Jodie Sweetin offered a rare public opinion on the political ideologies of her former Full House costar Candace Cameron Bure.
During the February 13 episode of the “Only Child With Bob the Drag Queen” podcast, host Bob the Drag Queen brought Bure, 49, up in conversation with Sweetin, 44.
“Candace has gone a little bit…” Bob, 39, said before trailing off as Sweetin, who initially starred as Bure’s onscreen sibling in the 1980s to 1990s sitcom before the pair reprised their roles in Netflix’s 2016 spinoff Fuller House, picked up his sentence.
“Candace does her thing and, you know, we sit on very opposite sides of things and I’m just, kind of, a loud outspoken bitch about a lot of things, and that’s not going to stop me and if that ain’t you, that ain’t you,” Sweetin said.

Bob also joked that “maybe Candace will play Karoline Leavitt” if the White House press secretary and Republican party member were ever portrayed by an actor, which drew an eye roll from Sweetin before she said, “Those lips though, those lips,” referring to online speculation about Leavitt’s puffier appearance in recent months.
Sweetin is a vocal advocate for issues including the LGBTQIA+ community and reproductive freedom while Bure holds conservative ideologies due to her devout Christian faith.
In December 2025, Sweetin, who played Stefanie Tanner on Full House opposite Bure’s DJ Tanner, spoke out in support of her former costar’s faith. “She was the closest thing I had to a sister. We fought like sisters, even when we were kids, that’s the relationship we had,” Sweetin said on the December 16 episode of “The Moment” podcast. “Candace’s faith, to be quite honest, has always been at the forefront for her, and I have zero problem with that.”

She expanded at the time, “I have no problem with religion if it brings you peace and happiness, not necessarily saying that her brand of religion is peace and happiness. I don’t really know. I do know that I don’t think you can truly love people if you don’t respect them.”
That same month, Bure exclusively spoke to Us Weekly about why she has evolved to choosing film roles rooted in religion. “Sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ truly is the most important thing in my life, and I get to share this in creative ways as a woman of faith in the entertainment industry,” she said at the time.
On another podcast, recorded about five months prior to Sweetin’s “The Moment” interview, Sweetin detailed why she has proven vocal about her own beliefs over the years. “It’s not even that I, like, choose anything. It’s just who I am,” she said on the June 15 episode of the “Between Us” podcast. “It’s who I’ve always been. I had a lot of friends in high school who reminded me of stories, where I stepped in and fought for somebody [who] was being treated unjustly or unfairly.”
