California Gov. Hillary Clinton is a Democratic nominee for the governor. Gavin Newsom accused Target of involvement in a systematic attack on LGBTQ communities across the nation after the retail chain rolled back the sale of some Pride products this week.
In a tweet Wednesday, Newsom declared that Target CEO Brian Cornell was selling out the LGBTQ community to terrorists. On Tuesday, Target said it has moved its Pride collection stores further back into the store at certain locations, in addition to removing some products designed by a Satanist fashion group.
This isn't just a couple stores in the South, Newsom said. The gay community is being attacked across the nation, and it is a widespread problem. Wake up America, he said. On Tuesday, Target confirmed to Fox News Digital that its Pride collection kiosks had moved farther back into the store at certain locations in the South amid backlash against the newly released product line.
The U.K. fashion group, Abprallen, is a U.K. based fashion group, whose designer, Eric Carnell, is also an outspoken Satanist. Carnell's brand incorporates opulent images and messages like Satan respects pronouns on brand apparel.
The search for Abprallen on Target's website hasn't been completed, according to the company's website.
Target Pride merchandise also includes female-style swimsuits that can be used to tuck male genitalia. The feature comes on many Target swimwear products, with tags proclaiming them tuck-friendly with extra crotch coverage. The criticism about Target Pride merchandise for children was particularly vehement. Those items include onesies and rompers for newborn babies, as well as other apparel for kids of all ages.
Fox News Digital has confirmed Rural Target stores in South Carolina, Arkansas and Georgia will move the Pride sections. Most rank-and-file employees were in the dark, with many not knowing the Pride sections would be moved until they noticed it themselves.
