The internet is utterly appalled after the White House fiercely defended Sydney Sweeney’s new controversial American Eagle ad. White House communications director Steven Cheung weighed in on the actresses’ new campaign for the clothing brand Tuesday on X, sparking a wave of backlash from social media users.

Trump added on Truth Social: “Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are “flying of the shelves.” Go get ‘em Sydney.”

My jeans are blue.” Some critics blasted the commercial claiming it encouraged white supremacy and eugenics, the discredited theory that humans can be improved through selective breeding of populations.
