How many times can Scott Baio get told off?
First, he tried Tamron Hall and lost. Now? He tried to go toe-to-toe with the legendary comedian George Wallace and from the looks of it, it didn’t go so well. With Baio’s allegiance with Donald Trump, Wallace took to Twitter to share his disdain. Baio must have just checked his Twitter account because he responded today.
The outcome? The most respectable roast you’ve ever seen. Take a look.
, @MrGeorgeWallace So funny I forgot to laugh. #Fail

Once the Happy Days actor tried to deal a low blow, Wallace put him in his place with the strength of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
.@ScottBaio Hell, I remember when there were actually laws to keep black folks from voting. Oh wait, that was LAST WEEK.

The laws that Mr. Wallace spoke of? Yep, actual facts (take a look for yourself here).
People have to learn that whether you’re coming for our First Lady or #BlackLivesMatter, Black Twitter is not to be messed with. Thank you for the recent Twitter win on our behalf, Mr. Wallace. For that, I’ll buy your book.
