MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall was not putting up with any excuses from actor Scott Baio, a Donald Trump supporter, when she confronted him about sharing a controversial meme showing Hillary Clinton in front of what appears to be "the C-word." Over the course of four minutes, 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."
