I think somebody's still pissed off that she isn't the most popular Buffy.
Ever notice that it's mostly these D-Listers who turn out to be frothing Teabagger Wingnuts? Kristy Swanson shares the company of such "stars" like Scott Baio, Tila Tequila, and Ted Nugent. Gag me.
Most recently, it’s Kanye West who’s been the most outspoken A-list supporter of Trump but Kristy Swanson, the actress famous for originating the role of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the eponymous 1992 film, seems poised to give West a run for his money in terms of passionate support for the right.
Swanson’s Twitter and Instagram accounts are a minefield of far-right-informed political hot takes—in a tweet from August 23, in the wake of the Mollie Tibbetts murder, she ponders, “Why do Liberals [sic] say calling someone an ‘Illegal Alien’ is racist and offensive?” In a previous tweet, Swanson wondered why people called her an “immigrant hater.”
A Twitter photo from a few days before her immigrant tweet shows Swanson proudly sporting a shirt with an image of an assault rifle on the front, the words “American Trigger Pullers” emblazoned underneath. And in an Instagram post from August, Swanson wears a shirt that says “Make America Not A Bunch of Whiny Bitches Again.” Her caption links back to the far-right apparel company American Trigger Pullers, who ostensibly designed her clever T-shirt.
Swanson’s cause célèbre, at least on social media, seems to be mocking the #MeToo movement, especially as it relates to politics. Memes posted on her Instagram— complete with cartoon characters wearing the ubiquitous pink pussy hats—lampoon the “not my president” logic of many feminist protests.
And Swanson frequently reposts or retweets actor turned far-right crusader James Woods. In one tweet of his that she posted to her Instagram, Woods bemoans the “#HowlingHarpies” continually disrupting the Kavanaugh hearings—a misogynistic epithet for feminist protestors, but one that Swanson seems glad is trending on Twitter.
Swanson mostly takes issue with the sexual-assault allegations currently being leveled at Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh by a number of women. She retweeted a protester present during the hearings, and asked “exactly what rights of ‘women’ would Kavanaugh be taking away?” if he was confirmed; meanwhile, a tweet from September 19 saw Swanson saying “Screw you, bitches” to the Women’s March Twitter page. In a tweet from August, Swanson stated, “Woman have ALL the power. We decide Everything, when to eat dinner, go to sleep, wake up, date, have sex, get married, when we will have babies, go to school, go to work & have careers, play sports, run for office & even for potus. What’s with the victim train? #WomenHaveItAll.”
