The Oscars have lost tens of millions of viewers. Between highly politicized acceptance speeches, and the obvious disdain a lot of Hollywood has for the average American, it's not a surprise.
We long for the days when the most they did was wear a red ribbon on their tuxedo or dress for HIV/AIDS awareness.
So when actor Mark Ruffalo showed off his ribbon and heart symbol, Patricia Heaton taught him a lesson in what they really mean:
Hi Mark. The heart symbol you are using here seems nice, but the cause supports the killing of 27 million females globally a year. Your red lapel pin celebrates the lynching and disembowelment of two Israeli soldiers by a Palestinian mob. Why do you support so much violence? https://t.co/jCYXQImNBz

Apparently, some violence is okay.
Not a single one of them was curious enough to verify what they were told these symbols represent.

Disingenuous and irresponsible.
This gives them the benefit of the doubt.
They knew. And they're okay with that.
I'll be surprised if he responds to you.

We wouldn't hold our breath.
Drag him, Queen!!!

Amen.
Because it's stylish, Patricia, It's stylish.

Thank you for your support.

These people are despicable. https://t.co/C3v0ZYlFZl
Very much so.
@MarkRuffalo please do the research about the origin of the symbols you embrace. I can’t imagine you would willingly participate with that symbol if you truly knew the origin.

Oh, but he would.
I told you, not all actors are like that.

I love @PatriciaHeaton . 🙏 https://t.co/u2UPBVWHIv
There are still bright spots in Hollywood.
Mark is a communist tool. He hates America even though he profits from capitalism. Pretty much all of the current flock of hollywood people are the same. https://t.co/fRzFS8DRQF

Harsh, but fair.
waiting for his response. i hope it isn't just name calling https://t.co/HTeF994uC3

Name calling is a safe bet.
I am so saddened by his lack of empathy and compassion for the victims of the Hamas terrorist attack and the horrific actions that the Palestinian government supports. Very sad https://t.co/h45cBaxB99

It's appalling.
Patricia Heaton is truly a badass. Being smart enough to form your own opinion in Hollywood isn’t easy. Being strong enough to vocalize those opinions is next to impossible. https://t.co/DglwqFZtZh

It takes guts. And Heaton has them.
