Fox Business host Katrina Campins suggested that any women who want to be “hotter” should join the Republican Party.

Speaking on the Wednesday installment of the Fox News program Jesse Watters Primetime, Campins said of celebrity Sydney Sweeney (who is a registered Republican voter), “She’s getting hotter, and [Democrats are] so jealous, right? They’re like, ‘She’s so Republican, she gets hotter by the minute,’ right? And so my advice to all the ladies: Our side is better, and you get hotter, right? All Republican women are hot! Tell me that’s not true.”

“It is true,” replied Watters. “When you register Republican, you just get hotter.”

Campins made her comment in response to criticisms against Sweeney made by MSNBC host Krystal Ball on a recent installment of the I’ve Had It podcast.

“[Sweeney] knows what she’s doing,” Ball said. “She wants to appeal to these, like, right-wing, ethno-centric white nationalists, effectively. She thought this would be great for her career. Turns out, they don’t want to see an artsy movie about, like, a female boxer who’s a lesbian, like Christy’ this movie she just put out that totally bombed at the box office.”

The 2025 movie Christy was a box office bomb, earning only $1.3 million in its opening weekend despite having a $15 million production budget and a release in over 2,000 theaters. Sweeney was widely criticized for appearing in an American Eagle advertisement earlier this year, which declared that she has “good jeans.”

Critics noted that the ad’s mention of jeans (which is a homophone of “genes”) reinforced eugenist, white supremacist views of white people’s genes being superior and preferable to those of other races. Fears of white supremacy have increased during the president’s very racist second term.
