A video resurfaced this weekend of a standup set from the beloved late actor Robin Williams, in which he joked about Democratic nominee Joe Biden's mental awareness.

Allies of Biden's opponent, President Donald Trump, gleefully shared the video far and wide, attempting to bolster the Trump campaign's talking point that Biden's mental capacity has diminished.

Among those who shared the video was Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump.

It wasn't long before the daughter of Robin Williams—Zelda Williams—clapped back at Eric Trump's attempts to slam Biden.

Williams accused him of using her father to further the Trump political agenda.

Williams is correct that her father didn't hold back when making jokes about Donald Trump in his standup sets.

He did so in 2012.

And in 2011.

Williams often joked that Trump's hair was actually "The Donald"—a completely separate, sentient being pretending to be attached to the President. Williams also likened Trump's ownership of beauty pageants to pro-football player Michael Vick owning a chain of pet stores (Vick was convicted in relation to dog fighting in 2007).

People were happy to see Zelda Williams defend her dad's memory.






Meanwhile, others proceeded to roast Eric Trump.




Williams recently celebrated what would've been her dad's 69th birthday by donating to a number of LGBTQ charities.

Tim Walz Perfectly Explains Why Trump Running The Country 'Like A Business' Is A Bad Idea

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz criticized President Donald Trump during an interview with MSNBC host Jen Psaki, stressing just why the people who elected Trump to run the country "like a business" were completely misguided.

Walz particularly lamented the impacts of Trump's ongoing trade war with Canada and Mexico, noting that Trump has a history of scuttling deals and "a proven track record of being an absolute failure."

Say what you may about Ellen DeGeneres, but we can all agree that she's always tried to find the funny side in a situation, even if it's something that should be as mundane as mowing the lawn.

DeGeneres left the talk show scene in 2022 after allegations ran rampant about her running a toxic workplace, so when President Donald Trump was elected for a second term, it seemed the perfect time for the entertainer and her wife, Portia de Rossi, to look for greener pastures, namely in the U.K.
