You can't just cut someone

You can't just cut someone out of your life because they often seem to bring conflict or controversy with them, wherever they go. But you can make a decision not to encourage them or to become overly embroiled in the dramas that they seem to be creating. Politely but firmly, lovingly but clearly, you can keep a respectful and respectable distance from situations that could too easily escalate into disagreements, even stand-offs. Better to let neutrality be misinterpreted as bias than to join a campaign that's probably destined to fail.
