Brothers Brad and Dallas Woodhouse share the same DNA but when it comes to politics, the two couldn't be more different, and on Tuesday, when their partisan differences were on full display during a televised debate, their mother Joy unexpectedly called in to ask them to stop fighting.
'I'm your mother and I disagree that all families are like ours. I don't know many families that are fighting at Thanksgiving,' she said, scolding her political operative sons.
'I was very glad that this Thanksgiving was the year that you two were supposed to go to your in-laws, and I'm hoping you'll have some of this out of your systems when you come here for Christmas.'

Dallas Woodhouse, a Republican, is the founder of the North Carolina based grassroots group Carolina Rising. Before that he worked as the director of the Tar Heel State's Americans for Prosperity chapter.
His brother, Brad, is accomplished in his own right, having founded progressive group Americans United for Change and worked as the communications director at the Democratic National Committee. He now serves as president of political action group American Bridge.
The siblings' unusual relationship was the subject of a documentary released earlier this fall aptly called Woodhouse Divided.
