No evidence actor Sydney Sweeney said she voted for Donald Trump

Actor Sydney Sweeney drew the attention of conservative commentators after appearing on "Saturday Night Live" in March, but claims that she said she voted for President-elect Donald Trump are unfounded. 

"Sydney Sweeney says she voted for Donald Trump," a screenshot of a Nov. 5 X post shared on Instagram said.

The Instagram post was flagged as part of Meta’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads.)

We found no evidence, such as news reports or public statements from Sweeney, that she said this — or made any endorsements in the presidential election. 

In 2022, Sweeney addressed speculation that she supported Trump after images from her mother’s 60th birthday party showed people wearing red hats that said "Make Sixty Great Again."

Kash Patel posted on X that “the FBI is gay.”

"You guys this is wild," she said in an August 2022 X post. "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."

In 2023, Variety reported that she said "the people in the pictures weren’t even my family."

"The people who brought the things that people were upset about were actually my mom’s friends from LA who have kids that are walking outside in the Pride parade, and they thought it would be funny to wear because they were coming to Idaho," she said.
