Politics has the ability to unite, but it also has the power to divide — something Lady Gaga’s father and New York City restaurant owner Joe Germanotta is apparently feeling after former President Trump’s 2024 election win. “I came out as a Republican on ‘FOX & Friends,’ ever since then, you know, it’s been a little dicey at home,” Germanotta said Wednesday on “ Cavuto: Coast to Coast .” “But you know, [we’ll] get past it.
” Germanotta agreed with FOX Business’ David Asman that he considers himself an “open-minded Republican,” often aligning 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 Republican conservative attitudes, that doesn’t mean I don’t support the LGBTQ community, or drag as a form of artistry,” he expanded. “And that’s why we use the restaurant as a venue for them to come in, the drag artists,” Germanotta said, “and perform once a week.
” The Joanne Trattoria owner 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 do not entirely agree politically, as Germanotta has been outspoken about New Y.
