Laura Ingraham & Paul Gosar’s Families Say It’s Humiliating To Be Related To Them (HBO)

Politics can create deeply awkward Thanksgiving dinners for many American families, but for these guys, politics is actually tearing their families apart. Dave and Tim Gosar were so appalled by the public positions of their brother, Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar, that they appeared in an ad for his political opponent. Curtis Ingraham is the brother of Fox News host Laura Ingraham. He says they used to be so close they could finish each other's sentences; now he denounces her hot takes on Twitter.
"Are you supposed to stand by your family no matter what they do? ‘Oh, hi Paul, other than demonizing immigrants and trying to take away our healthcare... how’s it going?" Dave Gosar said. "Let’s agree to disagree about taking babies from their parents at the border...Pass the turkey!"
Curtis' sister was just parodied on Saturday Night Live. He said Kate McKinnon captured his sister's mannerisms beautifully, but he's unsettled by what the parody symbolizes. "Someone asked me: is that your sister or is she playing a personality?" Curtis said. "I think that is her now, that’s who she has become."
VICE News brought the three of them together in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, before the midterm elections, to talk about what it's like to experience a very common family drama on a national stage.

[@tannyocean9984]

You can't choose your family...and politics should not be a higher priority than the bond in the family

[@nadinadi8385]

Tanny Ocean if your family is already broken and dysfunctional, then you sometimes have to do the right thing and walk away and allow some family members to sort themselves out. You don’t stick around and create more dysfunction, anger and resentment. It’s easy.

[@nadinadi8385]

Senri Shiki it not about status quo, it’s choosing between right and wrong. Your values may be very different from mine and that’s fine. That’s that joy of living in such an awesome country that gives people the right to believed what they want. I don’t value anything that Laura Ingram and Paul Gossar stand for. I feel that their value fear and racism over the overall well being of this country. You’re entitled to disagree.

[@tannyocean9984]

@@nadinadi8385 you can do that with friendship but personally i think the family bond should be placed above things like politics. El familia es todos. Different opinion about black people, or abortion, etc should not get in the way of caring for one another.

[@Adohleas]

@@tannyocean9984 Disagreements can cause huge rifts no matter if you're family. Lets take for example my sister in law, she is a anti-vaxxer who spams on facebook with misinformation. I feel she is irresponsible with many of her beliefs that she pushes onto my nieces and nephews and it causes huge arguments here and there. I can see similar situations with politics if family members don't follow the same ideology. The fact that you get royals killing their own family goes to show that the reality of family bond isn't as strong as people think. Sure there is a bond, but power or radical beliefs will sometimes break those bonds.

[@jackj5368]

Your English writing skills are poor,@Isam El-hussein . I kindly suggest you learn how to write before attempting to post future comments on youTube. Steven Scummy is correct. China has violated almost every canon of international commercial law and trade. It has bullied all of its Asian neighbors and insidiously expanded its intrusions into their air and sea space. The 200,000+ Americans who have died from the China Virus that mysteriously originated in within China and spread globally, was entirely due to Chinese laxity and deceit. China’s “Belt and Road Initiative” is a throwback to the 19th century’s colonialism and imperialism. Dissidents don’t go off Twitter in China; they more often just disappear. And, in support of Steven Scummy's earlier assertion, the growing NBA-China nexus couldn’t come at a more embarrassing time for the league.

To the swill drinkers in the comment section bashing VICE for this piece and spouting claiming this is "only fanning the divide," look at it for what it is family members who disagree on politics because not only are they part of the constituent base, but know their family is lost for perpetuating a false narrative of superiority, and the sacrifice of the civility. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." -- Edmund Burke

[@whiteyobanion1104]

@Domagoj Čović Going by that logic the people who disagreed with Hitler's politics shouldn't have torn their families apart. And the irony of your quote, when taken in context, was about Hamlet wishing for blissful ignorance due to his condition.

@@astaraoneill9166 Trump never called Nazis very fine people, and I am tired of people like you continuing to push this lie. I'll explain it to you. There were two groups who went out to protest that day: The ones who wanted tear down historic monuments, and the ones who wanted to preserve historic monuments. The people who wanted to preserve the monuments were not all Nazis, there were some fine people in that group also. There were also fine people in the "take down this statue" group. Not all of those people were violent thugs, though some were. On the issue of the statues, there were "fine people" on both sides. He absolutely was NOT calling the white supremacist's "very fine people." So there's the truth, if you can take it.

LBGTQ rights-not political. Fear of the police-not political. Taking care of our planet-not political. Not wanting to be sexual harassed - not political. Wanting a quality education at a reasonable cost-not political. Not wanting to be discriminated against because the color of you skin, your gender, religion, financial status, etc- not political. Politics is the vehicle to either advance or stall all (and more) of the aforementioned issues. The issues themselves are worth arguing about, fighting for, compromising on, and not compromising on. So to say families, friends, fellow Americans, and humans shouldn't splinter because of "politics" is disingenuous. Blanketing a human's beliefs, rights, ideas, views under the title of politics, undermines the importance of those beliefs. I believe for the most part , progressives are a people of acceptance, inclusion, and tolerance. It seems the Rights argument and frustration are they want the Left to be accepting of their intolerance and their lack of acceptance. It's completely irrational.
