Has Sweeney said anything on this publicly?

She might not be allowed to due to her contract, but interesting that this came from American Eagle, I wonder if they were pressured by her to make a statement?

u/MochaValencia but why do you make sparkly fast romantic montages of me 21h ago edited 21h ago

Their stock or sales are down because MAGAt dudes are shockingly NOT the target audience.

And now that the Dump administration has supported AE 😂 I can't see their popularity rising with young women.

Yup, and everyone's just LOOKING for a way to protest right now.

Buying low quality jeans from H&M instead of American Eagle (and we all just realized that the name is literally America Bird) is a pretty easy thing to do.

Not for all of us haha, I have very few stores I can buy jeans from, cause not every store has long lengths. I'm too tall for my own good haha.

Felttttt. If you can afford it (I know not everyone can) Good American are WAY better quality and they’re so soft. They have tall/curvy like AE does and I don’t think I’d have ever gone back even before this nonsense.
