Fox News host Jesse Watters and Katrina Campins concluded Wednesday that Sydney Sweeney’s perceived MAGA looks are proving that women get hotter when they’re seen as Republicans. (Watch the video below.)
The vapid chatter centered on scrutiny over the movie star’s various hairstyles as she promotes her films, which include the recently bombed boxer biopic “Christy” and “The Housemaid.”
“The media says she got a ‘Mar-a-Lago makeover’ and it’s driving liberals loca,” Watters said in an intro on “Jesse Watters Primetime.”
Watters teed up biting remarks about the “Euphoria” actor by ex-MSNBC host Krystal Ball, who said that Sweeney “wants to appeal to these, like, right-wing, ethnocentric white nationalists effectively. I find her embarrassing and pathetic honestly.”
Campins, a Fox Business contributor and host, spun Ball’s outrage into a gush over Sweeney and the GOP.
“She’s getting hotter and they are so jealous,” Campins said. “They’re like, ‘She is so Republican.’ She gets hotter by the minute, right. So my advice to all of the ladies, our side is better and you get hotter. All Republican women are hot. Tell me that’s not true.”
“That is true,” Watters replied, “So when you register Republican, you just get hotter.”
Sweeney’s emergence as a leading lady in Hollywood has been accompanied by buzz over her political affiliation (she is reportedly registered as a Republican), praise from President Donald Trump for a controversial jeans ad that celebrated her blond hair and blue eyes, and a shocking attack from fellow actor Ruby Rose.
Rose said she was once attached to play Christy Martin’s girlfriend in “Christy.”
“Everyone had experience with the core material. Most of us were actually gay,” Rose said last month. “It’s part of why I stayed in acting. Losing roles happens all the time.”
The former “Orange Is the New Black” star took issue with Team Sweeney’s defense of her box-office bomb.
“For her PR to talk about it flopping and saying SS did it for the ‘people,’” she wrote. “None of ‘the people’ want to see someone who hates them, parading around pretending to be us.”
Pivoting to a rebuke directly at Sweeney, Rose added, “You’re a cretin and you ruined the film. Period. Christy deserved better.”
