Target takes 'emergency' action to 'avoid a Bud Light situation' and removes 'tuck-friendly' women's swimwear and LGBTQ products from display in Southern stores - as CEO DEFENDS the line
Daily Mail UK ^ | May 23, 2023 | Will Potter

Target's CEO has defended the company's controversial 'tuck friendly' female swimwear line, insisting the woke product rollout will be a success.

The retail giant sparked backlash after releasing a new line of clothing to celebrate Pride month in June, which includes a label advertising 'tuck-friendly construction' and 'extra crotch' coverage. The design is made to help conceal a person's private parts.

Despite facing sharp criticism for the release, which also includes items for babies and children, CEO Brian Cornell told Fortune's Leadership Next podcast he approved of the campaign.

'When we think about purpose at Target, it’s really about helping all the families, and that "all" word is really important,' he said.

'Most of America shops at Target, so we want to do the right thing to support families across the country.'

Cornell's remarks came as he was pressed on criticisms the company faced in the aftermath of its rollout.

'I think those are just good business decisions, and it’s the right thing for society, and it’s the great thing for our brand,' Cornell said.

'The things we’ve done from a DE&I (diversity, equity, and inclusion) standpoint, it’s adding value.

Taking the displays down? Because of shoplifting?

It would be a real shame if urban youth were to burn down more Target stores.

Don’t let Target trick you, they are a tool of Satan. This is a statement/belief from the UK company supplying the pride and Satan brand working with Target!

“Satan loves you and respects who you are; you’re important and valuable in this world and you deserve to treat yourself with love and respect. LGBT+ people are so often referred to as being a product of Satan or going against God’s will, so fine. We’ll hang with Satan instead,” the company stated in another Instagram caption. “Satanists don’t actually believe in Satan, he is merely used as a symbol of passion, pride, and liberty. He means to you what you need him to mean. So for me, Satan is hope, compassion, equality, and love.”

What do you expect from a company that pandered pedo clothing decades ago and lets men enter women’s bathrooms?

These people are just crazy..

Here let’s push something .00001% of the population might buy, put it right up front and draw attention to it, and is going to offend the sensibilities of most of the rest of your customers…

Your tuck line of swimsuits have about as much chance of being a “hit” as Demntia Joe does of knowing what day of the week it is

“Most of America shops at Target,” says the CEO. I think that’s about to change.

Because that is where they think all the “bigoted, transphobic, racist, white-supremacist, Bible-believing, Trump supporters all live. THOSE bitter-clingers will be the only ones offended by such a display.

I actually dont’t despise most trannies.

They are mentally ill people, men and women, bei g expolited by the left/socialists to help damage society. They are using mentally ill people for their own multiple agendas, while pretending to be the ones that really care about them.

Its these people we all must really hate and despise. The trans folk need proper mental treatment and to feel comfortable in their God-given bodies.

One of the few nice things about Canada is Target came in big time and opened stores nationwide a few years ago and fell flat on its face. They thought they could be an upscale version of Walmart. They lasted a couple of years and pulled out never to return.

One thing that has INFURIATED me about Target -

they forced women to accept MEN in the female restrooms and changing rooms.

HOWEVER, they introduced children’s shopping carts and there was an uproar and THEY IMMEDIATELY MADE A HUGE SHOW OF ‘LISTENING TO OUR CUSTOMERS’ AND REMOVED THEM.

“The Minneapolis-based retailer pulled the plug on the test earlier this week, just a few weeks into it, after receiving an earful of complaints as customers vented on social media about bruised ankles and shins and the difficulty of managing their children who often got carried away with the carts. They described shopping cart collisions and meltdowns that resulted from parents not wanting to buy all of the items they put in the carts. Those without children also expressed displeasure at the traffic jams in the aisles.

“At Target, our guests are at the center of everything we do, and we value their feedback,” said Kristy Welker, a Target spokeswoman. “We briefly tested kiddie carts at 72 Target stores, and after reviewing guest and stores feedback, we have made the decision to stop the test.”

Women and children have been sexually assaulted in dressing rooms and photographed by men who women are FORCED to tolerate but NOT ONE THING HAS BEEN DONE TO PROTECT WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

Learn from the Left. Find a target (nice pun, huh?) and then call it a day. Conservatives don’t shop at Target. But we drink bud light.

Perhaps, but I think many, if not the majority, of them do not really believe they are the opposite sex. In fact, they are homosexuals who hate the opposite sex. That is why drag queens are so over-the-top. They are mocking women. They are also shaking their fists at God. They mock God by taking Christian symbols, such as the rainbow, and making it their own.

NEVER FORGIVE, NEVER FORGET.

They accidentally showed you their TRUE COLORS. No matter how much they repent, no matter how much they prostrate themselves, THEY CANNOT AND WILL NOT CHANGE.

If you relent, EVER, WE have lost. PERIOD.

On the other hand, if you stay the course, don’t lose your resolve, boycott ALL Anheuser-Busch products and ALL Target stores, drive them both all out of business, it will be a lesson to the rest of them. DO NOT underestimate the willingness of the American public to use their wallets to voice their moral values.

Liberals, progressives and other Marxists do it all the time, boycott and bankrupt businesses that promote right-wing values. It’s time they tasted some of their own medicine.
