America has been turned upside down by an American Eagle jeans ad. A single campaign, starring Sydney Sweeney, has provoked an extended conversation about race, beauty, politics, Donald Trump, and sexuality.

Vice President J.D. Vance reacted on the "Ruthless" podcast to left-wing outrage over a new American Eagle Outfitters ad featuring model Sydney Sweeney. VICE PRESIDENT J.D. VANCE: My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi.

Other ads feature Sweeney replacing the word genes with jeans out on the street or daring the viewer to “ try these jeans .” The idea is basically that Sweeney — a conventionally good-looking person — is the result of strong genetics and possibly also inherited blue jeans.
