Sean Duffy Blasted After Comments on Sydney Sweeney's Body

Jeff Kowalsky / Reuters Transport Secretary Sean Duffy has been blasted over resurfaced footage of him thirsting over a young Hollywood star’s breasts in front of his wife.

Duffy, 54, has been roasted after a March 2024 episode of the podcast From the Kitchen Table: The Duffys gained traction online.

Duffy filmed the episode with his wife, Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy, also 54.

It was titled “Can Sydney Sweeney Save America From Going Woke?” At the time, Euphoria star Sweeney, who is now 28, had just hosted Saturday Night Live , and made fun of her sexualized image in her opening monologue , noting “I feel like people only see me as the girl on TV who screams, cries and has sex.

Sometimes it’s all three at the same time.” She also joked that her backup plan to break Hollywood was to “show boobs,” and took part in a sketch about a possible movie based on restaurant chain Hooters.

After her SNL performance, right-wing pundit Richard Hanania published an essay titled “Yes, Sydney Sweeney’s Boobs Are Anti-Woke.” The Duffys’ episode dropped on March 23, 2024, in which the future MAGA goon, seated next to his wife, teased viewers, “I’m gonna give you my take on Sydney Sweeney’s breasts.” Duffy said his wife had raised the topic of Sweeney’s “boobs” and “wokeness” to discuss as part of their kitchen table conversation, which was shared on Tuesday by the FactPost X account.

Duffy said, “If we’re honest, men appreciate women, and men that appreciate women are not toxic.” He added, “God made us a certain way to appreciate and want to mate with a woman, and women are made the same way to want to be with a man and, um, I think Sydney Sweeney is just a reminder that men are still men.

I’m sorry, we are.” Campos-Duffy laughed and added, “And women are still women,” before he repeated her line, adding “And that’s OK.” The father-of-nine then added, “Sydney Sweeney’s boobs make us want to reproduce,” while his wife laughed.

He added, “Sydney Sweeney’s boobs are gonna save America.” The comments were called out on Tuesday, with independent journalist Karly Kingsley calling Duffy a “f---ing creep,” while reporter Alex Cole said , “Nothing screams traditional Christian values like publicly discussing a woman’s chest and then bringing God into the explanation.” The episode originally aired on Fox Nation, Fox News’ on-demand streaming service, which promised that the Duffys would discuss “how Sweeney’s appearance is making many Americans remember how different men and women are in a society full of ‘gender fluidity’.” The Daily Beast contacted the Transportation Department, the White House, and Sweeney’s reps for comment.
