Appearing on the Fox Business Channel, Scott Baio let out a long belly laugh when asked to respond to Meryl Streep‘s claim that Hollywood actors and actresses are vilified and persecuted.

“We have the best lives of anybody,” Baio said, once he stopped laughing. “We’re not vilified. It’s absurd.”

He went on to point out that Hollywood moonbats have been “crucifying President-elect [Donald] Trump for so long now,” characterizing Streep’s assertion as “insulting” and “not very intelligent.”

“I didn’t have a choice, I had to give [President Barack] Obama a chance eight years ago,” he said. “These people, these Hollywood liberals, won’t even give Trump a chance.”
