Target, the popular retail giant, is under fire for scaling back sections of its stores featuring LGBTQ products in southern states, but conservative commentator Benny Johnson states that they’re lying to the public. Johnson made a video where he walked around a Tampa, Florida Target store, showing off products from the designer Erik Carnell. The products by Carnell include images of horned skulls, pentagrams, and other Satanic imagery, and are under scrutiny for their association with the LGBTQ community. Although the Abprallen products were removed from all U.S Target stores and website, the Tampa store still contained “we belong everywhere” fanny packs.
🚨 TARGET IS LYING TO YOU🚨
TARGET: “We removed Satanic items”
Reality: Here they are
TARGET: “PRIDE section is for Adults only”
Reality: Groomer child mannequins, toddler onsies, books
TARGET: “We relocated the PRIDE display”
Reality: Front of store, KIDS Section

This controversy is occurring as a conservative investment fund divested its holdings of the company, adding the retail giant to their “Refuse to Buy” list. The American Conservative Values ETF criticizes Target for pandering to the Woke LGBT agenda and damaging the company’s brand. The team believes that Target’s stocks’ long-term performance will negatively get affected due to their actions. Furthermore, Target’s reputation is now in question as they target conservative values.
These events have led to the collapse of Target stock to its lowest point of the year, which might not be the company’s only concern. Consumers may question Target’s decisions on having such products on their shelves, which could lead to major losses for the company. It remains to see if the retail giant can recover its reputation or whether its politically liberal agenda may lead to its downfall.
