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.

The White House communications director said outrage over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad was a "big reason Americans" voted for Trump.

The ad, or more accurately series of ads, are built around the tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans” — a play on words that conflates American Eagle denim with the genetic traits that gave Sweeney her famously voluptuous figure. Some of the spots are more direct, specifically talking about her genetic background.
