(Natural News) Target is the latest company to find out the meaning of “get woke, go broke” as the backlash over its controversial LGBT Pride line of products has led to a major financial setback.
Financial services giant JPMorgan downgraded Target’s stock from “neutral” to “overweight” as its market value dropped $14 billion in the fallout from its decision to promote the product line. JP Morgan analyst Christopher Horvers said: “We continue to believe that the consumer is broadly weakening while the share of wallet shift away from goods (51% of [Target’s] sales) is ongoing.”
Their stock is currently sitting close to a three-year low after shares have fallen nearly 20 percent this quarter.
Target’s Pride product line, which contained items such as mugs with slogans like “gender fluid,” rainbow-colored clothing, onesies for newborns, “Super Queer” party supplies and home décor, has been the source of several controversies. Particular areas of contention include the products geared toward children and a female swimwear range with swimsuits bearing a label boasting of their “tuck friendly construction” and “extra crotch coverage” to facilitate hiding a man’s body parts inside. The line features swimsuits labeled as “Thoughtfully fit on multiple body types and gender expressions.”
After some customers expressed their distaste for the way some of the items promote transgenderism to youth and its prominent location in the front of stores, the company adjusted its merchandising plans. They stated: “Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and wellbeing while at work. Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”
For example, at some stores in the South, much of this merchandise had to be moved to the back of the store. Many of the items in question were designed by a self-proclaimed Satanist, transgender artist Erik Carnell.
Carnell said that companies like Target who launch these types of lines want to profit from LGBTQ individuals but are quick to abandon them when controversy strikes.
One Target insider explained the changes that were made in response to the backlash to Fox News: “We were given 36 hours, told to take all of our Pride stuff, the entire section, and move it into a section that’s a third the size. From the front of the store to the back of the store, you can’t have anything on mannequins and no large signage.”
Many Target workers were relieved, with some claiming they had been confronted by customers who disapproved of the products and some even fearing for their safety.
Target was afraid of a “Bud Light situation”

The Target insider added that they felt the company was “terrified of a Bud Light situation.” The beer maker has seen its sales plummet following a partnership with transgender activist and influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Mulvaney, who transitioned from a man to a woman, posted about the company sending him cans of Bud Light featuring his face on social media in a video entitled “Celebrating 365 days of womanhood.” Consumer backlash was swift and strong, resulting in numerous boycotts, competitors gaining ground, and the executives behind the promotion being placed on leave.
The combined market value of Target and Bud Light’s parent company, Anheuser-Busch, has dropped by nearly $40 billion in the wake of consumer boycotts.
Target also spurred a boycott in 2016 after posting a public statement announcing that “transgender team members and guests” would be allowed to use whatever bathrooms and fitting rooms they wanted.

Target exposed for supporting efforts to defund U.S. military, close Mt. Rushmore over false claim of ‘white supremacy’

(Natural News) Target has been exposed anew for being nothing short of a woke anti-American company selling cheap Chinese-made goods and hating on its country.
Since the George Floyd protests and riots of 2020, Target Corporation has stated that it has increased its focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. These efforts have gone beyond simply improving representation and support for historically marginalized groups within the company and its stores. Target has also provided funding to organizations that align with left-leaning and politically charged agendas, a Fox News investigation has found.
Target has intensified its DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) program in response to the Black Lives Matter movement, with Kiera Fernandez leading the efforts as the diversity chief. Fernandez has emphasized the need for action from all individuals, including “white women,” to address the lie of ‘systemic racism’ in America, the outlet reported.
Fox News Digital discovered that Target, through its nonprofit foundation overseen by senior corporate treasurers, provided funding to a grantee organization advocating for the relinquishment and redistribution of U.S. sovereign land, including Mount Rushmore.
The grantee’s perspective is that Mount Rushmore symbolizes “white supremacy” internationally and aims to demilitarize the perceived “violent” U.S. military.
Furthermore, the same grantee supports efforts to undermine Israel’s Jewish identity, including the implementation of the Palestinian “Law of Return” and employing economic warfare strategies like boycotts and sanctions against the Jewish State to advocate for a “Free Palestine,” Fox News found.
The report adds:
Another Target Foundation grantee said parents must teach specifically “White children” about systemic racism and to “see color.” It also claimed that capitalism maintained a role in perpetuating racism.
The Target Foundation’s webpage reflected that it funded the NDN Collective in 2022, a South Dakota-based nonprofit with a revenue stream that has reached as high as $50M+, according to its 2021 tax filing. NDN operates with a “racial equity lens” and is “dedicated to building Indigenous power [t]hrough organizing, activism, philanthropy, grantmaking… and narrative change.”
NDN identifies as an “intersectional” organization, drawing inspiration from critical race theorist Kimberlé Crenshaw’s concept. According to this perspective, NDN believes that America is inherently structured with systems that perpetuate racism and misogyny. They argue that these systems intersect and result in various forms of oppression experienced by individuals. NDN aims to collaborate with other marginalized groups in their pursuit of “liberation.”
One of their campaigns, called “LANDBACK,” advocates for the relinquishment of public land in America.
“The closure of Mount Rushmore, return of that land and all public lands in the Black Hills, South Dakota is our cornerstone battle,” NDN said. “Not only does Mount Rushmore sit in the heart of the sacred Black Hills, but it is an international symbol of White supremacy and colonization. To truly dismantle white supremacy and systems of oppression, we have to go back to the roots. Which, for us, is putting Indigenous Lands back in Indigenous hands.”
Fox News notes further: “LANDBACK also supports Israel giving up its Jewish character by opening the floodgates to those who identify as Palestinian refugees. After Israel gave up the Gaza Strip for peace in 2005 under pressure from the Bush administration, the former Israeli territory became what some analysts call a ‘missile launch pad’ that is operated and controlled by the Hamas terror group.”
NDN said, “From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.” The rallying cry has been used for years by “terrorist organizations such as Hamas, which seek Israel’s destruction through violent means,” according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Let’s face it: Target was founded as an American retailer, but it’s about as anti-American and anti-freedom as a U.S. corporation can get. Avoid shopping there at all costs if you value the future of the country.
