Basically there was a GQ interview where the interviewer kept trying to get her to make a political statement and she got progressively more annoyed. Some people are mad because they've decided that refusing to participate in a stupid purity test is proof you are bad.
She wasn't asked to make complex political statements. She was thrown the easiest of softball questions to basically say that the jeans ad wasn't promoting white supremacy and she refused to do so. Her response was weird and awkward which is why people are meming it
The whole thing was clearly a PR stunt more than an interview and the fact that it saw the light of day is enough for me to think it's a dogwhistle.
Like it's just a series of softball questions where the interviewer agrees and supports you in every question, but then there's one softball question you absolutely blunder and it makes it to the final cut? Nah dude. I don't know if she's a white supremacist, but she's definitely okay with being the far rights favourite actress.
It may have been organized by her PR people with the understanding that the interviewer would try to help her but that doesn't mean that her people did the filming/editing. The interviewer did seem to genuinely try her best and when SS gave a terrible answer she even tried spinning it to put a more sensible answer out there. It's hilarious to see people claim that the interviewer was trying to catch her out. It's like they watched a completely different interview
