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.
Perverts used to want “tolerance.” Now they want everyone to fully embrace and love their twisted perversion or die.
They are sick and dangerous.
The FBI probably won’t classify it as anything.
The FBI is so corrupt they are running around in circles.

A proof positive that people who don’t know their own gender are feebleminded and dangerous to themselves and others and think only of themselves. Narcissistic personality disorder big time.
And the fbi will know exactly who sent in the bomb threat and will do nothing.
Very glad it is target being hit from both sides.
so, maybe this was the reason why target put that stuff in their stores in the first place. This LGBT community activist organization is VIOLENT and threatened them with it if they did not comply. Their compliance was not complete and they are going to be made to pay a price. The Gay Mafia was not bluffing.
Crazy is as Crazy does... I give you: LGBTQWTF...
The media will report the threats as coming from the normal humans.
Target was the first store to allow men in restrooms and dressing rooms with your wives, daughters and mothers. We already know what they do to your sons.
Yet, I know plent of Christians who shop at target. They wouldn’t lower themselves to shop at Walmart.
What is new is the ability to surgically change the parts up.
IIRC they were doing some of this type of surgery in Germany prior to the Nazis taking over.
Renee Richards is the first surgical case I can recall here in the US.
“We won’t stand idly by as the far right continues to hunt us down.”
So much easier to claim victim status than to recognize that they’re not being hunted, their demonic, stupid, arrogant choices are being rejected.
It should be obvious by now that businesses do themselves no favor by getting involved in divisive politics.
and decided to cater to homophobic right wing, redneck, bigots,
*********-——
That list pretty much describes anybody who isn’t lbjkatr.. whatever
About 95% of the human population. Maybe more.
People like their own ways and they don’t like being forced into ways which aren’t their own. Race doesn’t matter. Its simply human.
We Boycott—They BOMB STORES.
Ah, but let’s not label this ‘domestic terror’, as it doesn’t come from the RIGHT.
/s
Bastages.
Did it occur at night?

It’s pretty easy to make a real bomb.
