MSNBC guest urges viewers to shun family members who voted for Trump

A psychiatrist has appeared on MSNBC and encouraged LGBTQ+ viewers to shun family members who voted for Donald Trump. During an episode of MSNBC’s ‘The ReidOut’, Yale University child psychiatry fellow Dr Amanda Calhoun was interviewed. MSNBC host Joy Reid spoke to Dr Calhoun, who advised viewers to cut ties with family members over Christmas. Dr Calhoun was brought onto the show to discuss the issues facing the LGBTQ+ community following the presidential election. The two spoke on Friday night, shortly after Donald Trump was elected as the 47th President of the United States. “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,” Dr Calhoun said.
