The controversy began when McLean engaged with a hateful post that criticized Kirk. She didn’t make any comment or share the post but just put a like. A person named Jon Root first discovered her social media activity against Kirk and shared it on X with an angry response.
Screenshots of her interaction quickly spread across X, Facebook, and Instagram right after that, and Cowboys supporters started their rally by demanding consequences. They viewed McLean’s activity as inappropriate behavior from someone associated with America’s Team.
