Vice President JD Vance recently shared his thoughts on the backlash surrounding an American Eagle ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. The ad, which showcases Sweeney with the tagline “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,” has sparked a heated debate online. Some critics have even claimed the ad promotes harmful ideologies.
During a discussion on the “Ruthless” podcast, Vance addressed the uproar, pointing out the absurdity of the situation. He noted that some people are labeling those who find Sweeney attractive as Nazis, which he found ridiculous. Vance joked, “My political advice to Democrats is continue to tell everyone who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi.”
He expressed disbelief at how Democrats have reacted to a simple jeans advertisement featuring an “All-American beautiful girl.” According to Vance, the ad is just a marketing effort aimed at selling jeans to young Americans, yet it has led to a significant overreaction from some quarters.
Vance further criticized the Democrats for what he sees as a misguided strategy. He suggested that after the 2024 election, one might expect them to tone down their rhetoric. Instead, he feels they have doubled down on labeling people as extremists for simply appreciating Sweeney’s beauty.
As the podcast hosts laughed, Vance concluded with a sarcastic remark about the Democrats’ approach: “Great strategy, guys. That’s how you’re gonna win the midterms. Especially young American men.”
This incident highlights the ongoing cultural tensions in America, where even a fashion campaign can ignite fierce debates about beauty standards and political correctness.
