American Eagle defends Sydney Sweeney ads in the midst of liberal recoil
American Eagle is in its controversial advertising campaign with Sydney Sweeney, which includes various commercials with the slogan: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.” The campaign creates a play on ‘great genes’, which ignored indignation online about the American eagle who glorifies the white heritage and the thin physique of the Emmy -nominated. Some users on social media even compared the advertisements with ‘Nazi propaganda’.
“” Sydney Sweeney has great jeans “is and was always about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story,” the company said in a statement on social media. “We will continue to celebrate how everyone wears his AE jeans with confidence, in their way. Great jeans look good for everyone.”
Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign caused so much chatter online that even Trump’s White House weighed on the play, where communication manager Steven Cheung called the recoil a good example of “Culture Run Amok Cancel”.
“This warped, idiotic and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted as they did in 2024,” Cheung added. “They are tired of this nonsense.”
VICE President JD Vance also mocks liberals for creating a hysteria around the American Eagle campaign and said in an episode of the “Ruthless” podcast: “My political advice to the Democrats continues to tell everyone who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi. That seems to be their real strategy.”
Vance continued: “I mean, it actually reveals something interesting about the DEMs, namely that you have a normal all-American beautiful girl who does a normal jeans advertisement, right? They try to sell, you know, sell jeans to children in America and they have managed to reclaim themselves. [Democrats] We may take that we are going less crazy. And the lesson they apparently have taken is that we attack people like Nazis for thinking that Sydney Sweeney is beautiful. ”
Even Stephen Colbert, who often speaks out against Trump and the White House, called the recoil against Sweeney and American Eagle exaggerated.
“Now some people look at [the ads] And they see something sinister and say that the Genen-Jeans denim word player in an advertisement with a white blonde woman means that American Eagle Eugenica, White Supremation and Nazi propaganda could promote, “Colbert said this week on” The Late Show. “” That may be a bit of an overreaction. “
SEENEY still has to give public comments on the protest about the advertisements.
