Ted Cruz made an unreciprocated show of affection for Sydney Sweeney Wednesday in the form of a quite opinionated “fact check.” The Texas senator and married father of two—who was called “thirsty” by California congressman Eric Swalwell for an earlier post about the “beautiful” 27-year-old Euphoria actress—commented on Sweeney’s appearance while slamming liberals.

Donald Trump Jr. also poked fun at the ad by photoshopping his father into the denim outfit in place of Sweeney. He captioned the post “Hanse-Um, Donald is so hot right now.” Despite the controversy, American Eagle’s stock ended up jumping ten percent, with the company taking in over $400 million.
