From Wikipedia:
Baio has voiced that his politics are conservative. He is a registered Republican.[12] He was one of the guests in attendance during U.S. President Ronald Reagan's state funeral. The New York Daily News published Michelle Caruso's article "A Goodbye As the Sun Sets in the West" (June 12, 2004) which mentioned Baio, who had been seated near former U.K. Prime Minister Lady Thatcher. In the article, he was quoted saying "President Reagan made me feel proud to be an American. Today, I feel sadness."[citation needed]
In April 2010, Baio was involved in a controversy surrounding his Twitter postings. His posting, “Taxes are DONE...That should feed, house & provide medical for a few lazy non working people at my expense. Have a great Monday!" was picked up by the blog Jezebel, and the heated web-based discussion between Baio, his wife, the Jezebel.com authors, Jezebel readers and Baio fans was covered by major news organizations.[13][14][15]
On July 1, 2010, he hosted The Dennis Miller Show and gave his views on current events, such as the BP oil spill. In May 2011, Baio was honored as a featured guest speaker during the Hollywood Congress of Republicans monthly meetup, saying, "I was never afraid to speak my mind. But I do remember times on a set where I'd hear my 'Liberal' friends talking and I didn't speak out. I stepped back and did not comment because there is a stigma (within the industry) that if you talk (as a conservative and/or Republican), you don't work."[citation needed]
This followed a January 2010 Twitter posting, for which Baio received significant negative public reaction, for posting an unflattering photo and comment about U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama.[16]
