NBC News tries to blame Target boycott on this



Target has come under fire for its controversial Pride collection, and the mainstream media has taken the opportunity to blame conservatives and misinformation.

In a recent announcement, Target said, “Given these volatile circumstances, we are making adjustments to our plan, including removing items that have been at the center of the most significant confrontational behavior.”

Target has removed the LGBTQ brand Abprallen from its stores and website. Abprallen’s store features satanic themes with messages like “Satan respects pronouns.”

The company is also reportedly reviewing its collection of “tuck-friendly” swimsuits, which allow men who have not had transgender surgery to conceal their nether regions while wearing women’s swimwear.

NBC News reported that these swimsuits have been “at the center of misinformation.”

Senior reporter at NBC News Ben Collins took to the cameras to explain.

“The misinformation here was that kids were being targeted with this stuff. They realize if they can threaten enough people, if they can scare enough people in real-life locations, that maybe support for the LGBTQ community will diminish among corporations,” Collins said.

GLAAD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis also went on NBC to discuss the matter.

“I think there’s this really small group who has an outsized voice at this moment in time, and it’s of hate, and it’s of discrimination, and it’s violent,” Ellis said.

Dave Rubin doesn’t see it the same way.

“Again, this is about kids. This stuff is always pushed in kids' sections,” Rubin says.

“They literally had a satanic trans person as the lead designer of all this, and they were putting satanic messages that you could buy,” Rubin continues.

“Satanic messages for the children. Is that a problem?” he asks.

Target BOYCOTT? Why Target's LGBT items make Glenn LOSE HIS MIND



Target has historically celebrated Pride Month, but this year the company may have taken the annual celebration a little too far for consumers.

The retailer has come out with a Pride line that includes children and toddler clothing and features “tuck-friendly” or “binding” swimwear in women's styles.

Glenn Beck and many others online have noticed the swimwear in recent trips to Target, and Glenn does not approve.

“I have no problem with trans if that’s what you want to do,” he explains, “but it is a very small percentage — less than one percent of the population. Let me say it again, less than one percent. And you would think we are a country made up of trans people.”

Despite the extraordinarily small percentage that transgender people make up, we’re inundated with campaigns by major brands that center around them.

But it’s not just the distortion of the truth that’s a problem, Glenn Beck warns.

According to Glenn, Target has partnered with Abprallen — a brand that sells Satanist merchandise — to create clothing for its Pride collection.

The items feature slogans like “We belong everywhere,” “Too queer for here,” and “Cure transphobia not trans people.”

The company was founded by a gay trans man named Eric Carnell, who recently was quoted saying: “I’m especially happy about the thought that young closeted people will see it and I hope in some way they’ll feel a little more comfortable in themselves, as we deserve to feel.”

According to Carnell, the word “groomer” is a “right-wing transphobic word,” but Carnell claims that Carnell was also groomed when young.

Despite this admission, the activist’s products on the brand’s website seem to promote violence against those who disagree with the LGBTQ movement.

One of the products featured is a pin with two axes on it that reads “Ready to fight for trans rights,” and another is a design with a guillotine and skulls near it that reads “Homophobic headrest.”

“Now imagine,” Glenn says, “if I made a T-shirt that had a guillotine and skulls and I said ‘Liberal headrest.’ Do you think they would say I was promoting violence?”

Glenn mentions that another T-shirt available on the site reads "Satan respects pronouns."

“Are you shopping at Target?” he asks. “I hope not.”
