American Eagle sparked a firestorm online late last month when the clothing company released a commercial featuring Sweeney, an actress known for her roles on Euphoria and The White Lotus.

"Jews were massacred and murdered, and they equate that to a blue jeans ad for a Hollywood actress?" he said of the response to the campaign. "What an insult."

Despite backlash against American Eagle's 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' ad, it shows a shift to traditional, sales-focused advertising and a move to the middle.
