CBS News](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/stephen-baldwin-my-brother-alec-as-donald-trump-on-saturday-night-live-isnt-very-funny/) following Wednesday’s final presidential debate, Stephen Baldwin criticized his older brother’s impersonation of the GOP nominee. “He’s got the voice down very well,” he admitted, before adding, “I think it’s getting a little too nasty right now.” Stephen — who told [_The Hollywood Reporter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/stephen-baldwin-backs-donald-trump-912349) that he was backing Trump — then elaborated on his position, explaining that he doesn’t think the process should be made light of. “I don’t want to be a party pooper here, but I don’t think it’s very funny,” he said. “I don’t think there’s anything funny about this election. I think it’s very serious, very important. Young people, millennials, undecided voters, everybody’s got twenty days now to really start to do their homework and figure out who they think is going to lead this country in the direction it needs to be.” Watch the full clip below.
