Scott Baio, a Trump-supporting actor, threatened to move to Utah and run against Mitt Romney in an effort to âunseatâ the Republican senator.
Baio, best known for his role as Chachi, cousin of âThe Fonzâ in the late-70s to early-80s sitcom Happy Days, took issue with Romneyâs latest criticism of the President.
âHey [Mitt], beautiful golf courses in Utah ⦠maybe Iâll move there, play a few rounds and unseat you,â Baio tweeted.
The actor also alleged that Romneyâs campaign kept a $2,600 contribution from his wife for a fundraiser in Beverly Hills that was canceled.
âMy wife is still waiting for her $2,600 refund,â he claimed. âRemember your wife canceled that Beverly Hills political luncheon fundraiser? But your campaign kept the money.â

âHaving failed to make even a plausible case of widespread fraud or conspiracy before any court of law, the President has now resorted to overt pressure on state and local officials to subvert the will of the people and overturn the election,â Romney said.
âIt is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action by a sitting American President.â
Itâs actually pretty easy to remember since Trumpâs predecessor, Barack Obama, was known for his undemocratic efforts to stifle the media and drone Americans without justification, to name a couple.
Then, of course, there were the undemocratic attempts to subvert the will of the people in 2016 by creating a false Russia collusion narrative and spying on Trumpâs transition team.
Perhaps Mitt forgot all of that.

Baioâs Past Support of Romney
Like many Republicans, Baio has seen a once-promising politician in Romney fade into a wishy-washy, flip-flopping caricature of himself since Trump took office.
The actor once endorsed Romney and donated $12,500 to the Republican National Committee in 2012, according to Politico.
But in 2016, he, like many conservatives, had seen enough of Republicans In Name Only (RINOs) like Romney and stood firmly behind the President.
âI want him, as any one person can do, is to go into Washington and blow it up,â Baio said. âIâm fed up, Iâm done with them, Iâm done with the Republicans, theyâd lied and conned and BSed me for a very long time now.â
@ScottBaio Hey! You go to Utah, Iâll head to Arizona. We can snag two blue seats and make them red. https://t.co/0SGyr7xVds
