Lady Gaga's dad Joe Germanotta admits their relationship has been 'dicey' since he came out as Republican

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Joe Germanotta, Lady Gaga's father and owner of the New York City restaurant Joanne Trattoria, has opened up about the political divide that has affected his relationship with his daughter.

The 67-year-old entrepreneur officially endorsed Donald Trump for president in September, in contrast to his 38-year-old daughter's outspoken support for Kamala Harris. 

On the final day of the campaign, Lady Gaga made a public appearance in support of Harris, joining a star-studded performance alongside Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry, James Taylor, and Ricky Martin. 

Lady Gaga's father Joe Germanotta says things got dicey at home after he came out as a Republican 

In an interview with 'Cavuto: Coast to Coast' on Wednesday, November 6, Joe Germanotta, opened up about the strain in his relationship with his daughter after making his political stance public. He revealed, "I came out as a Republican on 'FOX & Friends', ever since then, you know, it's been a little dicey at home."

However, he remains optimistic that the situation will get better. Germanotta remarked, "But you know, we’ll get past it," as per Fox Business.

The entrepreneur, who describes himself as an "open-minded Republican," acknowledged that he often aligns with liberal views on social issues.

He explained, "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. And that's why we use the restaurant as a venue for them to come in, the drag artists. and perform once a week."

Having said that, Germanotta thinks if Harris had won she "would have killed a lot of businesses in New York City." He had even thought about moving to Wyoming.

"Between the immigration and the crime and the economy, it's a cascading effect," shared the father of two.

Trump's win felt like a "hat trick" to him. He stated, "As soon as we start getting the economy straightened out, and they ‘drill, baby, drill,’ and the price of gas comes down, that producer price index is going to go down, which means consumers are going to get a better deal. I'll be able to lower prices. It'll bring in more customers, and we'll be back to where we were five or six years ago."

Netizens shared their own experiences as well as thoughts on the situation after Joe Germanotta opened up about how things between Lady Gaga and him got strained due to their policial differences. 

One wrote, "Its sad that politics comes between families, esp a parent and child. My parents are very liberal and I'm conservative, used to be liberal. We argue sure, but they are still my parents and I love them both no matter what!"

"Smart man. For his sake I hope whatever level of estrangement he and his daughter are experiencing is short-lived," said another.

A person shared, "Joe, you and I have a lot in common. My daughter is a lot like yours and we cannot talk politics. I am an Independent and I lean to the right. My daughter would make AOC look like a conservative. I read this story and I smiled. I feel for you."  

"Actually, politics has nothing to do with your relationship.  It's between you and her, period," remarked an individual. 

One more stated, "Unlike your daughter....you make way to much sense," while one more added, "Mr. Germanotta must not blame himself, it's his daughter's problem. My son is a liberal. We just don't discuss politics. He can't handle it."
