11:23 AM PT — The general manager of Weir Canyon Honda — which owns the vandalized billboard — tells TMZ the display has been taken down.
Members of the Proud Boys are all in on Sydney Sweeney‘s controversial American Eagle ad, at least according to a vandalized billboard near the City of Angels … and it’s not because of her jeans — it’s about her genes.
A billboard along an L.A.-area freeway was spotted this week with a banner that reads … “Proud Boys love Sydney Sweeney. She has the best blue genes.”
It’s unclear when the banner was put up in Corona, about 40 miles east of L.A., or who exactly is behind it … but one local resident tells KABC-TV it makes them feel “angry, scared, disappointed.”
Of course, this all has to do with American Eagle’s controversial “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” campaign, which has taken a life of its own … with critics arguing the campaign is filled with implicit racism.

The topic has even made its way to the White House — with President Trump throwing his full support behind Sweeney, especially after learning she’s a registered Republican.
While the clothing company insists the campaign, “is and always was about the jeans,” … it seems groups like this vandal is twisting it into something critics of the ad have feared from the start.
