At least five Targets in multiple states received bomb threats Friday over company executives pulling the Pride collection section because of mounting boycotts, leading to multiple stores being evacuated as police and the FBI searched for explosive devices.
"Target is full of [redacted] cowards who turned their back on the LGBT community and decided to cater to homophobic right wing, redneck, bigots, who protested and vandalized their store," reads a threatening email sent to several Target locations in Ohio and one in Pennsylvania, Cleveland 19 News reports.
"We won't stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down. We are sending you a message, we placed a bomb in the following Targets. We will continue to bomb your Targets until you stop cowering and bring back your LBGT merchandise. "
One shopper told 19 News, "I know a lot of people around here are not a fan of LGBT that kind of stuff me personally I mean it's whatever. I never thought someone would go as far as a bomb threat."
In Utah, local media outlet KUTV said, "Bomb threats were made to Target stores in Layton, Salt Lake, Taylorsville, and Provo."
On Thursday, one day before the bomb threat was made, we reported a Fox News insider confirmed Target stores across the South and rural America removed controversial LGBT-themed products ahead of June Pride month to avoid further backlash. Some products ranged from "tuck-friendly" swimsuits for transgender people to gender-fluid coffee mugs. The insider said the reasoning behind such an abrupt move is "to avoid the kind of backlash Bud Light has received in recent weeks."
As we noted last week...
Corporations have freedom of speech under the First Amendment but have to understand if their political ideologies don't align with customers, then the people also have freedom of speech to voice their opinion. That's why corporations should probably stay out of identity politics or risk pissing off both sides, because what Target did by moving pride products to the back and scaling down the section will likely spark outrage in the trans community.
And the Target bomb threat comes after California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a diehard progressive, tweeted, "CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage."
"This isn't just a couple of stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country," Newsom said.

This isn’t just a couple stores in the South. There is a systematic attack on the gay community happening across the country.
Wake up America.
This doesn’t stop here.… https://t.co/1vRgukaT0g — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) May 24, 2023
Did Newsom's tweet incite the radical left's attack on Target?
And congrats to Target's executives who have managed to anger conservatives and progressives.
We are dealing with dangerously mentally ill people who will just have to be put down. We did not start it, but we will be called to finish it.
FBI remains unable to produce a motive. They’re thinking misdirection by the far right. /s
The trannies are pretty violent.

Still waiting to read the s/he/it’s manifesto.
FBI won’t classify this as terrorism or a hate crime. Simply an isolated incident of mental illness.
The FBI will arrest any Proud Boys they haven’t already rounded up over January 6th.
The USA would be fine without Target.
“dangerously mentally ill people who will just have to be put down”
If you wait long enough they will commit suicide anyway.
Now you see why AB hasn’t back tracked. Once you make friends with weirdos you cannot unfriend them.
Reichstag Fire.
So much for tolerance.
But remembers, America’s KGB says “white supremacists” are the biggest threat to this country.
Up until about 100 years ago, people were too busy farming and working on getting their next meal to have TIME to spin delusions about what “gender they are”. Pronoun Insanity didn’t exist until about three years ago. Trannies COULDN’T EXIST until about 1970 or so. And men have NEVER been able to give birth.
Yep. I see it at work. Deranged and unhinged.
Ok. You’re going to bomb a store just because the store won’t sell a bunch of tacky t-shirts??
Go make your own stupid T-shirts!!!
All homos are potentially dangerous. Now they have an army. That’s all this endangered nation needs; another internal enemy. Look for the AG to swing into action.
I’m betting the shrieking little freak was much too excited to properly cover its tracks.
They’ll have the IP address within hours and can pick it up at leisure.
If they want to, that is.
