GMA had the GOOFIEST Response to Sydney Sweeney Ad 'Controversy'

Just when you thought Sydney Sweeney American Eagle "genes" ad controversy couldn't get any more ridiculous...

Enter Good Morning America.

To get caught up, American Eagle's recent “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” ad campaign presents the actress in sexy poses, like every women's jean ad since Brooke Shields in the 1980s and even before.

What's "controversial" is the interchanged use of the word "genes" and "jeans." Most normal people would agree that the young and talented actress is beautiful and healthy, hence the play on words. As a marketing tool. Advertising 101.

That's all this is. Not hard to understand at all.

Unless you're a Leftist, apparently.

Some on the woke Left believe that American Eagle is promoting Nazism and white supremacy.

Seriously. I'm not kidding. MSNBC even published a column arguing that the ads show “an unbridled cultural shift toward whiteness.”

Not to be outdone, Good Morning America weighed in Tuesday morning.

The program showed a segment on the Sweeney ad that included the actress striking through the word “genes” and replacing it with “jeans.”

Co-host Rhiannon Ally said, “The play on words is being compared to Nazi propaganda with racial undertones."

Maybe by some goof on TikTok. But now ABC News and it's hallmark, longtime morning show was about to do the same thing.

Kean University professor Robin Landa informed viewers that, "The pun ‘good jeans’ activates troubling historical associations for this country. The American eugenics movement, in its prime between 1900 and 1940, weaponized the idea of good genes just to justify White supremacism."

How mentally ill does one have to be to derive that from this jeans ad?

Really? They expect viewers to take this - and them - seriously?

As with MSNBC, ABC News was not the only establishment media to run with this absurd narrative.

Legacy media does not have power they once did. Nobody is falling for this. They're laughing.

That doesn't mean media gatekeepers won't keep trying.
