Republicans become entangled by family feuds over politics

Thanksgiving dinner could get awkward for some political families this year.

Bobby Goodlatte, the son of retiring Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), raised eyebrows over the weekend when he announced that he had donated to the Democrat running for his father’s seat.

On Monday, he went further, saying he was “deeply embarrassed” that his father’s “political grandstanding” cost FBI agent Peter Strzok his job. Strzok was fired on Monday after an investigation of anti-Trump texts he sent while involved in investigations of Hillary Clinton and Russian election interference.

The same day, White House aide Stephen Miller’s uncle wrote a scathing editorial calling his nephew an “immigration hypocrite” and comparing President Trump to Nazis.

The uncle, David Glosser, later told CNN that “dozens of family members” encouraged him to pen the editorial about his nephew.

that relatives are giving their opinions. I applaud them for having the spine to tell the public the truth about the hypocrisy of the GOP and this admin. They are more patriotic than their relatives apparently are and more people/relatives should be calling them out in public.
