“That appears to be their actual strategy”- JD Vance Claps Back at Sydney Sweeney Ad Backlash, Mocks “nazi” Accusations

Sydney Sweeney’s recent American Eagle campaign set off a cultural tremor, igniting a firestorm far beyond fashion. What began as a seemingly harmless denim showcase erupted into a full-blown battleground of opinion, dragging the Euphoria star into an unexpected war of aesthetics and ideology. Once praised for her range on screen, Sweeney suddenly became the target of online fury, dissected and debated like a symbol rather than a person. Amid the chaos, a new voice in Hollywood chose courage, publicly defending her when silence would have been safer.

When Sydney Sweeney’s jeans ad sparked internet chaos, J.D. Vance mocked the outrage like it was his favorite sport, turning denim drama into a political mic drop.

While speaking on the Ruthless podcast, Vice President J.D. Vance mocked Democrats for their reaction to Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans ad. He sarcastically suggested that their approach now involves calling anyone who thinks “Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi,” adding, “That appears to be their actual strategy.” Vance described Sweeney as a classic, all-American figure featured in a straightforward campaign aimed at young consumers. He argued the backlash was unhinged and proof that Democrats learned nothing from the 2024 election.

J.D. Vance did not stop there. Continuing his takedown on the podcast, he said he had hoped Democrats would dial back the chaos after their 2024 loss. Instead, he claimed, they doubled down by targeting people as Nazis simply for thinking Sydney Sweeney is beautiful. He argued the outrage revealed more about the left’s disdain for traditional American culture than about the ad itself. Vance was not alone in Sweeney's defense, Piers Morgan’s tweet echoed the same sentiment.

Piers Morgan took to X to unleash his take on the Sydney Sweeney controversy, calling it a perfect example of the woke left’s growing absurdity. Slamming their reflexive reactions, he remarked, “They call everyone a Nazi or white supremacist, even when she’s obviously neither.” Morgan claimed the backlash was not about politics, but about a deep resentment toward beauty, confidence, and femininity. In his view, the outrage has become so irrational that it is now dismantling the very movement that created it.

Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign was more than a denim drop, it was a bold play during a shaky retail season. With designs like the butterfly-covered “Sydney Jean,” fans speculated that the inspiration drew from iconic Calvin Klein ads of the past. But as the campaign gained attention, so did the backlash. Sweeney quickly became a lightning rod for criticism. Still, with support from names like J.D. Vance and Piers Morgan, she remains unstoppable, and Hollywood’s latest sensation.
