MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - In response to President Donald Trump's planned visit to the Target Center in Minneapolis Thursday, First Avenue announced it will donate all of its profits that day to Planned Parenthood.

According to the music venue, concerts planned for Thursday night will go on as scheduled, and all profits from First Avenue--including the 7th St Entry and The Depot Tavern--will be donated to Planned Parenthood North Central States.

“While we are not a political organization, First Avenue has hosted candidates and events across the political spectrum and supports diversity of thought. However, the actions and policies of this administration are in direct conflict to our core values.

Bless their hearts.

Great! Let’s have PP privately funded! Remove all federal funding!

[Sacajaweau]

It's not just about the funding. It's that "killing" babies is okay.

I can stop shopping at Target. No problem.

[Louis Foxwell]

More bilge water. Don’t drink the koolaid.

“While we are not a political organization, First Avenue has hosted candidates and events across the political spectrum and supports diversity of thought...”

Translation: We really don’t support diversity of thought. We just like to make it look like we do”

“While we are not a political organization, First Avenue has hosted candidates and events across the political spectrum and supports diversity of thought. However, the actions and policies of this administration are in direct conflict to our core values.

So you're liars and a political organization.

[rktman]

“...supports diversity of thought...” As long as your thoughts coincide with their thoughts. Otherwise, meh!

[italianquaker]

Good 4 them, they are learning no tax money

Their “core values” evidently include dead babies.

However, the actions and policies of this administration are in direct conflict to our core values.

But aborting babies does not...

[TMN78247]

Obviously hundreds of thousands of INNOCENT DEAD BABIES isn’t in conflict with their so-called “core values”. - One wonders if the owners of those firms approve of killing older children & adults, too??

I cannot stop shopping at Target as I already have stopped. = ALL of these businesses can do without our family’s money, FOREVER.

Yours, TMN78247 & family

While we are not a political organization,...

Sorry, but your actions here reveal this not to be true.  You are very much a political organization.

First Avenue has hosted candidates and events across the political spectrum...

...and yet you state yourself that certain members of the political class do not share you own views, and this obviously angers you.

...and supports diversity of thought.

No you don't.  If you did, you would not be doing this in reaction to President Trump coming to your city clearly just to express his thoughts.

However,...

There's no however justified here.  You're not going across the grain to do this.  It's who you are.  You are seething inside that anyone with views different than yours might think they had a right to express those views in your city.

Furthermore, you are livid at the idea of different views being aired in the public arena, and listeners being able to make their own choices based on the validity of the arguments!

...the actions and policies of this administration are in direct conflict to our core values.

Well, they aren't silencing the voices of people on the other side.  You are definitely trying to.

Yep, that's part of your core values.

You're a disgusting little fraud, making statements that are totally false.

First Avenue is a tiny bar in Minneapolis, President Trump will be holding his rally at Target Arena. But I swore off Target when they went all coed bathroom crazy.

[Robert DeLong]

Actually when they say diversity of thought, what they really mean are thoughts that are differing from what might be traditional in nature.

[mass55th]

Go ahead. I don’t shop at your store anyway, and wouldn’t even if I could. Isn’t it nice that the people who run PP, and all the people who prosper from it, along with their sale of baby body parts, have been allowed to live their lives as they’ve seen fit, do what they’ve wanted to do, have successful careers, families, etc., yet begrudge that same right to each and every child that they abort in the womb and out.

Well how kind of them to give the president’ s supporters a heads up. Pass along to all attending the rally to avoid First Avenue like the plague.

[ImpBill]

Gulp!

First Avenue is and has been (under various names) a nightclub in the Minneapolis scene for almost 50 years.

Many scenes from Prince and the Revolution’s “Purple Rain” were shot there.

[backwoods-engineer]

What is First Avenue? Not explained in excerpt.

[RooRoobird20]

First Avenue includes unfettered bloody abortion and infanticide as a “core value.”

Sickening, truly sickening.
