Social media, as always, acts as both the battleground and the amplifier of this controversy. A television ad featuring Sweeney is circulating, showcasing her shooting guns and driving a V8 Mustang—images that align with traditional American masculinity and independence.

This defiance is resonating with her supporters, illustrating a shift in celebrity culture where silence can be a form of protest or identification.
