Hollywood’s latest display of elite self-righteousness came into sharp focus when Molly McNearney — the executive producer and co-head writer of Jimmy Kimmel Live! — told the We Can Do Hard Things podcast that she’s “lost relationships” with relatives who voted for President Trump. Her admission is not some private grief to be respected; it’s a public declaration that political disagreement equals social exile in the left’s playbook, and it should alarm any American who still values family over faction.
McNearney even bragged that she bombarded relatives with a list of “10 reasons not to vote for this guy” before the 2024 election, and then treated their refusal to comply as a personal betrayal. That’s not persuasion, it’s moral coercion dressed up as virtue signaling from somebody who lives in a bubble of coastal media privilege. Americans who believe in free speech, free thought, and robust family debate should recoil at the idea that relatives are disposable simply because they disagree.
She didn’t stop there — McNearney confessed she’s “angry all the time” and that she now personalizes every news story as a slight against her household, a disturbing admission given her influence on a national platform. This is the exact temperament that turns reasonable political disagreement into vengeful ostracism, and it exposes the toxic emotionalism driving much of modern left-wing media. Families used to argue and move on; now they cut and purge, and the result is a fraying social fabric.
All of this came in the wake of ABC’s brief decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show after his controversial remarks sparked a storm, an incident that only underscores how fragile career standing is when you cross powerful interests on either side. Hollywood elites love to lecture the rest of the country about decency and values while treating dissenters like subversives to be purged. If the blue-check contempt for ordinary Americans continues, we’ll keep seeing families and communities splinter under the weight of celebrity sanctimony.
McNearney said she’s “pulled in closer with the family that I feel more aligned with,” and that rote expectation of ideological conformity is now her compass for loyalty. That admission is chilling because it substitutes shared blood and history with political litmus tests — a recipe for permanent division and a betrayal of the basic American premise that people can disagree and remain neighbors and kin. Conservatives have been warning for years that cancel culture would metastasize from public figures to private life; this is exactly the living example.
So here’s the message to hardworking Americans: don’t let the loud, pampered voices in Los Angeles define what family means for you. Stand firm for civility, demand that children learn debate instead of indoctrination, and refuse the practice of trading relatives for political purity. Our nation was built on the idea that free men and women could live together despite differences — and no Hollywood executive, no late-night writer, and no angry cable pundit will ever make cutting off your kin patriotism.
