Target stores in at least five states have been targeted with disturbing hoax bomb threats amid backlash to its LGBTQ+ Pride product decisions.
The retail giant's market cap has plummeted over $15 billion in the wake of its Pride release, leading the brand to pull some of its controversial products in the face of 'threats' to staffers.
But the decision to remove the items reportedly fueled the bomb threats, with some reportedly saying Target 'betrayed the LGBTQ+ community'.
According to the Washington Post, the hoaxes were reported in Oklahoma, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont and Louisiana, although no explosives were found.
Several local news outlets have claimed they have received the threatening emails, which claim bombs were placed inside their local Target stores.
This included Louisiana news outlet KLFY, which reported the hoax threat was motivated by backlash to Pride merchandise and corporate decisions to cave to the pressure.
'You have betrayed the LGBTQ+ community,' the email reportedly said.
'You are pathetic cowards who bowed to the wishes of far right extremists who want to exterminate us.
'We will not tolerate intolerance nor indifference. If you are not with us then you are against us. That is why we placed a bomb in each of your locations, evacuate now as this is only to cause economic damage.'

Leftists eating their own. Gotta love it.
Target’s shareholders meeting is today. Let’s see how long the CEO sticks around.
They are trying to cut down on rear end accidents. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
And one that works. Had a lefty coworker in our morning meeting acting like it was our side making these threats.
Where is the FBI?
They are chasing Catholics going to the Latin Mass.
It’s that nasty propagandistic word “amid”.
“Editors” and “reporters”/”journalists” all over the U.S. use the word “amid” in either exactly this way, or in similar devious ways, in news headlines and within their stories for all the reasons you’d expect— to feed biased narratives, to advance destructive agendas, on and on.
The word is so loose and short and easy to misconstrue that it should be banned. Of course, those are the reasons it never will be banned.
The only reason they are so quick to label them as “hoaxes” rather than seeming to hyperventilate with panic and fear, is because of who they are, meaning, who as a group are making the threats. Its the LGBTQIA+MYNAMEISLEGION crowd doing it, now known beyond question to harbor an irreducible cohort of violent extremists (who, by the way, and not for nothing, don’t deserve to be described as hoaxers!).
This is what you get with unyielding extremists. 😒😑🙄
