Iconic Brand Refuses To Surrender To Liberal Critics, Snaps Back After Ad Is Labeled ‘Fascist’

Popular clothing brand American Eagle released their first statement following the controversy over new ads featuring Hollywood “it” girl Sydney Sweeney. The company has decided not to back down from the woke mob, backing Sweeney and standing by their advertisements.

The ads, which include viral commercials, caught so much backlash due to their tagline: “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” Several different plays on the tagline, including “great genes,” have led to shouts of racism and Nazism from mostly liberal critics.

Others claim that the ads glorify the “Euphoria” actress’s white heritage and slim body type.

“‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story,” American Eagle said in a statement posted on social media. “We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.”

So much backlash was generated by the ad campaign that White House communications manager Steven Cheung weighed in on the controversy, saying the ordeal is a prime example of “cancel culture run amok.”

“This warped, moronic and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024,” Cheung said. “They’re tired of this bulls***.”

Even Vice President JD Vance mocked critics of the ad over the hysteria they have created during an episode of the “Ruthless” podcast.

“My political advice to the Democrats is to continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi. That appears to be their actual strategy,” he zinged.

Vance added, “I mean, it actually reveals something pretty interesting about the Dems, though, which is that you have, like, a normal all-American beautiful girl doing like a normal jeans ad, right? They’re trying to sell, you know, sell jeans to kids in America and they have managed to so unhinge themselves over this thing. And it’s like, you guys, did you learn nothing from the November 2024 election? I actually thought that one of the lessons [Democrats] might take is we’re going to be less crazy. And the lesson they have apparently taken is we’re going to attack people as Nazis for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful.”

Late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert, an outspoken critic of President Trump, referred to the backlash against Sweeney and American Eagle as being blown out of proportion.

“Now, some people look at [the ads] and they’re seeing something sinister, saying that the genes-jeans denim wordplay in an ad featuring a white blond woman means American Eagle could be promoting eugenics, white supremacy and Nazi propaganda,” Colbert explained this week on “The Late Show.” “That might be a bit of an overreaction.”

Sweeney herself has not come out and addressed the outcry against the ad campaign.
