Molly McNearney — the head writer and executive producer of Jimmy Kimmel Live! — told the “We Can Do Hard Things” podcast that she felt deeply betrayed by relatives who backed President Trump, saying their vote was effectively a vote against her TV-host husband and family. “I’ve sent many emails to my family, like right before the election, saying, ‘I’m begging you. Here’s the 10 reasons not to vote for this guy. Please don’t.’ And I either got ignored by 90 per cent of them or got truly insane response from a few,” McNearney said on Thursday’s episode, which she appeared on with Kimmel.

And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people in my family because of it.” The TV writer said she was “angry all the time” at certain aunts, uncles, and cousins for helping elect Trump, yet claimed she still feels “sympathy” for them, calling them “deliberately misinformed”. She added she’s now tighter with family members who align with her politically. “It hurts me so much because of the personal relationship I now have, where my husband is out there fighting this man, and to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family. And I unfortunately have kind of lost relationships with people in my family because of it,” McNearney said. She continued, saying that, for her, politics are no longer about “Republican versus Democrat,” but about “family values”. “And it’s really hard for me because I grew up believing in these Christian ideals of taking care of the sick and taking care of the poor, and I don’t see that happening with this Republican Party. And so it’s — I feel like I’m kind of in constant conflict, and I’m angry all the time, which isn’t healthy at all,” McNearney explained. “But I, like, personalise everything now. When I see these terrible stories every day, I’m immediately mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins who put (Trump) in power.” You can watch her full statement in the video player above Copied URL to clipboard Emma Stone looks unhappy with Kimmel's joke Emma Stone was visibly unhappy with Jimmy... The couple’s appearance comes about two months after Kimmel’s late-night show was briefly yanked from the air follow his September 15 monologue, claiming that Tyler Robinson, accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk, was likely linked to the “MAGA gang”. “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterise this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” the comedian told his viewers during the controversial segment.
