Patricia Heaton Urges Left to Try Civility After WHCD Scare Goes Viral
Patricia Heaton sparked a viral discussion after posting on X urging her 'friends on the left' to be more civil following gunfire at the 2026 White House Correspondents' Dinner; she said she wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won but didn’t wish harm, and urged a calmer, grateful approach. The post drew mixed reactions, with some critics pointing to past rhetoric on both sides, and references to a CBS headline about threats to Democrats circulated online.
