Americans are tuning out ‘hypersensitive woke' outrage over Sydney Sweeney ad
Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney reacts to US President Donald Trump defending Sydney Sweeney over her controversial American Eagle campaign. 'There's a couple of people who apparently think the ad promotes white supremacy and eugenics, which sort of gives you a sense of where we are in the country these days,' Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. 'Some really good commentary in this country in the last couple of days over how so few people are taking the bait over whether or not this is a racist ad or a racially based ad, and the general consensus is that no one cares. 'We're beyond this sort of hypersensitive woke time in the United States of America, maybe we're going back to the point where an ad about jeans is just an ad about jeans and not about politics.'

Left continues to push ‘hardcore' woke agenda about Colbert's show cancellation
Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney weighs in on the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's late-night show, attributing the decision solely to economic factors. 'It was a late-night television program in this country, it was fairly widely known, very popular, but losing a tremendous amount of money,' Mr Mulvaney told Sky News Australia. 'The left wants folks here to believe that this was politically motivated. The number I saw they were losing $US40 million a year. 'If that particular program had been cancelled because it had been offensive to Donald Trump, my guess is it would've been cancelled effective immediately, and it wasn't. 'These decisions were economic and not political. 'Does everything need to be political, or can things still be funny … maybe everything isn't driven by woke DEI?'
