“I sent many emails to my family right before the election saying, ‘I’m begging you. Here are 10 reasons not to vote for this guy. Please don’t do it,’” said the head writer of Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

“And either 90% of them ignored me, or I got completely insane responses from some,” Molly McNearney said in Thursday’s (6th) episode, explaining that she felt deeply hurt in those family relationships.

“My husband is out there standing up to this man, and to me, their vote for Trump is the same as not voting for my husband, for me, and for our family,” she said, lamenting the end of those family relationships.

The TV writer said she is “angry all the time” at certain relatives who helped elect Trump, although she feels “sympathy” for them, calling them “deliberately misinformed.”

However, Molly McNearney said her bonds with family members who share her political views have grown stronger.
