Although many Americans saw the re-election of President Donald Trump as the death knell of the left’s woke agenda, plenty of major corporations are still eagerly promoting it.
Most recently, Google found itself under fire from traditionalists who took exception to a new ad featuring TikTok personality Cyrus Veyssi.
TheBlaze explained:
Google has been mocked and ridiculed for a Christmas ad video starring a nonbinary beauty influencer.
The ad shows TikToker Cyrus Veyssi promoting skin care products for Google Shopping.
“This winter dryness is not it. Especially when I have so many holiday looks to pull off. Thankfully, I know just the thing,” Veyssi says. “Hydrated skin is a gift to everyone. No wrapping needed. Happy holidays to me.”
The video was posted to social media where many users said they found the ad off-putting and offensive.
Social media users were quick to voice their displeasure:
Repulsive. Can't they give it up during one of the most holy of holidays? But I guess that's the point. To stick it to regular/normal Americans.

Why do they always act (and the emphasis is on act) like some ridiculous caricature of a woman? Beyond insulting.

The one time of year when men shop, usually to buy gifts for the women in their lives, and Google creates an ad that only induces their gag reflex. pic.twitter.com/OHl9j9Id9g

Google is using mental health patients in their ads once again

Fox Business provided additional coverage of the controversy:
While Veyssi doesn’t often discuss politics on social media, he isn’t afraid to take shots at people he disagrees with online. In a post marking Trans Week of Visibility last month, Veyssi put out a video responding to a female social media user who celebrated President-elect Trump’s victory and “the right to be protected when going into a female bathrooms.”
The woman said she was relieved “not [to] have to share a bathroom with a biological male.”
“Hi diva, plot twist,” Veyssi replied on Instagram. “You don’t care about being protected from trans people. You hate trans people.”
“Let me explain. As a millennial with anxiety, I understand fear. So what I do is, I take data and that quells my fears. because this myth and this fallacy that trans people are just using restrooms to access people and violate them can very easily be disproved,” Veyssi went on.
