Jerry O’Connell reveals his liberal daughters were “filled with RAGE” and “became PHYSICAL” with him when he criticized Kamala Harris as a candidate.

O’CONNELL: “If I say this, will I stay married? Blow it over here.”

MAHER: “Sounds like you’re going to blow it over here.”

O’CONNELL: “The night of the [2024] election… I was watching late at night, the returns, and I’ll be honest with you, I didn’t think Trump was going to win. I live in California. I didn’t think he was going to win from what I was hearing.”

“I said something along the lines of, like, ‘There was no planning.’ ‘This is what they get.’ ‘There should have been a primary.’”

“I said something along those lines. I was just spitballing ideas as to—it was a shock, you know?”

“My wife and daughters, without saying anything, became physical with me. They were filled with rage.”

“So if I am being careful with you in how I say things… I live with not one, not two, but three people who, if I made any kind of joke, they’d become very angry with me, you know?”

Once O’Connell said this, Maher saw a man who had completely lost control of his household.

He bluntly told him that living in fear of your own family’s reactions is no way to live:

“I don’t want to tell you how to live your life, but I couldn’t live that way… I say what I truly think. And if it makes you angry, I’m sorry, we’ll have to work that out.”

“I am not going to tuck my tail between my legs and just shut the f*ck up.”
