"Happy Days" alum Scott Baio spoke out in opposition to the beloved sitcom's cast reunion, which is set to help financially support Democrats running for office.

Baio, known for his iconic role as Chachi, appeared on Fox Business' "Mornings with Maria" on Wednesday where he ripped the upcoming fundraiser and criticized "Full House" star John Stamos while he was at it.

Henry Winkler (Fonzie), Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham), Don Most (Ralph Malph), Anson Williams (Potsie Weber), Marion Ross (Marion Cunningham), and writer Lowell Ganzbrb are all set to appear during the virtual fundraiser on Sunday, Oct. 25, at 6 p.m.

Speaking to Maria Bartiromo, Baio called the reunion "a little bizarre" because its plan is to "promote" Democratic nominees Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris, he said.

"I'm not on board, obviously, because I don't believe in socialism and Marxists," Baio, a vocal Trump supporter, told the host.

He also bashed Stamos, who offered to fill in for Baio's character of Chachi for the upcoming cast reunion.

"I think Stamos always wanted to be Chachi instead of playing second fiddle to a 3-year-old," Baio said, slamming Stamos' popular role as Uncle Jesse on "Full House" and "Fuller House."

He added: "It's good to know that Stamos is part of the Hollywood elite Marxist crap."

The most important election of our lifetimes is right around the corner and Wisconsin is a must-win swing state. So, I’m thrilled to announce a #HappyDaysReunion to support @WisDems on Oct 25. Chip in any amount to attend - https://t.co/otVhvvojQZ— Ron Howard (@RealRonHoward) October 19, 2020

Can I play Chachi? https://t.co/qAa8fIzg4Z— John Stamos (@JohnStamos) October 20, 2020

What a shame to use a classic show like Happy Days about Americana to promote an anti-American socialist. #Shameful https://t.co/v1uB2vK5sj— Scott Baio (@ScottBaio) October 20, 2020

Chachi is more American than Opie....not even close.

Guess the Happy Days gang (with exceptions) didn’t like Ike.

[OttawaFreeper]

It was much better back in the first one to two seasons (remember the really good old days when Richie had his older brother, Chuck?).

Bravo, Scott/Chachi!!

Wish I had remembered how Baio bravely spoke out in support Of PDJT/MAGA!!

Gotta love that dig on Stamos.

Happy Days was ALWAYS liberal.

I remember an episode where Richie was working on the Adlai Stevenson campaign and was devastated when Ike won.

As a kid, I watched the show a lot in reruns in the late ‘70s & early ‘80s. The memory-holing of Chuck kinda disturbed me at the time. How does a family member just disappear without any of the others ever noticing or apparently missing him?

[irishjuggler]

I remember that episode. First time I’d ever heard of Adlai. I recall that the Fonz backed Ike.

i will second that...

go chachi, or go home

“Happy Days was ALWAYS liberal.”

Ralph and Potsie were only there for the girls they heard they were easy (sluts).

It’s amazing what a piece of crap Opie turned out to be.

[George from New England]

Who played the father appears to be dead now, not mentioned. But of course he will vote (D) from his grave.
Its a shame they didn’t include him in the story.

Ralph and Potsie

C'mon....you know that Ralph and Potsie were the Bert and Ernie of that show

[Karma_Sherab]

Its a shame they didn’t include him in the story.

Didn't want to bring attention to his vote this year

Biden is wishing that about Hunter about now.

I don't think Ben Franklin would approve.
