Target CEO calls Pride Month display backlash 'first time' team felt 'not safe' at work

Target CEO Brian Cornell suggested that the backlash the retail giant faced back in May over its LGBTQ Pride displays was the first time some team members claimed it was "not safe" at work.

Cornell appeared Thursday on CNBC where he discussed declining sales, particularly following protests and critiques of its Pride Month merchandise. While on the topic, he insisted that employees felt more unsafe during the controversy than they did during natural disasters and violent Black Lives Matter protests.

"This is my 10th holiday season at Target. You and I have been talking almost every quarter during those 10 years. We've seen natural disasters. We've seen the impact of COVID leading up to the pandemic, some of the violence that took place after George Floyd's murder. But I would tell you what I saw back in May is the first time since I've been in this job where I had store team members saying it's not safe to come to work," Cornell said.

"He is the one who made Target stores unsafe for children, for the children of his customers, for children of his employees," Hild continued. "And yet he wants to deflect and put the blame back on his own customer base. He's basically blaming you, the customer, for his mistakes."

Apparently, we are over the target!

Let us keep the pressure on to force these evil people off the street, off the air and back into their LBGTQ+XYZ closet!

Sounds like they don’t have any military veterans or former police or firemen working there.

They felt “not safe” because they were going to get everybody else fired or laid off.

So listening to your customers makes you afraid? Go out of business already then!

Seriously, how did we go from homosexuality being mocked and derided when I was in school in the 80s to people being afraid of straight people in the 2020s?

Cry me a river. I never read one article where anyone threatened Target employees.

The employees aren’t responsible for what their leftist pansy arsed CEO puts out to buy on the sales floor.

This is more gay whiny victimhood played out by the really dangerous gay thugs.

Do they feel unsafe because they cater to unstable gender denying freaks? Itโ€™s the normal people that protest and the last thing normal people want to do is actually go to a Target store. Thatโ€™s why itโ€™s called a boycott. Brian Cornell is a leftist moron. He has zero understanding about the people who make America great.

But the 'team' felt perfectly safe when invaded by dozens of hoodie-clad thieves who raid the place, grabbed whatever they could, then ran out again?

This whole “Bathroom Thing” began at Target.
It is a very little known fact that the radical grooming gay agenda began in the 70’s in Loring Park in Minneapolis.
The Target HQ is in Minneapolis about 2 miles from Loring Park.

I have a very close conservative friend who used to work in that area.
He shared some scary stories.
