Molly McNearney, wife of Jimmy Kimmel and head writer for 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!', discussed her feelings of betrayal regarding her Trump-supporting family members. McNearney, who grew up in a conservative household, stated she has lost relationships with relatives due to their political views, seeing their support for Trump as a personal slight against her and her husband. She explained that for her, politics has evolved from a Republican versus Democrat issue to one of 'family values', leading to anger towards family members who supported Trump. Her husband, Jimmy Kimmel, was suspended by ABC in September after criticising Trump and his supporters concerning the death of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. Kimmel was reinstated after six days, with Disney describing his comments as 'ill-timed', and he later clarified that he did not intend to make light of the young man's murder.
