Right-wing pundit Candace Owens recently expressed outrage that Disney cartoon character Minnie Mouse would dare wear a pantsuit.

It threatens the very fabrics of our society! she complained on Fox News Wednesday after learning about Minnies planned scandalous attire.

The racy rodent is set to temporarily sport a new pantsuit designed by Stella McCartney which will be worn by a performer in a Minnie Mouse costume in March at Disneyland Paris to mark the parks 30th anniversary and in recognition of Womens History Month.

Owens slammed the chaos of such a move on Jesse Watters Primetime, insisting its a disturbing, planned distraction from more serious issues, which threatens to rend asunder Western culture.

Theyre taking all of these things that nobody was offended by, and feel they have to get rid of them and destroy them, Owens raged.

Because they are bored, they are absolutely bored, they are trying to destroy fabrics of our society, pretending that theres issues. This is so everybody looks over here, look at Minnie Mouse, dont look at inflation, Jesse. Look at Minnie Mouse, the world is going forward because we have got her in a pantsuit. Never mind that we cant go to the grocery store and buy a piece of bacon unless youve got $30 in your pocket.

Minnie first appeared on-screen nearly a century ago, and typically wears a red and white polka dot dress, which is hardly a la mode.

Fox has been hung up on female cartoon characters lately. Host Tucker Carlson complained last week that the recently revamped female M&M characters were a turnoff. Before you know it, you wouldnt want to have a drink with any one of them, he whined. The brown M&M has quote transitioned from high stilettos to lower block heels also less sexy.

Later on The View, co-host Ana Navarro quipped: If you want to have a drink with an 81-year-old candy , youve got much bigger issues than what [shoes] that candy is wearing.

There was also plenty of pushback on Owens.
