The White House Communications Director joined the voices of those plagued by rage over the American Eagle ad featuring Sydney Sweeney.
Stephen Chong, a longtime adviser to President Donald Trump and White House communications director, denounced the reaction to the controversial ads on “Cancel Culture Run Amok.”
“This distorted, moronic, dense, liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024,” he wrote on July 29th in response to XNBC Op-Ed. He added that people are “fed up with this,” and that they use blasphemy.
An ad campaign, created in a larger partnership between the “Euphoria” actress and the popular brand, described Sweeney, 27, who appears to have “Good Genes” in her jeans using WordPlay. Critics say the jeans campaign will be the dog whi for the glory of eugenics and whiteness.
In one of several videos from the Ad Blitz, Sweeney, dressed in a denim-on-denim outfit, said:
“My jeans are blue,” she says as the camera pans across blue denim and blue eyes.

Texas Republican Ted Cruz took X on July 29th and blasted the left to criticize the ad.
“Wow. Now there’s a crazy leftist coming out against a beautiful woman. That’s going to work…” he wrote.
Other notable numbers adding two cents include “Bachelor’s Degree” star Gabby Windy and even Doja cat who chuckled ads on Tiktok’s video.
