Overview
- Katrina Campins told viewers that women get “hotter” if they join the Republican Party and declared, “All Republican women are hot,” during the Dec. 3 broadcast.
- Jesse Watters agreed on air, saying, “So when you register Republican, you just get hotter.”
- The exchange followed Krystal Ball’s podcast comments attacking Sweeney and accusing her of courting right‑wing ethnonationalists.
- Sweeney previously drew backlash over an American Eagle ad that critics said echoed eugenics themes, and President Donald Trump publicly lauded the spot after reports of her GOP registration.
- Coverage also noted Sweeney’s biopic Christy opened to about $1.3 million at the box office, and Watters referenced media chatter about a supposed “Mar-a-Lago makeover.”
