Politics has the power to unite, but it also has the power to divide – something Lady Gaga’s father and New York City restaurateur Joe Germanotta is clearly feeling after former President Trump’s 2024 election victory.
“Since I came on ‘Fox & Friends’ as a Republican, you know, it’s been a little difficult at home,” Germanotta said Wednesday.Cavuto: Coast to Coast,
“but you know, [we’ll] Get over it.”
Germanotta agreed with David Asman of Fox Business that he considers himself an “open-minded Republican” who often engages with libertarian-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 viewpoints, it doesn’t mean that I don’t support the LGBTQ community, or use it artistically. “Pull into form,” he elaborated.
Germanotta said, “And that’s why we use the restaurant as a venue for drag artists to come and perform once a week.”
The owner of Joan’s Trattoria officially endorsed Trump for president in September, but more recently, her Grammy Award-winning daughter made a public appearance In support of Vice President Kamala Harris on the last day of election campaign.
Lady Gaga gave a heartfelt performance for Harris with a star-studded lineup that included Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, James Taylor and Ricky Martin.
The father-daughter duo don’t entirely agree politically, as Germanotta has been vocal about demise of new york city Under democratic leadership.
If Harris had won, “I think it would have eliminated a lot of businesses in New York City,” Germanotta said, claiming he plans to move to Wyoming.
“Between immigration and crime and the economy, it’s a cascading effect,” he said.
However, Trump’s victory felt like “a hat trick” and Germanotta is “definitely” happy with the final result.
“As soon as we start organizing the economy, and they go ‘drill, baby, drill,’ and the price of gas goes down, that producer price Index is going to go down, which means consumers are going to get a better deal. I will be able to lower the prices. This will bring more customers and we will be back to where we were five or six years ago,” he said.
