Sydney Sweeney’s Controversy

Matt Gagnon discusses Sydney Sweeney’s recent controversy, highlighting her voter registration as a Republican in Florida in 2024 and her skills demonstrated in videos, such as shooting and working on a car. He criticizes BuzzFeed for accessing her voter registration, suggesting it undermines claims of the secrecy of such data. Gagnon expresses satisfaction with American Eagle’s refusal to apologize for their ads featuring Sweeney, despite backlash, and criticizes corporations for previously caving to cancel culture, arguing that such apologies empower the mob. He celebrates the resilience of Sweeney and American Eagle in the face of attempts to cancel them.
