At least recognize the harm your genes campaign has caused black folk. The undertone of the campaign is that your genetics are superior to others. The play on words is clear as day. And racists loved it. So presuming you didn't know when you shot it, you certainly do now. And it matters. This ain't it. So, because the ad was celebrated by half the country who simply thinks differently than you, she needs to apologize. And you genuinely believe that half the country is made up of racists, people who believe in eugenics. I'm sorry. I actually think that most Republicans are against Planned Parenthood, and Planned Parenthood is one of your favorite things, and that was created because of a belief in eugenics. I think I made that comment when I was doing my initial video about this stupid outrage about the jeans campaign. But I think it's just as valid as it is today because this outrage genuinely is so absurd. Maybe Sydney Sweeney knows that the whole outrage campaign was totally overblown, that it was absurd, that it was a very loud, angry minority, and that she knows, obviously, that that was not the intent of the ad, and she is not going to feed into that nonsense like, guys, Alex, my husband is in advertising. I listen to these advertising calls all the time. As he's working on campaigns with different brands, he's freelancing with different. They spend months thinking through every single little piece of these advertising campaigns. They spend millions and millions of dollars. There is not a world in 2025 where a major brand is sitting down with their advertising counterparts. By the way, all the advertising companies are majorly left wing. They are not sitting down and going, let's do racism today. Let's really invoke, let's do racism. Let's do Nazi propaganda. No, that's not happening. That is not real in the 2025 advertising world. But that, of course, is not relevant to any of these people. They do not care about any of that because it's racism. And they are gonna talk about it, and they are going to cancel her for not apologizing. And, of course, her just not saying anything is not good enough because you have to feed into their delusions, feed into their accusations, or be destroyed. One person posted the clip of her not responding and said, she is seriously pissing me off. Can we make up a rumor about her pooping her pants like Haitlin Bennett? Okay, now we're really stooping low, Aren't We. Somebody else commented and said her refusal to acknowledge that is legit. Everything we need to hear. Any normal, decent person would want the opportunity to apologize and make a statement that they don't support white effing supremacy. Any normal, decent person would realize that this outrage is made up, would realize that this is so insane and far fetched and they honestly would have too much going on in their lives to care. Somebody else commented and said what is difficult to understand here, her parents are maga. She knew what she was doing while making the ad. She approves it. I guarantee she did not know what she was doing. Like, you're really telling me that she and American Eagle were like, yes, we are making a white supremacy genes ad. Please get a grip, people. That is basically the message of this episode. Get a grip. Moving on from their response, I will say Sydney Sweeney, she did give us a masterclass in pr, a masterclass in how to handle the press and people who are trying to back you into a corner. Because she did not apologize. She did not give that woman a single inch, no matter how much she was baited and continues to be baited on this same ridiculous issue. Because again, she's doing a ton of PR for this new movie. And in every interview they're like, super. So the jeans, how did you feel? And she's just like, yep, moving on. Like, my family and friends know where I stand. They know my values. That's all that matters. Everything else is noise. That's what she said in another interview. That was also not good enough. They're like, her claims of white supremacy are just noise. Yes, you are angry little minions that are screaming about something that is not real. It is noise. And Sydney, to her credit, once she made her statement, she never bent whether it was on this, whether it was the outrage over her bathwater ad or throwing a Make 60 Great Again birthday party for her mother where she was pictured singing, standing next to her uncle or family member in a thin, blue lined T shirt. The audacity. She hasn't apologized for anything. She just does what she wants. She keeps a level head, she moves forward, she lets people talk about her and she does her work. And it is so incredibly impressive. And honestly, the right could learn a lot from her right now. Like the fact that Sydney Sweeney has more balls than the president of the Heritage foundation is insane. The fact that he made a video and said, yeah, we're standing behind Tucker Carlson. We're not canceling him. He has the right to say whatever he wants, platform, whoever he wants. We believe in free speech. That's not an issue. Let's move forward. The fact that he bent on that statement and is now doing an apology tour, and yet Sydney Sweeney, after having millions and millions of people, her fan base, turn on her, is sitting there looking this interviewer directly in the eye and saying, nope, I am not feeding into it. Like the lesson here should be, say what you mean wholeheartedly. If you believe something, say it. Do not allow yourself to be bullied into silence, whether it is from the mob on the left or the right. There is your message for today.
