‘To all these extremists who are allowed to appear on television, who told women that this is what is going to happen to them, what a shame! What a shame!’ said in the video that had been viewed more than 842,000 times as of Tuesday.
‘Apparently there are some really vulnerable people here that you targeted and created fear… and you need to get back on the air and tell them that things are going to be okay, tell them that they’re okay.
“And also stop saying that people who voted differently than you are, quote, uneducated.”
Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton criticized anti-Trump ‘extremists’ for ‘fear-mongering’ and denigrating voters who supported the president-elect in a video posted on X.
He pleaded with the media to “learn the damn lesson of smearing people who feel different from you, who have different needs than you, who have legitimate grievances.”
‘Stop dismissing them as uneducated. When are you going to learn?
Heaton then condemned women who have posted videos sharing their fears about a possible loss of reproductive rights, while some vow to cut off sex with men in protest of Trump’s victory.
“I’ve also seen a lot of response videos, especially of women crying, screaming, shaving their heads, saying they’re going to be imprisoned, cornered, killed, hunted or whatever,” she said.
‘We need to pray for them and I just want to say to all of you who feel this 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 the institutions of men, not in human institutions.’
Heaton also noted that he had recently visited the Israeli kibbutzim where women and babies were taken during the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.
“You’re okay here, you’re going to be okay, don’t worry,” she told all the women who followed her on the social media app.
Heaton played the role of Debra Barone in 210 episodes of Everybody Loves Raymond.
She assured her followers that they will “be fine” as women post videos sharing their fears about a possible loss of reproductive rights under President-elect Trump.
Heaton has been vocal about her beliefs in recent years and came under fire in 2016 for sharing her anti-abortion views on social media.
The Emmy Award-winning actress wrote: ‘Choose, Celebrate, Support Life! Thank you North West Centre!’ in support of a Washington-based pregnancy resource center and maternity home.
Some social media users were quick to criticize the actress for her beliefs.
Earlier this year, he also came to the defense of Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker in the wake of a controversial commencement speech he gave earlier this month.
“I don’t understand why everyone’s panties are in a twist,” Heaton said in the online clip. “He gave a keynote speech, the audience applauded twice during the speech and gave him a standing ovation at the end.”
The Cleveland native, who appeared in the clip wearing a baseball cap and zip-up sweater in front of an exercise machine, noted that the audience initially “enjoyed what he was saying.”
Heaton said Butker was perfectly appropriate in “adhering his own views and Catholic doctrine” into public discourse.
‘So what? It’s his opinion: he can have one,” Heaton said. ‘He’s not a monster for saying what he believes.
“He went after bishops a lot more than he went after women, or what women’s options are, or what he thinks they should be, so I don’t understand it.”
