White House slams outrage over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ads, calls it 'big reason' Americans voted for Trump

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."

The Sweeney haters should take solace in the fact that AE jeans are made in Mexico, Vietnam and China. So they are most likely being made by child slave labor.

Cheung is right and said it beaufully We're talking about an ad - it's a 'culture' discussion. You're coming across like a creepy democrat... and you don't want to do that...

Not to be a downer, but I thought conservatives were for proper morals, traditional values, and modesty.

I don’t want to see anyone’s derrière on a commercial.

Yeah, I know…she’s not a tranny.

Still, the Commandments don’t have a carve-out.

I LOVE all the smart, honest and plain-spoken people on President Trump's team. Steven Cheung and Stephen Miller are real standouts!

Mekishana "Jumanji" Pierre thinks it was a "denim disaster".

You can take the akata out of the cotton field, but you can't take the cotton out from between her ears.

Why isn’t anyone saying it? The “great genes/jeans” they’re referring to are the genes that provided her FAMOUS RACK, that she LOVES to display, bless her heart.
