Hollywood actress and model Sydney Sweeney has unintentionally done what many conservatives dream of—she’s triggered the radical left by simply starring in a jeans commercial.
Sweeney’s latest collaboration with American Eagle is a lighthearted, flirty campaign playing on the pun between “jeans” and “genes.” The ad series features the blonde bombshell slipping into a pair of denim jeans, working on a Mustang, and delivering a cheeky line: *“Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.”*
Cute? Clever? Apparently not if you’re a perpetually offended leftist on X (formerly Twitter), where the online mob erupted into full-blown hysteria—accusing the ad of promoting *eugenics* and *white supremacy*.
Yes, seriously.
One especially unhinged user wrote, *“I didn’t know what everyone was freaking out about with that Sydney Sweeney ad but then I realised I should watch it with the sound on and OH MY GOD. Yeah that’s some f*cked Aryan eugenics sh*t.”*
Another pearl-clutcher added, *“Maybe I’m too f*cking woke. But getting a blue-eyed, blonde, white woman and focusing your campaign around her having perfect genetics feels weird, especially considering the current state of America.”\*
And just like that, a fun pun about denim turned into a full-blown cultural crisis—for the left, anyway.
One more enraged user chimed in with a gem of their own: *“I hate the Sydney Sweeney jeans ad, it’s like why are we promoting eugenics with the state of this country rn, NO I don’t want your genes actually. F*ck you American Eagle.”\*
In classic form, the radical left once again revealed that they can’t tell the difference between clever marketing and fascist propaganda. Their obsession with race, identity, and imagined microaggressions has left them incapable of processing humor, especially when it comes from a beautiful, successful, and unapologetically feminine woman who doesn’t play by their rules.
Of course, conservatives weren’t about to let the left’s meltdown slide without some mockery.
Megyn Kelly took aim at the absurdity on her show, noting the laughable reach required to interpret the ad as anything more than what it clearly is: a playful nod to Sweeney’s all-American looks and her fit figure.
“She’s being called a white supremacist by people who don’t like her latest ad, which is for American Eagle,” Kelly said. “She’s advertising jeans, and yet the lunatics on the left think she’s advertising white supremacy.”
Kelly nailed it: “This is obviously a reference to her body and not to her skin color, but the lunatic left is going to do what the lunatic left is going to do.”
She concluded with a devastating truth bomb: *“They’re upset because it’s about who gets to be the face of America’s Best Genes. They think it’s no accident that they’ve chosen a white, thin woman because you’re, I guess, not allowed to celebrate those things in any way, shape, or form. But they’re completely ignoring the reference to her body, which is the thing she’s famous for. It’s just absurd.”*
And that’s exactly it. Sydney Sweeney wasn’t pushing some far-right ideology—she was promoting jeans with a wink and a smile. But in 2025, that’s apparently enough to launch a thousand think pieces from keyboard activists who view everything through the lens of race and oppression.
In reality, American Eagle’s ad celebrates confidence, beauty, and good old-fashioned marketing wit—things the radical left used to understand before they traded joy for grievance.
In short? Sydney Sweeney has great jeans—and the left has lost their minds.
