The great debate over Sydney Sweeney's recent denim disaster has a new participant: the White House.

White House communications director Steven Cheung took to social media on Tuesday to defend Sweeney's new campaign for the clothing brand American Eagle — which has sparked backlash and accusations of racism — and slam liberals' reaction to its ads.

"Cancel culture run amok," Cheung wrote of the negative response to the campaign, which included claims that the brand is glorifying a racial ideal during a fraught political time.

But Cheung took things a step farther, adding, "This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They're tired of this bull----."

The campaign in question, titled "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," is based on a seemingly harmless play on words for the 27-year-old star's "great genes." However, critics of the campaign have accused American Eagle of espousing eugenics ideology — which promotes white genetic superiority and which historically enabled the forced sterilization of marginalized groups — and baiting contrarians on the opposite end of the spectrum to blame it all on "wokeism."
