Over the weekend, gun enthusiasts and political pundits alike lit up social media after Taran Tactical Innovations, a well-known online firearms retailer, posted a video of Sydney Sweeney at a shooting range. In the clip, the actress confidently loads, fires, and reloads multiple weapons with sharp precision. The footage quickly went viral, especially among right-wing circles, where it was hailed as further proof of Sweeney’s “American values.”
Fox News personality Lawrence Jones, co-hosting Fox & Friends, expressed unabashed admiration for Sweeney during Monday’s broadcast. “You love to see it,” Jones said to fellow co-hosts Charlie Hurt and Sandra Smith. “For me, as a single guy, anytime I see a young woman that can shoot, her value goes up. That means I can take her home to Texas. She understands — that means when I’m away from the family, she’s gonna protect the family. And I think this is beautiful.”
“She is not just beautiful, but she can shoot too? We’re done here. It’s just beautiful,” Jones added, reflecting a sentiment common among red-blooded conservative men.
The excitement around Sweeney’s perceived political leanings began when it surfaced that she is a registered Republican in Florida — a detail that reportedly even reached former President Donald Trump, who has acknowledged her rise in popularity. Her alignment with right-leaning values has sparked intense debate online, with many progressives criticizing her recent American Eagle campaign for allegedly promoting “racist” and even “Nazi propaganda.”
An entertaining AI parody music video went viral after the big bruhaha. You can catch it below along with a link to Jimmy Failla and his Saturday night panel to whom he asked, “Did boobies just save us from cancel culture once and for all?”
