Target's CEO said in a recent interview that "woke" capitalism is "great" for their brand and "the right thing for society," but with the corporation's image and bottom line at stake, the retail chain seems to have changed its tune.

Target CEO Brian Cornell made the comment during an interview on Fortune’s "Leadership Next" podcast on May 17, days before the retail chain became the target of outrage from customers and online backlash over its June Pride month collection this year, which includes "tuck friendly" women's bathing suits for transgender people, "gender fluid" mugs, and LGBTQ rainbow-themed clothing for children.

...

The reaction seemingly worried Target management, who took "emergency" action Friday directing some managers and district senior directors to tamp down the Pride sections in their stores over fears of re-creating a "Bud Light situation," Fox News Digital first reported Tuesday, citing a Target insider.

I’d boycott the idiots but I don’t go into Target. I just don’t like the joint. Seems like a DNC gift shop to me.

My God.

They hired and PAID a transgender satanist to create shirts for children.

You know they would NEVER hire a Christian to put Bible verses on shirts for anyone.

They can rot.

When you run a five and dime, it’s hard to be relevant.

I cannot boycott MORE something I already am boycotting...

But if I could I would.

I hope Target dies. Or gets taken over by Hobby Lobby.
