Why Some Are Skipping Thanksgiving With Family Over Politics

America's political divide is coming to the Thanksgiving table. Fox News personality Jesse Watters says he was not invited to his mother's house for Thanksgiving. New Yorker Elsie Paulino is packing her bags and says she's flying to Europe to avoid her family, who voted for Donald Trump, on Thanksgiving. Inside Edition's Ann Mercogliano has more.

Hey if nobody shows up for Thanksgiving then that's less Christmas gifts you have to buy XD

[chasehicks]

This is childish people, there's more to talk about than politics

[tamarockstar]

It’s so saddening that’s people hate each other and fight over politics

[WinterXR]

If you’re skipping thanksgiving over politics then you may need to reevaluate your life choices. 2 people fighting for a house in Washington shouldn’t have the ability to break up your family unless you want to give them that power.

its not just about politics. its about difference in morals and human empathy.

[sixreggie]

America has gotten soft. This is ridiculous.

[DrakeBernal-jn]

Flying to Europe to avoid family on the holidays? What a great person.

[franhart]

It's not about a candidate its about morals or ignorance

[IAMHERE]

I agree.People don’t have to spend time with people they don’t want to be around even if it’s their own family.Protect your peace!!!

This is utterly ridiculous, you never know when your last holiday together will be. Those that have lost loved ones cherish that special time spent together.

It’s not politics anymore, it actually affects a lot of lives. But family is more important, nothing over family.

My sister did not come to family gathering 40 minutes away when option to ride with a brother. Over politics because 4 of us voted for person she did not… the orange one. She cannot stand to even hear his name and we all agreed not to talk politics. She met with Harris voters the day prior, then skipped seeing rest of her family. My own sister.

If your family is obnoxious you shouldn't be guilt tripped by TV hosts into feeling badly by saying no.

I’m a Kamala Harris supporter and this is just sad to see, my dad voted for trump and I was kinda disappointed by that but he’s still a great dad, I still love him, luckily politics didn’t effect our thanksgiving, this is just sad, DONT LET POLITICS DESTROY YOUR FAMILY BRUH

[curtislund]

After Thanksgiving you can skip Christmas too. Your families will be so happy.

[callumanderson]

This is why you don't tell people who your voting for

[jediskunk]

**I AM TIRED OF POLITICS ALWAYS RUINING LIVES! LET'S JUST GET TOGETHER AND ENJOY OURSELVES AS FAMILY!**

[foxhound]

Truly terrible. And you forgot to play the other view women who say “skip them”. And there have been other news anchors who said the same thing. Instead of talking with the ones who care for you the most, you run away. Truly sad and the opposite of what needs to happen. Who also says you talk politics? Life is more than just politics.

Why did you guys turn off the comments in the last video lol

[djeto]

With my family, politics is not talked about in the household.
