Kristy Swanson, who originated the role of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the 1992 film, has made no secret of her distaste for liberals and support of Brett Kavanaugh.
While a plethora of celebritiesAlyssa Milano, George Clooney, and Danny DeVito, to name a fewhave made no secret of their support for Democrats and left-leaning political candidates, the right isnt without its Hollywood supporters either.
Most recently, its Kanye West whos 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.
Swansons Twitter and Instagram accounts are a minefield of far-right-informed political hot takesin 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.
Swansons 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 hatslampoon 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 hearingsa 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 Womens 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. Whats with the victim train? #WomenHaveItAll.
Since weve apparently achieved gender parity, Swanson sees no need for the false allegations against Kavanaugh. Tweets and retweets of hers frequently call into question Dr. Christine Blasey Fords credibility, and maintain that Kavanaugh is innocent. Swanson is a big fan of the hashtag #WomenForKavanaugh, and seems determined to use her platform as a washed-up celebrity turned right-wing supporter to draw attention to the Supreme Court nominees supposed innocence. He deserves to be treated fairly! she tweeted, adding, I do believe its very possible that something has happened to Dr. Ford at some point of her life, and if thats true, I do feel for her. I do believe without question Kavanaugh is a victim of False Allegations & had Nothing to do with her assault. I pray for them both. Swanson seems to think that false rape accusations are a pervasive and dangerous threat to societynot, you know, toxic masculinity or rape culture or anything like that.
For those wondering if Swansons far-right tendencies were a relatively new thing, think again. In response to a tweet earlier this summer accusing her of riding the far-right wave for another fifteen minutes of fame, Swanson replied, Ive actually been a conservative all my life. I was raised that way. Since the 70s. I was on the Trump train before he ran for office.
And as recently as yesterday, Swanson reaffirmed her political leanings were hardly a trend. Ive been MAGA since 1969
I was born this way, she tweeted, complete with kissy face and American flag emojis.
Another celeb on the right. I follow her. While she hasn't quite risen to the James Woods level of s**tposting, she's working on it.

I’m shocked!
I didn’t know this. Wow!
“Ive been MAGA since 1969”
:)
Wow, cool to see shes my age, too. Coming of age in the Reagan era didnt hurt.
Looks damn good at nearly 49 years old
“Thank you, Simone!”
She needs to bring that wooden stake to Washington ... plenty of vampires there.
This is a poorly written and punctuated headline that the blog wrote.
And speaking of James Woods, where can he be found these days?
MANABOWABA!
What a woman!!
“far-right”
cool
Gorgeous Gal. smart too
Kristy Swanson is a wonderful actress, a great gal, a courageous American and a good friend.
Love her.
Haha - I checked out her Twitter page - she reposted a vid of Hillary ranting and the comment “Let’s have a discussion about temperament, shall we?”
Swanson is much saner than all those twits this smear piece listed (Millano - pretty but an airhead, Luny Clooney, and DeVito (sorry to see him in with this bunch of Coconuts).
Glad someone in Hollywood has the balls to stand up and say “ENOUGH”.
As I once said about Sara Michelle Gellar (the TV Buffy), she can “bite me” any time.
