Sydney Sweeney was featured in an ad that triggered the woke brigade (Gareth Cattermole\/Getty Images for IMDb)<\/strong><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One does not need to be a marketing major to know that appealing to as much of the audience as possible is a good idea. In the United States, the majority of the population is Caucasian. Thus, it makes sense to feature Caucasians in the advertisement so that most of the audience could identify with what is being sold. In this case, Sydney Sweeney being featured in a jeans advertisement. It did not take long for the woke brigade to kick into high gear. The “great minds” of TikTok were quick to criticize the move as “NAZI” or “Fascist” in nature. Steven Cheung, a member of the Trump administration, fired back at the criticism.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Steven Cheung, President Donald Trump’s communications director, reposted an MSNBC headline claiming Sweeney’s ad promoted racial superiority in the form of genetic “whiteness” — and wrecked it in a caption.<\/p>\n

“Cancel culture run amok,” Cheung said.<\/p>\n

“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 bulls—.”<\/p>\n

While some TikTokers simply noted the ad’s multiple similarities to a 1980 Calvin Klein ad featuring then-child-model Brooke Shields — others lambasted Sweeney’s version as a sinister nod to eugenics; citing how “great genes” and “great jeans” are homophones.<\/p>\n

TikTokkers, compiled by the New York Post, lambasted the ad as “Nazi propaganda” and “fascist-weird.”<\/p>\n

Activist Zellie Imani, whose X profile includes the phrase “All Black Everything,” called the ad a “love letter to White nationalism and eugenic fantasies, and Sydney Sweeney knew it.”<\/p>\n

Those types of responses drew their own incredulous comment from Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas:<\/p>\n

“Wow. Now the crazy Left has come out against beautiful women — I’m sure that will poll well,” Cruz said on X.<\/p>\n

First son Donald Trump Jr. took to Instagram to troll critics as well.<\/p>\n

Trump Jr. posted an artificially-generated image of his father in the ad instead of Sweeney and paraphrased Owen Wilson’s fashion-designer-character catchphrase from the Ben Stiller film “Zoolander.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
