        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Wanda Sykes</strong> skewered <strong>Scott Baio</strong> after the “Charles in Charge” star came after her for defending Joe Biden in light of his controversial <strong>“you ain’t black” remarks.</strong></p><p>Baio, <strong>a vocal President Trump supporter</strong>, blasted the comedian <a href="https://twitter.com/ScottBaio/status/1264006251186249729" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">on Twitter last Friday.</a></p><p>“Hey @iamwandasykes why is it okay for @JoeBiden to say something clearly racist but @therealroseanne gets kicked off of her own show that YOU are a writer on, for making a mistake?” Baio tweeted. “Is it because you’re a full of s–t, hack liberal?”</p><p>He was responding to a tweet Sykes sent the same day defending Biden, who <strong>said that </strong> anyone who would vote for President Trump “ain’t black.”</p><p>“Biden feels at home speaking to the Black community. He made a joke. Comedy ain’t easy, but he didn’t say 2 go shoot Clorox in our tits,” <a href="https://twitter.com/iamwandasykes/status/1263934842401669122" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Sykes wrote.</a></p><p>“Now, I wouldn’t make a blanket statement to say that voting for Trump means you’re not Black. I would say that it means you’re not smart.”</p><p>Sykes, who worked as a consulting producer on the reboot of “Roseanne,” issued her <a href="https://twitter.com/iamwandasykes/status/1265710397262266368">pithy response</a> to Baio on Wednesday.</p><p>“Oh! Hey Chachi. Apologies, I didn’t see you. I’ll keep it short. Joe Biden didn’t say, ‘Then you ain’t an ape,&#8217;” she wrote. “Well, let me get back to work…I hope you enjoy whatever it is that you do.”</p><div class="inline-slideshow"><div id="slideshow-5269240-1" class="slideshow-container "><div class="slides-wrapper"><div class="slide"><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/sykes-baio-62.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/05/sykes-baio-62.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/sykes-baio-62.jpg" /></p><div class="slide-caption-wrapper"><div class="slide-caption">Scott Baio</p><p class="credit">Getty Images</p></div></div></div><div class="slide"><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/sykes-baio-64.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/05/sykes-baio-64.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/sykes-baio-64.jpg" /></p><div class="slide-caption-wrapper"><div class="slide-caption">Joe Biden</p><p class="credit">AFP via Getty Images</p></div></div></div></div><header class="slideshow-header"><div class="slideshow-header-inner"></div></header></div></div><p>Baio was referring to Roseanne Barr, who <strong>was booted off her own show</strong> after going on <strong>a racist tear on Twitter</strong> in 2018, in which she compared former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape.</p><p>Sykes <a href="https://twitter.com/iamwandasykes/status/1001494592649342979" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">quit the show</a> the same day Barr’s tweets went viral.</p><p>Biden later <strong>apologized for his remarks</strong>, saying he “should not have been so cavalier.”</p>]]></content:encoded>
