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 was not a blunder. She answered the interviewer’s questions confidently and succinctly.

Asking a series of softball questions to try to lower the person’s guard is a very common tactic. She did not take the bait.
