Robin Williams' daughter Zelda blasts Eric Trump for Biden roast video: 'Look up what he said about your dad'

Eric Trump shared a clip of the actor poking fun at the former vice president's 'rambling' speech

Robin Williams' daughter Zelda has spoken out after a video of the late actor mocking presidential candidate Joe Biden went viral over the weekend. Eric Trump, 36, the second son of President Donald Trump, shared a clip of the legendary entertainer poking fun at the former vice president's "rambling" speech. The video was titled, "Robin Williams Just Savages Joe Biden".

While the footage went viral, Zelda Williams, the 31-year-old daughter of the late actor, condemned Eric Trump for using the clip. "While we’re ‘reminiscing’ (to further your political agenda), you should look up what he said about your dad," she tweeted, referring to a clip where Williams allegedly jabbed Trump. "I did. Promise you, it’s much more ‘savage'."

"Gentle reminder that the dead can’t vote, but the living can ♥️," she added.

Here is what Robin Williams told about Trump.

The old video, from Williams' HBO special "Weapons of Self Destruction", saw him make jokes about the then-vice president's infamous gaffes at public events. It surfaced just days before the presumptive Democratic nominee landed in hot water over his remarks about African-American and Latino diversity. According to ABC News, Biden was asked to opine about normalizing relations with Cuba and he went on to explain his view about the difference of opinion between two communities. As per the report, Biden said, “And by the way, what you all know but most people don't know, unlike the African American community with notable exceptions, the Latino community is an incredibly diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things. You go to Florida you find a very different attitude about immigration in certain places than you do when you're in Arizona. So it's a very different, a very diverse community.” This statement was made to a panel of journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists-National Association of Hispanic Journalists 2020 virtual convention.

In the video, Williams says: "We still have comedy though, we still have great comedy out there. There's always rambling Joe Biden. What the f**k. Joe says s**t that even people with Tourette's go, 'No, no. What is going on?'"

"Joe is like your uncle who is on a new drug and hasn't got the dosage right," he quipped.

Social media users erupted in laughter over the clip, which went viral, and claimed Williams would have a lot more material to work with if he were still alive today.

"I'm telling you all right now, you may love the packaging, but the present inside is the same guy Robin Williams skewered, as I was reminded today. He's still cranky, hostile to questioning, anti-progressive, jail-filling, law-hardening, not Trump," one tweeted.

That said, Zelda's tweet came just weeks after she shared a tribute to her late father on his 69th birthday.

"Today would've been Dad's 69th birthday, so to honor him (& that glorious number), I will be donating $69.69 to as many local homeless shelters as I can," she wrote. "Join me if you like, but regardless, know I am wishing you all at least one hearty, immature belly laugh on Dad today ♥️."

Zak Williams, the late comedian's 37-year-old son, recently revealed to Today how he is slowly introducing his father's timeless legacy to McLaurin Clement Williams, his one-year-old son.

"I have slowly started showing photos and pictures to my son, things from movies and in animation that my dad was in," he explained. "... We have photos and memories around our home and he's drawn to them. And so when he sees the Genie from 'Aladdin' or when he sees a photo of his grandfather, he's drawn to it. And so we talk about it ... It's a nice way to carry on my dad's legacy related to our family history."
