Tamron Hall interviewed Scott Baio this morning

[PatSeg]

She was amazing! Evidently prior to the interview Baio had blocked Hall from his Twitter account and didn't know how that had happened.

This was about the controversial Hillary meme.

Hall repeatedly skewered Baio for sharing the meme, demanding to know, "Did you think about that in church, when you tweeted it out?"

Baio, who is best known for his role as Chachi on Happy Days, attempted to backtrack. "I offered it without commentary, that was just put up," he said. "I just put it up there."

"Yeah, but you know what it meant when you tweeted it out," Hall said. She then pivoted to another tweet that showed an unflattering picture of Michelle Obama with the text "Wow. [Obama] wakes up to this every morning."

"That tweet was a joke. Tamron, I'm a guy from Brooklyn. I have a certain sense of humor. I sit with my buddies and we smoke cigars. I joke about— "

1. And Hall revealed that Chachi had blocked her on Twitter,

and wanted to know why. He denied doing it.

[PatSeg]

4. She even showed a screen capture

of being blocked. Why on earth did he agree to that interview?

2. Naturally this kind of shit would come from that jerk

Who gratefully hasn't been heard of in 30 years.

3. Baio is scum n/t

9. I laughed when he started down the ...

"and the fact that you would question my faith" path just shows that, if there is a God, baio's in for a yuugggeeee disappointment ... because I don't think the Book says what he thinks it says.

14. Forget about faith

He tweeted out that picture of Hillary knowing what it meant, and when called upon it, he can't own up to it. I question his manhood.

15. I question his Humanity.

5. Here's the video

She's a real pro.

6. And, I'm pretty sure, baio ...

left the set, and immediately mumbled something about Tamaron being a Black C-word that he would like to wake up next to ... as if he ever could.

[PatSeg]

8. He promised to "unblock" Hall

Yeah, right.

[hamsterjill]

7. I'm a good ole boy.

I sit with my buddies and we smoke cigars and say demeaning things about women. Come on, what do you want from me? It makes me feel all manly, etc.

(Sarcasm, of course).

Tamron Hall hammered him, and I hope Mr. Baio goes BACK to church and THINKS about his moral compass. His attacks on both Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama were slimy and unnecessary.

[PatSeg]

10. He just didn't know when to quit

He just kept on digging.

11. Saw it. Loved it. FWIW, Tamron was a friend o' Prince.

[leftynyc]

12. I'm from Brooklyn also

So were my parents. None of us make fun of another person's looks.

[VOX]

13. "I have a certain sense of humor."

Meaning, I'm automatically absolved from any of the racist, separatist shit that pours out of my mouth.

What a mega-dipshit.

[Blue Idaho]

16. He has a certain set of beliefs...

That are manifest in what he thinks is funny. Sexism, racism, ageism, and belief in a supreme being that does not hold him accountable for any of his words or actions.

He's a a child star that never grew up.

[PatSeg]

18. Appears so

Obviously he knows nothing about politics, history, foreign affairs, or the economy. Maybe he is still living in the "Happy Days" bubble, you know when people were real Americans.

[Blue Idaho]

20. I had the chance to meet a used-up spit out child star.

It's not a pretty picture...

[PatSeg]

21. I can imagine

Many don't survive it well at all and it can be seen as a form of child abuse. Fortunately Ron Howard's experiences were very positive and his TV family was a real family to him. Others, however, are treated as a commodity.

[GoCubsGo]

19. Yup. It's just another version of their standard "You have no sense of humor"

excuse that they make when people react negatively to their racist and misogynistic jokes. The same with his whining about Ms. Hall's alleged questioning of his faith. They try to turn it back on the one who is calling them out for being hypocrites or for being hateful, rather than owning up to it. Mega-dipshit, indeed. I can't wait until some GOP holy-roller goes after for writing his speech while he was in church, instead of worshiping the god in whom he supposedly has faith. Except we all know none of them will. IOIYAAR.

17. A certain sense of humor, eh?

And just what type would that be - puerile, sophomoric and misogynistic?
