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."

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

The rest of society does not conform to your sentiments. Just as well give it up.

Derrière? All I noticed was the first part where it didn’t appear she was wearing a bra. They were about a quarter of the way out.

the genes that provided her FAMOUS RACK

The majority of that was probably environmental rather than genetic. You can tell if a Chinese woman grew up in China, or in America eating McDonald's, by the size of her naturals.

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

Some here say they don't understand your thinking.

They should consider the words of General Robert E. Lee: “I like whiskey. I always did, and that is why I never drink it.”

People are much better off when they guard what goes into their eye gate; especially when someone tries to sell you ideations that can harm you.

If you are now on the opposite end of the political spectrum... You are now a contrarian !

See how easy they slipped that in.
Why, you’d hardly notice it if you weren’t paying attention.

Pay attention!!!

Thanks for your input.

Here’s the deal.

St. Thomas Aquinas wrote “an effeminate man is one who withdraws from good on account of sorrow caused by lack of pleasure, yielding as it were to a weak motion.” More at https://www.newadvent.org/summa/3138.htm.

As such, a big part of eschewing the feminization promoted by the left and Hollywood and the media, is self-control. The left has none of that…pronouns, puberty blockers, rioting…everything goes for them. They are feminized, every one of them.

A big part of masculinity, therefore, is tempering the emotions. “Don’t act like a girl” men used to say in order to correct fem behavior. “Act like a man.”

With regard to commercials, and walking down the street, or going to the beach or pool, the man must have custody of his eyes. He must have control of his emotions and a commitment to reason.

In this proper, moral, truly conservative context, it is the effeminate male who’ll ogle at Ms Sweeney’s commercials. Even if he voted for Trump and comments on FR, this fembot has an unwillingness to put aside his pleasure in order to pursue what is arduous.

Now, I totally get the impulse to celebrate these commercials. Any commercial that rejects the woke idiocracy of transsexuals on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition is an enemy of my enemy. Fair enough.

But I didn’t set the rules: “everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Real Men will retain custody of their eyes at the risk of being unpopular.

Hence, don’t look. Society is going to do what society does. We, however, do t have to.

She’s pretty, but atleast a dozen girls in my high school class of 1977 were as nice or better.

Someone should bring back the old Noxzema ads with Farah Fawcett.....Ms. Sweeney’s ads are tame. And all of the church ladies out there can park it - most of us are capable of admiring a beautiful young woman without “lusting in our hearts”. Anyone who can’t has the same problem that forces Muslim men to wrap their women in baggies.

“Denim disaster” is some high-powered poisonous propaganda by Yahoo News.
