Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth couldn’t help but put his two cents in on the Sydney Sweeney jeans controversy.
In a perfect world, Hegseth wouldn’t have to make any post on the subject because people would not be outraged by a simple American Eagle advertisement. But alas, the world is not perfect and leftists have to be upset about something or their heads might explode.
The Department of Defense Rapid Response X account decided to have a laugh at the expense of the perpetually offended, posting a photo of Hegseth deboarding a plane in, you guessed it, a pair of jeans.
Look:

“[Hegseth] has great jeans,” the cheeky caption reads.
Haters quickly flocked to the post, eager to spread their anger across social media:
This is what it looks like when you’re desperate for a positive story about you for once

We don’t deserve posts this good.
But I’m glad we are getting them.

I would never have imagined that an administration would have this great a sense of humor.

As BizPac Review previously reported, the left’s anger over Sweeney only deepened after it was reported that she is a registered Republican in the state of Florida. Even President Donald Trump admitted he loves her ad now after learning of her political leanings.
“She’s a registered Republican?” Trump asked. “Oh, now I love her ad.”
“You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans,” he added before traveling back to Washington D.C from New Jersey. “That’s what I wouldn’t have known, but I’m glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”
‘All hot girls vote Republican!’ Trump, MAGA pile love on Sydney Sweeney after learning her party registration https://t.co/JZMbr0wNQH via @BIZPACReview
