Ron Howard, Henry Winkler, Don Most, Anson Williams and Marion Ross are reportedly set to reunite to raise money for the Wisconsin Democratic Party.

"To take a show like 'Happy Days' that represented traditional American values, good morals, a slice of Americana and to use that show and those ideals to promote two people in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris that condone, encourage and foment rioting and looting is a little bizarre to me," he said.

Earlier, Baio had tweeted about a report that "Full House" star John Stamos had offered to sub for him during the reunion and Baio expounded on that during his interview. "I think Stamos always wanted to be Chachi instead of playing second fiddle to a 3-year-old," Baio said, referencing Stamos playing Uncle Jesse opposite child stars Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen on "Full House."

"I'm not on board, obviously, because I don't believe in socialism and Marxists," he said. "And it's good to know that Stamos is part of the Hollywood elite Marxist crowd."

Love the great fake store names in The Good Place. One is Joanie Loves Tchotchkes.

So write him out. Say he caught COVID at a Trump rally or something. We won't miss him.

Scott Baio has used his celebrity to endorse political candidates also so I guess he only thinks its right on his side of the fence. Is that democracy?

It seems like he's just offering his opinion. People on the left are upset about it....apparently that's news.

Who other than Scott Baio is upset? I know lots of handwringing lefties and everybody I’m aware of thinks he’s a joke.

What's he upset about? He was asked to do something....he doesn't want to....he explained why.

These people obviously....he has a different opinion from them so they're trying to make news of it. It's odd. It's as if holding a different opinion makes him subject to ridicule. It's not really news. Clearly if they really don't care what he thinks, they wouldn't be reporting it.

They've been doing the same thing to Chris Pratt for not attending some Avengers fundraiser for Biden....which he wasn't even asked to attend. It's a bizarre cult-like behavior.

As best as I can tell, Scott Baio is the one who started this little snipe fest. Stamos only commented in response.

And yes, Baio was upset. He made his comments in an interview to Maria Bartiromo who was very sympathetic, and he was on the verge of having a stroke the entire time.

Voicing ones opinion for or against a political platform falls within the concept of ‘Freedom of speech’ but derogatory personal comments about those that support an opposing political platform shows a lack of ethics.

Aren't we supposed to be upset with hollywood stars (I guess we could call Baio that?) spouting off on politics?
Hey Scott, go back to acting....or lounging by the pool at this point?

That's fair....I missed the derogatory comments though. What were they?

It's just tribalism, which shows lack of intelligence more than anything.

I also think its simply not credible to say Biden is a "marxist". That shows a lack of reality testing and presence of delusional thinking.

Except, according to various Republicans I've listened to (including many here), Biden is a puppet for the left wing and is just a figurehead to win the election. Sometime after winning the election, maybe right after being sworn in, he's allegedly going to resign and turn thing over to VP Harris, who then will nominate a far left VP.

It doesn't appear to matter to Republicans that no major Democratic candidate (and AOC is not a major candidate, despite how the Right wants her to be one and reports as if she is) has promoted a socialist agenda; at "worst" they want the social protections provided by capitalist countries in Europe.

How did you get so sensible?

The Hollywood Elites and their backers have hated America ever since Ron Howard had the Academy rescind Scott Baio’s Oscar Award for Bugsy Malone.
