The video in question showed Robin Williams joking about Joe Biden.

Robin Williams’ daughter Zelda has criticised Eric Trump for sharing a video of her father doing a stand-up routine about Joe Biden.

The video in question showed the late comedic actor insulting Biden, and it was recently shared widely by Donald Trump’s supporters, including his son Eric.

This resulted in Zelda Williams responding by saying: “While we’re ‘reminiscing’ (to further your political agenda), you should look up what he said about your Dad. I did. Promise you, it’s much more ‘savage’. Gentle reminder that the dead can’t vote, but the living can.”

Zelda is likely referencing a 2012 stand-up routine of Williams’, where he mocked Donald Trump for referring to his own daugther as “hot”, and also slagging his hair.

Williams herself is an actress, and has written and performed in a number of projects.

Recently, on what would have been her late father’s 69th birthday, she encouraged all of her Twitter followers to send $69.69 to any homeless shelter, saying: “Join me if you like, but regardless, know I am wishing you all at least one hearty, immature belly laugh on Dad today.”
