US EditionTed Cruz Defends Sydney Sweeney, American Eagle 'Good Jeans' ad From 'Crazy Left'
NEW SOUTH WALES, AUSTRALIA, JUL 31 – Senator Ted Cruz and other conservatives criticized the Democratic Party amid backlash over Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad, which some viewers said implied white supremacist symbolism.
- Amid the controversy, Texas Republican Ted Cruz took to X on Tuesday to offer a snide, politically charged take on Sydney Sweeney's ad, criticizing critics' motives.
- The campaign's wordplay on 'genes' sparked controversy, with critics noting the use of 'Sydney Sweeny has great jeans' can evoke racist undertones, critics say.
- Critics on X reacted with 'This is so Hitler like what,' and Style Analytics warned the 'blue' pun evokes 'blue blood,' critics say.
- Doubling down, Cruz appeared on Fox News to defend the ad and argued the backlash shows how 'extreme' Democrats have become.
- Following the backlash, American Eagle plans a limited-edition Sydney jean to address criticism and promote awareness, with proceeds to a nonprofit crisis counseling service.
