‘Call Sydney Sweeney a fascist, and another 20-year-old comes in Trump’s support’: Charlie Kirk slams Beyoncé as ‘artificial’ over Levi’s ad

Megyn Kelly, the conservative firebrand, has thrown her weight behind Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney. In a now-viral exchange that’s sparked yet another internet culture war, Kelly, alongside Charlie Kirk, slammed Beyoncé, branding her a “completely artificial creation,” built by Jay-Z and packaged for the masses. In contrast, they praised Sweeney for her unfiltered look, calling her a “natural American beauty” who hasn’t gone under the knife, yet somehow finds herself dragged through the mud by the same crowd that hypes up plastic icons. For Kelly and Kirk, the backlash Sweeney faces is proof the left’s meltdown over someone who refuses to fit their narrative.

During his appearance, the Turning Point USA co-founder claimed Sydney Sweeney is being unfairly targeted by liberals for her perceived political leanings. “Every time you call Sydney Sweeney a fascist, another 20-year-old man registers as a Republican,” Kirk said, doubling down on claims made by JD Vance and Donald Trump, who see no problem with Sweeney’s ad. Kirk said that the backlash against Sweeney is driving young men away from liberalism and toward the right.

Kirk’s comments follow criticism Sweeney has faced in recent years, including after family photos from a political-themed birthday party went viral, sparking speculation about her alleged conservative ties. While Sweeney has largely remained silent on her political views, she has also previously expressed dismay about the scrutiny, telling GQ in 2022, “You don’t know what people are going through or what their families are like… it’s a lot.”

Meanwhile, Kelly slammed Beyoncé. The former Fox News host claimed Beyoncé’s image is a manufactured product rather than a reflection of real artistic authenticity. “She is not organic,” Kelly stated. “Everything about her has been crafted to sell an image, a lifestyle. And I think younger audiences are starting to see through that.” Kelly went further to diss the country singer, describing her using her videos in the show to play the victim card, showing how Kelly is such a bully: “It is not possible for me to ‘bully’ BEYONCÉ, literally one of the richest, most privileged/connected/famous ppl in the world.”

Earlier, President Donald Trump wrote on his Truth Social, hyping the Euphoria star, “Go get ‘em, Sydney!” These comments have started fan wars on the internet, arguing that both Sweeney and Beyoncé are being used as cultural pawns in a ideological battle. Critics accuse Kelly and Kirk of reducing powerful women in entertainment to political talking points, while others argue the conversation digs deeper into the genuine fatigue over marketed celebrity culture.
