Sydney Sweeney just can't avoid controversy. The Euphoria star is facing backlash over her political affiliation after she was accused of promoting white supremacy in a recent American Eagle ad campaign.

American Eagle used wordplay to celebrate the Emmy nominee's "great jeans" and "great genes," but critics were quick to point out that highlighting a thin white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes as the physical ideal is a dog whistle for eugenics.

There has been curiosity surrounding Sweeney's political beliefs since her family wore "Make America Great Again"-inspired hats reading "Make Sixty Great Again" during her mother's 60th birthday party in 2022. After fans accused her of supporting Donald Trump, Sweeney took to X to stress that her mom's birthday party was "an innocent celebration" that "turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention."

You guys this is wild. An innocent celebration for my moms milestone 60th birthday has turned into an absurd political statement, which was not the intention. Please stop making assumptions. Much love to everyone ♥️ and Happy Birthday Mom!

However, critics might've been right about their initial analysis, as The Guardian reported on Aug. 3 that the actress registered as a Republican in the state of Florida months before the 2024 presidential election. While Voter Information Lookup can't specify how someone ultimately voted, her association with the Republican Party was enough for some fans to turn on her.

Finding out that Sydney Sweeney is a Republican is like learning your favorite baseball player thinks Trump is cool: you mean this white person from a conservative family who didn't graduate college has the same politics as most white people who didn't graduate college?!?

"Finding out that Sydney Sweeney is a Republican is like learning your favorite baseball player thinks Trump is cool: you mean this white person from a conservative family who didn't graduate college has the same politics as most white people who didn't graduate college?!?" one person wrote on X.

"Let the record show I am really not shocked Sydney Sweeney is a Republican," another joked. "I'm shocked she's an active Republican because that face looks like it's never seen a ballot."

While people on the left rushed to mock Sweeney, Trump and the Republicans quickly came to the blonde's defense.

"Does nobody else think that Sydney Sweeney's address being doxxed on her voter registration for being a Republican feels like voter intimidation? Can't even be proud of your jeans in 2025," one user pointed out.

Trump, meanwhile, wrote on Truth Social, "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. Go get 'em Sydney."

Jon Stewart is sick of the hypocrisy coming from Republicans.

During an episode of "The Weekly Show" podcast, the comedian slammed the right for their support of outwardly partisan late-night host Greg Gutfeld and their condemnation of recently fired Stephen Colbert for alienating half of his audience with his left-wing politics. 

"This is them trying to police and create rules that they would never follow," Stewart explained. "You know, they all talk about, Gutfeld!'s the most popular [late night show]. Yeah. He's not popular because he's a both-sides guy. He's not a fair use [host], like, the Fair Use Doctrine says; like, he's relentless. And you know, after a day of watching Fox News and being bathed in their very purposeful propaganda, it's a great way to top off the night."

Despite being the top-rated primetime talk show on network television, Colbert's The Late Show was canceled by CBS. The talk series raked in a reported 2.42 million viewers between April and June. Jimmy Kimmel Live! averaged 1.77 million viewers, while Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show, which airs on NBC, got 1.19 million viewers. By comparison, Gutfeld's Fox News program, which airs at 10 p.m. ET, averaged 3.29 million viewers in the second quarter.

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr — who runs the government agency that Paramount needed approval from for their merger with Skydance — publicly stated that "the partisan left's ritualist wailing and gnashing of teeth over Colbert" was "quite revealing" and appeared as if they were "losing a loyal DNC spokesperson."

Former late-night host Jay Leno recently spoke out against Colbert and his Democratic-leaning views. "I love political humor, don't get me wrong," the 75-year-old noted during a recent interview. "But why shoot for just half an audience all the time?"

According to a report, since 2022, Colbert hosted 176 Democratic politicians and only welcomed one conservative.

Despite speculation, CBS and Paramount claimed their decision to end the 61-year-old's show was a "financial decision" rather than a political one. "Our admiration, affection and respect for the talents of Stephen Colbert and his incredible team made this agonizing decision even more difficult," the message from the network read. "Stephen has taken CBS late night by storm with cutting-edge comedy, a must-watch monologue and interviews with leaders in entertainment, politics, news and newsmakers across all areas. The show has been number one in late night for nine straight seasons, Stephen's comedy resonates daily across digital and social media and the broadcast is a staple of the nation's zeitgeist."

Donald Trump's alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein may be closer than he wants to admit.

In new photos unearthed by RadarOnline.com, the president can be seen hanging out with the late s** offender alongside his wife, Melania Trump, Epstein's co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew at Mar-a-Lago in February 2000.

The pictures come after Donald claimed he threw Jeffrey out of the spa at his Florida resort for trying to "steal" workers. "I said, listen, we don't want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa," the Republican leader told reporters.

In an even more shocking claim, Donald alleged the person the financer tried to take was Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey's alleged victims who tragically died in April.

"I think she worked at the spa," the former star of The Apprentice said. "I think so. I think that was one of the people. He stole her, and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever."

The round of photos — featured in the book Epstein: Dead Men Tell No Tales by investigative journalist Dylan Howard — also defies Donald's 2019 claim that he never met Prince Andrew, who Virginia accused of s***** assault after she alleged Jeffrey and Ghislaine trafficked her.

"I don't know Prince Andrew, but it's a tough story," Donald said at the time about the member of the royal family. "I don't know him, no."

Jon Stewart opened up to Mehdi Hasan about a chilling interaction he had with former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes. On an episode of his "The Weekly Show" podcast, Stewart noted he had "one of those bananas-type meetings in the bowels of Fox News" with Ailes after the comedian made an appearance on The O'Reilly Factor.

"I used to go on Bill O'Reilly's show. Every now and again, they would bring in the, you know, 'clownish liberal' – myself – and I would go on there," Stewart said. "And one day, one of the people came down and said Mr. Ailes would like to see you. And I thought, 'Why? Geez, I didn't even know he lived in the building.'"

"We had to walk through the kind of 'Get Smart' — doors would open and shut. You didn't really know where you were until you got into this one part of the building that was colder than the other parts of the building," he continued. "You almost felt the hair on the back of your neck and the chill, and you could see everybody's breath in this one part. And he and I yelled at each other in the office for about an hour. He wanted me to show appreciation to him, because without him I have no career. And I wanted him to stop poisoning the atmosphere around the country."

"And harassing his blonde hosts," Hasan quipped, referencing the allegations against Ailes.

In 2016, Ailes stepped down from his position at Fox News after he was accused of harassment by several female employees including Megyn Kelly, Gretchen Carlson and Andrea Tantaros.

In 2015, Ailes opened up about Stewart, telling The Hollywood Reporter, "You can't say that many negative things about people unless you're really unhappy about something. … I actually think he doesn't dislike me. We met once or twice. I talked to him for an hour once in my office. I think he's really smart, and he's got a great future."

Stewart noted that the strategy Ailes used to build Fox has become common practice amongst the right.

"His methodology was: 'I am going to discredit all of the institutions or any of the voices that may in any way harm my movement. I'm going to make sure that editorial authority is seen as elitism. I am going to exercise authoritarian control over my message machine,'" Stewart stated. "And that's, I think, the genius of that movement."

"Liberals and Democrats and Leftists have got to understand that you are not on some ridiculous even playing field," Hasan chimed in. "I've been hearing this since Donald Trump came down the escalator in 2015: 'Just because they don't play by the rules doesn't mean we shouldn't.' No that's exactly what it means!"

The Daily Show trolled Joe Rogan with a humorous seven-minute recap of his expansive career. Their recurring "The Daily Showography" segment detailed how the UFC commentator reached "Roganlightenment" to become "a new thinker" who can "grapple with the mysteries of our universe."

The segment centered around clips of Rogan, who often explores conspiracy theories, asking absurd questions and making bold assertions. "Everything has a consciousness — literally everything — even tables," he says at one point. "What's freakier, being in the bottom of the ocean or being up in space?" he asks at another.

A narrator goes on to mock Rogan while comparing him to well-known philosophers.

"With work that asks important questions like, 'Wouldn't it be crazy if a wolf wore a fedora?' he could have been the next Michelangelo, but his interests pulled him elsewhere," the narrator says.

The segment also mocks Rogan for having a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, sharing a clip of him saying that his fighting method is to "smush" people. "Smush on, smush off, Joseph-san," the narrator says over imagery from The Karate Kid.

Along with being a UFC commentator, Rogan also spent a number of years hosting Fear Factor, where contestants were often forced to consume insects and participate in terrifying stunts.

"Fear Factor pushed Rogan to his limits, while Rogan pushed NBC lawyers to theirs," the narrator says while sharing video of Rogan pushing contestants to drink urine.

The Daily Show brought their point home midway through the clip, snarking, "The most fundamental truth about the modern world was finally within [Rogan's] grasp: that a man may speak forever without knowing things, as long as he has a podcast."
