Trump Invites Scott Baio to Speak at RNC, After He Referred to Hillary Clinton as a C*nt
Tim Tebow, Bobby Knight, Tom Brady — they all backed away slowly when Donald Trump asked them to speak at the Republican convention this week. So Trump reached out personally to invite someone with real star power: the one and only Scott Baio!
You may remember Baio as “Chachi” on the TV sitcom “Joanie Loves Chachi.” You may, but I don’t because I never watched that show, not even once. But he’s bringing that Hollywood magic to the convention, that’s for sure!
I suspect it was tweets like this one that convinced Donald Trump to personally invite Scott Baio, because he’s clearly on the same level as Trump as far as class and taste go.

Right wing humor at its finest. (Really, this is its finest.)
So the Republican Party’s convention to formally nominate their candidate for president of the United States will feature a speaker who calls the Democratic Party’s nominee the C word. Publicly. This is where the GOP stands in 2016.
And by the way, here’s a list of some of the other speakers at this star-studded event.

Since that ugly tweet came to light, Baio has been trying to weasel out of responsibility for it with laughable excuses like this:

And by the way — that image he tweeted is actually a poorly done Photoshop:
