South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem says America 'just can't shop at Target anymore' because the store is 'fundamentally tearing down this country' after 'tuck-friendly' swimwear debacle knocked $14b off market value

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has hit out at Target for funding a woke organization that wants to close Mount Rushmore, which it sees as a 'symbol of white supremacy.'

In an interview with FOX News host Steve Doocy on Fox and Friends Wednesday, Noem said that while she and other Americans loved shopping at Target 'we just can't anymore' because the company is 'fundamentally tearing down this country.'

Target has come under fire in recent weeks for its Pride display featuring 'tuck-friendly' swimsuits for women.

It was later revealed that its nonprofit organization has donated millions to a pro-LGBTQ organization that promotes keeping a child's gender identity from their parents and another group that calls for the return of Mount Rushmore to the Lakota people.

Target's market value plummeted by $14billion in the wake of the scandal, but has since ticked back up slightly, recouping $1billion of its losses.

On Wednesday, Doocy spoke about Target's connection with the NDN Collective, an Indigenous-led organization dedicated to building Indigenous power, according to its website.

The FOX News host asked Noem what she thought of the connection, to which she replied: 'Well Steve it's crazy.

'They want to take away Mount Rushmore, shut it down, eliminate it. And it has long been an institution of what America stands for.'

They need to just shut down in the US. Idiots run the company, shareholders need to sue the Board.

Imagine the outrage if a store like Bass Pro Shops had a gun display front and center. And advertising them to children.

Surprised she hasn’t tossed her hat into the POTUS ring yet.
She’ll try to be someone’s VP.

She did sign a law banning men from playing women’s sports.

She had disapproved one version of the bill which she thought would face legal challenges. But she did eventually sign legislation to accomplish this.

That was a BS excuse. She caved to big banking that bases a lot of cards in SD. After the unexpected backlash, she was sent a much watered down version.

She made her choice. Bush in a dress.

“Target has come under fire in recent weeks for its Pride display featuring ‘tuck-friendly’ swimsuits for women.”

No, they were “tuck-friendly” swimsuits for children. That’s one of the things people are upset about. Nobody cares what grown perverts want to do in their swimwear.

I love the fact that they have painted targets on all their stores. The targets make it easier to identify them from the air.
