Yale psychiatrist urges MSNBC viewers to shun Trump-voting family members over the holidays

A Yale-affiliated psychiatrist encouraged LGBTQ+ people whose family members voted for Donald Trump to cut ties and shun their relatives over the upcoming holidays — as fallout from the election reached hysteria on left-leaning MSNBC.
Yale University child psychiatry fellow Dr. Amanda Calhoun dug into the issue of the post-election crises in the LGBTQ+ community with MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Friday night.
“There is a societal push that, if somebody is your family, they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely not,” Calhoun said in a clip shared online.
MSNBC host Joy Reid recently discussed how liberals should avoid Trump-voting family members following the 2024 election.
“So, if you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people, and to tell them why,” she continued.
“To say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday, I need to take some space for me.’”
Calhoun appeared on liberal network’s “The ReidOut” in response to reports of a massive increase in crisis calls from LGBTQ+ youth in the wake of Trump’s staggering win this week.
Under Trump’s presidency, many rights and protections for trans people and other members of the LGBTQ+ community are likely to be under serious threat, advocates say.
Dr. Calhoun said it was OK for Harris voters to skip the holidays with Trump-supporting family members.
Several commenters, however, were miffed by Calhoun’s advice – with multiple X users writing that the doctor must have “mental health problems.”
Earlier this week, Reid, who is Black, also drew negative attention over her choice words for Latino men who backed Trump.
“Latino men, who, despite the utter disrespect shown by Trump and his promise to deport some of your mixed-status families, most of them voted in a 55% majority to make the deportations happen,” Reid lamented.
“Y’all voted with [former Trump adviser] Stephen Miller and [neo-Nazi] David Duke and against your own sisters, who chose Kamala Harris with 60% of their votes. So, you own everything that happens to your mixed-status families and to your wives, sisters and abuelas from here on in,” she insisted.
“Keep going with the racist scolds, MSNBC. It’s going to work wonders in the midterms,” one viewer chided in response to a clip of Reid’s rant.
“Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough ripped Democrats for being “afraid” to “offend some small subset of their base” by speaking out about illegal immigration and transgender issues — two concerns that the Trump campaign pushed in the months before Election Day.
“They’re afraid to offend. Always afraid to offend,” Scarborough said. “Always afraid to offend on border security. Always afraid to offend on so many other issues and they have lost working class America.”
“The question is, how long until they understand that this isn’t just about tax cuts, this isn’t just about economics, this is about cultural markers that matter greatly in these people’s lives?”
