In a powerful video posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, November 9, actress Patricia Heaton sounded off on the corporate media for how it acted during the 2024 election, arguing that it targeted the most vulnerable people for fomenting fear and anxiety ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Particularly, Heaton argued that it was irresponsible for the media to have convinced vulnerable populations and terrified women that their lives were actually in danger due to now-President-elect Donald Trump being declared the winner of the election, saying that the media should have to “get back on the air” and tell their terrified viewers that the world isn’t really going to end.
Commenting on the results of all the fear-mongering a bit into the video, Heaton noted, “I’ve also seen a lot of the response videos — especially from women who are crying, screaming, shaving their heads, saying they’re going to be jailed or rounded up or killed or hunted or whatever — ugh.”
Continuing, she explained that religion is needed by these people, saying, “We need to pray for them. And I just want to say to all you folks who feel that way, don’t make politics or identity groups your religion! Only Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Put your faith in Him, not in men, not in man’s institutions, not in human institutions.”
A bit later, she got to shaming the media personalities responsible for such horrible fear-mongering and the results to which it has led, saying, “To all these extremists that are allowed television time who told women that this is what is going to happen to them, shame on you! Shame on you!”
She added, noting that the media had targeted vulnerable people for its fear-mongering and so should have to correct that by explaining what’s actually going on, “Apparently, there are some really vulnerable people here who you targeted, and you fear-mongered to, and you need to go back on the air and tell them things are gonna be okay, tell them that they’re fine.”
Building on her general point by referencing the horrific line about “uneducated white women” from ABC co-host Sunny Hostin on her “The View” program, the fiery actress snapped, “And also, stop — stop saying that people who voted differently than you are quote-unquote ‘uneducated.’”

She added, on that same point, “Learn your f-ing lesson about smearing people who feel differently from you, who have different needs from you, and who have legitimate complaints. Quit dismissing them as ‘uneducated.’ When are you going to learn?” she concluded with a heavy sigh: “All right, have a great weekend.”
Commenting on Heaton’s video, one person asked, “While DonaldTrump was president, this nation enjoyed prosperity at home and peace abroad. So why are people sobbing uncontrollably in front of a camera? Are they afraid this nation will return to prosperity at home and peace abroad?”
Another added, “It’s so nice to see a sane women with a message, not the crazies I’ve seen the last few days. I am praying for them. The far left has brainwashed so many with their fear mongering that it’s sad to watch . I pray that they come to their senses and remember that none of the stuff they are raging about happened during Trump’s first four years. I truly don’t understand why they think this time will be different.”
