Part 4/8:
Sweeney's response was straightforward: she refused to engage with the fabricated narrative. She simply stated, "The ad spoke for itself," and emphasized her love for jeans — "Jeans are uncontroversial, they're great." When pressed further about the political implications or Trump's reaction to her ad, she maintained her stance of neutrality, indicating she didn't want to be pulled into divisive discourse.
Her non-reactive posture was a stark contrast to the awkward prosecutorial tone of the interviewer, who seemed intent on twisting her words. Rather than falling into the trap of virtue signaling or offering a forced apology, Sweeney stood her ground, asserting her independence from the manufactured outrage.
