I love Henry Winkler and I won’t ever say a bad thing about him but if they can’t even get all the main characters of Happy Days for a reunion, how are we supposed to come together as a nation?

I love Henry Winkler. He's a good human being. I think he's wrong here, though. The pandemic revealed what Americans are capable of when something serious threatens all of us. Sad. Disappointing. Infuriating. https://t.co/lViRKuy1EF

According to Winkler, the pandemic was not enough to bring all of us together. He might be pointing towards another event. However, the general public was unable to decipher the true intent behind his words.
