Politics has the ability to unite, but it also has the power to divide – something Lady Gaga’s father and New York restaurant owner reportedly felt after Donald Trump won the 2024 election.

“I became a Republican on ‘Fox & Friends,’ since then, you know, it’s a little dicey at home,” Joe Germanotta said on “Cavuto: from coast to coast” Wednesday.

“But you know, (we’ll) get through this.”

Germanotta agrees with FOX Business’ David Asman that he considers himself an “open-minded Republican,” often aligning himself with liberal-leaning social issues.

“What really needs to happen is people need to understand that even though I’m a Republican and I have conservative Republican attitudes, that doesn’t mean I don’t support the LGBTQ community, or that I don’t no drag as an art form,” he expanded.

“And that’s why we use the restaurant as a place where they can come, the drag artists,” Germanotta said, “and perform once a week.”

The owner of Joanne Trattoria officially endorsed Trump for president in September, but more recently, his Grammy Award-winning daughter made a public appearance in support of Vice President Kamala Harris on the last day of campaigning.

Lady Gaga gave a heartfelt performance alongside a star-studded lineup for Harris, which included Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, James Taylor and Ricky Martin.

The father-daughter duo don’t entirely agree politically, as Germanotta has made that clear. The disappearance of New York City under Democratic leadership.

If Harris had won, “I think it would have killed a lot of businesses in New York,” the father said while maintaining he was considering moving to Wyoming.

“Between immigration, crime and the economy, there is a cascading effect,” he said.

Trump’s victory, however, appeared to be “a hat trick” and Germanotta is “of course” happy with the end result.

“As soon as we start to turn the economy around, and they drill, baby, drill, and the price of gas goes down, that producer price index will drop, meaning consumers will get a better deal. I could lower the prices. This will attract more customers and we will get back to where we were five or six years ago. »
