Target boycotts are 'literally terrorism' suggests professor on MSNBC

MSNBC may regret bringing a University of Michigan professor on the network after he suggested that people boycotting Target may be a form of terrorism during his interview with MSNBC. Target has suffered major market value losses of around $9 billion after backlash from Americans who were fed up with LGBT merchandise being shown in the store, where children can see it. To make it worse, Target was reportedly selling 'tuck-friendly' bathing suits, baby onesies with LGBT propaganda, and even children's books talking about or advocating for drag queens - something that is not child appropriate and only meant for adults.<br /><br />The professor who went on MSNBC is Justin Wolfers who teaches public policy and economics. He suggested any threats or boycotts to the store that determines what Target will sell or not sell is likely a form of terrorism, said a report on <a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/target-boycott-terrorism-msnbc" target="_blank">The Blaze</a>.<br /> <blockquote> <p>"One of two things are true. It could be [Target] are cowards and they use that as protection and a smokescreen so they could make a cowardly decision, or it could be that they are actually genuinely concerned about the well-being of their employees and they have had credible threats," Wolfers said on MSNBC's "The 11th Hour."</p> <p>"If that is the case, when Target caves into this, then it says that the moment you threaten the employees of even a very large corporation, you get to control its policies. This is economic terrorism, literally terrorism, creating fear among the workers and forcing the corporations to sell the things you want, not sell the things you don't."</p> <p>Wolfers added that he found Target's response to be "quite scary."</p> <p>The professor joins some queer and transgender designers who blamed "domestic terrorists" for the removal of products from Target. "We are saddened to say that the majority of our collection has been removed from Target stores due to threats from domestic terrorists," read a post by a brand called Ash + Chess.</p> </blockquote> Target was taking major heat when they tried to sell a shirt that said: "Trans People Will Always Exist" as parents and upset Americans pushed back, demanding this stuff be taken off shelves and away from where children can see it. Americans and people across the planet want to keep children away from the s-xualized and adult-only propaganda and agenda.

'Boycott Target' song climbs charts; 'Somebody has to stand up for the kids'

A rapper named Forgiato Blow released an anti-Target song calling for the protection of children from LGBTQ merchandise and the song is slowly climbing up the iTunes charts, reaching as high as #1 on the hip hop charts for the time being. The rapper was on 'Fox & Friends' talking about the song and his situation, as reported on Fox News.<br /><br />The rapper said: "We're living in a culture right now where people need to speak out... Somebody has to stand up for the kids." This was mostly in reference to LGBTQ propaganda and merchandise being in schools or stores or really any place that kids can see it, because it's not age-appropriate for them at all.<br /><br /><a href="https://usajournal.news/2023/05/26/customer-backlash-costs-target/" target="_blank">USA Journal</a> reported more on the downfall of Target and the consequences suffered by promoting this material in a place where children frequently visit with their parents or family: <blockquote> <p>Target has become the latest American brand to suffer consumer backlash in response to what many saw as a poorly thought out marketing strategy.</p> <p>In a remarkable turn of events, Target experienced a significant decline in its stock price, reaching a three-year low on Thursday. This decline was attributed to the escalating backlash the company faced due to its decision to sell Pride merchandise targeted explicitly at children.</p> <p>The stock price dipped to $137.39 USD, marking a low not witnessed since August 2020. Although the stock price made a slight recovery, the overall downward trend persisted.</p> <p>Since the social media calls for a boycott started, the renowned retail company headquartered in Minneapolis, Target, has reportedly experienced a staggering loss of $9 billion in market value.</p> <p>Just a week ago, prior to the controversy, Target’s stock was at $160.96 per share. It has since plummeted to $141.76, resulting in a 12 percent decline and reducing the company’s market value to $65.3 billion.</p> </blockquote> See <a href="https://www.popvortex.com/music/charts/top-rap-songs.php" target="_blank">Pop Vortex</a> for iTunes song charts. This outlet reported that "Boycott Target (feat. Nick Nittoli & Stoney Dudebro) Forgiato Blow & Jimmy Levy" was ranked #1 on the hip hop charts on May 30, 2023.
