Actress Patricia Heaton unloaded on media for fomenting fear and anxiety ahead of the 2024 presidential election and especially for targeting the most vulnerable people, many of them women, and convincing them that their lives were in literal danger when President-elect Donald Trump was declared the winner.
Heaton shared her thoughts in a video posted to X on Saturday, and in addition to calling out the media, she suggested that those who had been part of spreading the fear should “get back on the air” and tell people that the world was not really going to end.

Heaton began by noting that she’d just returned after spending a week in Israel — and that she would have much more to say about that at a later date — and she believed Trump’s election would be good for the Jewish people.
She then turned her thoughts to the wild responses she’d seen on social media after Vice President Kamala Harris lost her bid for the presidency, and she largely blamed media for convincing so many that a Trump victory would translate to physical danger for them and their families.

“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,” Heaton said.
“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!” Heaton continued. “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.”
She went on to say that, while in Israel, she’d visited the sites where Hamas terrorists had assaulted, raped, tortured, and killed Israeli men, women, and children. “You’re fine here, you’re gonna be fine. Don’t worry about it.”
Heaton pivoted to address media’s role in the way things had played out, blaming pundits and talking heads for effectively targeting certain segments of the population with their doomsday rhetoric regarding Trump.
“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 said. “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.”
“And also, stop — stop saying that people who voted differently than you are quote-unquote ‘uneducated.’ 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.”
