Megyn Kelly responds to the uproar from the political left over American Eagle Outfitters’ ad campaign starring model Sydney Sweeney. “The Sydney Sweeney ad and the fact that it was done, the fact that it’s so successful and it’s driving up sales is yet another declaration that the era of woke is dead. It’s over. It officially died in November of twenty twenty four. And now you are just getting your fingers on the pulse and realizing it’s no longer beating wokesters. Come on over back to normalcy,” Kelly said.

MEGYN KELLY: I have to say good for American Eagle for doing it… I have to tie it to what happened in November of 2024. Trump won, and it was the end of the fever swaMp we were in. It was the end. It was like the unofficial, or maybe the official, end of all that nonsense, which has been dwindling ever since and will continue to dwindle. But it was the American people, in part, saying we’re done with that bullshit. We’re not doing it anymore. And in some ways too, it was the return of people being attractive. You know, the magazine cover on New York Magazine that tried to shame the MAGA Republicans and it was all these young beauties, all these gorgeous young women and gorgeous young men, like leaning into looking good and dressing well and celebrating their youth and their virality, like fucking – yes, we’re not gonna be shamed out of that stuff anymore…. You know, it’s like I’m just I’m over it. Like Bridgerton, all the white royalty had to be made into people of color. It’s like this is and by the way, you can never satisfy the mob because the mob didn’t didn’t like what they did in Bridgerton because I actually wrote this down because they complained that notwithstanding the fact that they made black actors play traditionally actual white historical characters, it still centers around a, quote, primarily white narrative. Well, it’s about white people who existed. So yeah, whatever happened in their lives, I guess by definition will be a white narrative. What are we supposed to do? Like, how are we supposed to change it? I hesitate to even think to satisfy that we now we have to make the white people story a black narrative. It’s just ridiculous. So the Sydney Sweeney ad and the fact that it was done, the fact that it’s so successful and it’s driving up sales is yet another declaration that the era of woke is dead. It’s over. It officially died in November of twenty twenty four. And now you are just getting your fingers on the pulse and realizing it’s no longer beating wokesters. Come on over back to normalcy.
