A "Modern Family" producer is slamming President Trump, accusing the commander in chief of responding quicker to a slight over TV ratings than to a deadly attack in Charlottesville, Va.

Danny Zuker, the executive producer of the hit ABC comedy, tweeted to his more than 300,000 followers on Twitter on Monday:

I once challenged @RealDonaldTrump's ratings & he tweeted me in 15 minutes. It took him 3 days to say the KKK is bad. Sorry, it's too late. — Danny Zuker (@DannyZuker) August 14, 2017

Zuker's tweet came after Trump made unannounced remarks Monday at the White House addressing the weekend's violence at a white nationalist rally.

"Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to what we hold dear as Americans," Trump said.

Trump had faced a growing firestorm of criticism from both sides of the aisle for his initial response to Saturday's violent events, saying "many sides" were responsible and failing to specifically name neo-Nazis and other white nationalist groups that had gathered to protest the removal of a Confederate statue.

Counterprotester Heather Heyer was killed, and 19 people were injured when a 20-year-old Ohio man with ties to white supremacist groups allegedly plowed his car into a crowd gathered for a counterprotest of the white supremacist rally.

Zuker was a fierce Trump critic long before the New York real estate mogul entered the political world.

In 2013, Zuker and Trump — then the star of "The Celebrity Apprentice " — engaged in a war of words on Twitter after the Emmy Award winner and writer mocked the ratings of the NBC reality show.

I never heard of @DannyZucker until his very dumb and endless tweets started pouring out of insecure mind-but I have a great deal for him! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 24, 2013

.@realDonaldTrump @dannyzucker It's @DannyZuker. It's not as easy to remember because I don't tackily plaster it all over buildings — Danny Zuker (@DannyZuker) May 24, 2013

Remember, @dannyzuker , you are not even the real "boss" of Modern Family - no big $$$$$$'s for you! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 24, 2013

"He is so easily baited into showing who he really is," Zuker said of Trump after last year's presidential election. "It feels like, if you can, it’s almost patriotic to do it."
