RNC Speaker Scott Baio Tweeted Meme Referring To Hillary Clinton As A C**t

Eighties sitcom star Scott Baio, who is scheduled to address the Republican National Convention on Monday, shares the party nominee’s penchant for off-color tweets.

Last week, Baio shared a meme that shows Democrat Hillary Clinton speaking in front of a banner reading “Country.” Clinton stands at a podium such that her body covers up the "O" on that banner, leaving the letters that spell out "cunt." The text below the photo says “what difference does it make?”

According to Baio, who tweeted the image to Donald Trump, this is “the best meme out there.”

This distaste for Clinton seems to be at the core of the conservative actor’s approval for Trump, whom he has also praised for his stance on combating the threat of the Islamic State and his “simple” manner of speaking. When Baio endorsed Trump back in March, the actor predicted he would be able to “relentlessly, relentlessly attack Hillary.”

I wonder why they took it at her speech. I would have deleted and definitely not posted it.

the unfortunate word is not so obvious when the "RY" from "COUNTRY" is visible.

I think this says more about the maturity and intellect of Scott Baio than it says anything about Hillary Clinton.

of thing, and Baio is stupid and indulgent of his worst character flaws (one hopes!) for not realizing this would repel many conservative voters who saw it. Those who like it would never vote for a liberal anyway.

Adding a Chachi insult to Baio’s new reputation, the image isn’t originally of Clinton, either. As another Twitter participant noted, the original photo is of Australian radio broadcaster Alan Jones. The picture was apparently photoshopped to add Clinton’s image in place of Jones’.

Willie Robertson, star of Duck Dynasty

Rick Perry, former governor and presidential candidate (R-TX)

Marcus Luttrell, a retired Navy SEAL and Afghanistan/Iraq veteran who was portrayed by Mark Wahlberg in the film Lone Survivor

Scott Baio, an actor known for his roles as Chachi on Happy Days and Joanie Loves Chachi, and Bob Loblaw on Arrested Development

Mark Geist and John Tiegen, former members of the Benghazi Annex Security Team during the Benghazi attacks
