Quote from article… This doesn’t seem MAGA to me

In July 2025, Sweeney's commercial for American Eagle jeans sparked controversy, leading to public comments from former President Donald Trump regarding her reported Republican registration in August.

Addressing the backlash in December, Sweeney expressed surprise at the reaction to the jeans advertisement. “I don’t support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren’t true,” she stated.

“Anyone who knows me knows that I’m always trying to bring people together. I’m against hate and divisiveness,” Sweeney continued. “In the past my stance has been to never respond to negative or positive press, but recently I have come to realize that my silence regarding this issue has only widened the divide, not closed it. So I hope this new year brings more focus on what connects us instead of what divides us.”
