00:00Jimmy Kimmel's wife claims she lost relationships with some family members after they voted for Donald Trump.
00:06Molly McNerney revealed on the We Can Do Hard Things podcast that family ties strained after relatives voted for Trump,
00:13as she and Jimmy Kimmel also discussed his feud with the former president.
00:17What is it like to go from, like, a conservative family and become, like, the Mockingjay of the other side?
00:23Podcast MC Glennon Doyle wondered, referring to the infamous Hunger Games emblem for change.
00:29McNerney, who grew up in a very conservative Republican family in Missouri, admitted it's been challenging, noting her views have shifted over time.
00:38She was upset when Trump won in 2016 and feels even more strongly about his potential 2024 victory.
00:45The TV producer noted she has sympathy for her family members that are deliberately being misinformed every day.
00:53It hurts me so much because of the personal relationship I now have where my husband is out there fighting this man.
00:59She went on.
01:00And to me, them voting for Trump is them not voting for my husband and me and our family.
01:05McNerney added, also stating that she has lost relationships with people in my family because of it.
01:12McNerney insisted, this is not just Republican versus Democrat for me anymore.
01:16It is, to me, it's family values.
01:19And it's really hard for me because I grew up believing in these Christian ideals of taking care of the sick
01:24and taking care of the poor, and I don't see that happening with this Republican Party.
01:28I feel like I'm kind of in constant conflict and I'm angry all the time, which isn't healthy at all.
01:33The screenwriter sighed.
01:35But I personalize everything now.
01:37When I see these terrible stories every day, I'm immediately mad at certain aunts, uncles, cousins who put him in power.
01:43And it's really hard.
01:45Kimmel and Trump's feud intensified after his comments about slain pundit Charlie Kirk led to his show's September hiatus.
01:51Trump celebrated the news, writing on Truth Social, Great News for America.
01:57The Ratings Challenge Jimmy Kimmel Show is canceled.
02:00Congratulations to ABC for finally having the courage to do what had to be done.
