Target in ‘Real, Severe Danger’ After Waving Woke Politics in Customers’ Faces, Critics Warn

Published

on

Clay Travis called out Target Wednesday for their “Pride” products and said the company faces a “real, severe danger” of suffering damage to their bottom line in the same way as Bud Light.

The “Outkick” founder joined “Fox & Friends” to react to reports that Target convened an emergency meeting over their LGBTQ products, particularly clothing for transgender women.

“Most people go to Target because it’s convenient and without any political agenda whatsoever. But so many brands have gone left-wing and decided they have to wave their politics in front of everyone out there. … I would be nervous if I was Target’s CEO,” he told Ainsley Earhardt.

Target confirmed “adjustments” to the Pride merchandising plans are underway after Fox News Digital learned it rolled back displays at some of its locations.

“For more than a decade, Target has offered an assortment of products aimed at celebrating Pride Month. 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. Our focus now is on moving forward with our continuing commitment to the LGBTQIA+ community and standing with them as we celebrate Pride Month and throughout the year,” a Target spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Earlier on Tuesday, Fox News Digital first reported that some southern Target stores were forced by the corporation to move LGBTQ Pride merchandise away from the front of their locations after customer “outrage” to avoid a “Bud Light situation.”

Travis said the Bud Light boycott and ensuing sales declines sent an “important message” to the nation.

“No company ever had to react to losing as Bud Light is. … 28% of its overall sales volume as a result of going too far left-wing, too far woke. And it’s not just Target. There are marketing companies all over the world that are having meetings with big brands and saying, let’s avoid being Bud Light.”

Travis suggested mothers and women respond to Target similarly to how fathers and men responded to Bud Light.

“Just go shop somewhere else and say it’s clear Target is disrespecting us.”

“I think it’s tremendously significant because this is how we bring the country back to normalcy, as opposed to every business and every company going far left-wing.”

Target Pride merchandise includes female-style swimsuits that can be used to “tuck” male genitalia, products labeled as “Thoughtfully fit on multiple body types and gender expressions,” a “Gender Fluid” mug, a variety of adult clothing with slogans such as “Super Queer,” party supplies, home decor, multiple books and a “Grow At Your Own Pace” saucer planter.

On “Hannity” Tuesday, “Outkick” host Charly Arnolt said a majority of Target customers are parents who are not interested in companies marketing transgender ideology to their children.

“Their woke agenda is being force-fed to their children. First, it was in their schools, then it was in the sports teams of their children. Now it’s like you can’t even peacefully shop at Target as a family,” said Arnolt.

Liz Cheney Reveals Lengths She Would Go To Stop Trump In 2024

Published

on

Former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said she is contemplating a third-party presidential run, warning of the dangers that would come from former President Donald Trump serving as president next year for a second term.

Speaking to the Washington Post on Monday while promoting her new book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, Cheney said she would not have thought about a third-party run several years ago but feels the former president’s presidential bid threatens democracy.

“I happen to think democracy is at risk at home, obviously, as a result of Donald Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party, and I think democracy is at risk internationally as well,” Cheney said.

Cheney, once a rising star in the Republican Party before becoming one of Trump’s most outspoken GOP critics, said she would make a final decision within the next few months.

“We face threats that could be existential to the United States, and we need a candidate who is going to be able to deal with and address and confront all of those challenges,” Cheney said. “That will all be part of my calculation as we go into the early months of 2024.”

Cheney served as vice chairwoman of the House Jan. 6 committee and was one of 10 House Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to impeach Trump for a second time following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. She was ousted in the Wyoming primary last year by a Trump-backed challenger, now-Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY).

She has not ruled out voting for President Joe Biden if he is the 2024 Democratic nominee, telling CBS on Sunday that a Republican congressional majority with Trump in the White House would pose a threat to democracy.

Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been on a string of media appearances, further fueling speculation about a presidential bid.

“I don’t even want to imagine a situation where he has won,” Cheney said on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show. “I think we have to do everything we can to stop him in terms of, again, the kind of things we have been working on, working in a nonpartisan fashion.”

Cheney emphasized Republicans, Democrats, and independents need to “work together” and “vote together” to “make clear that Donald Trump is not an acceptable alternative.”

“He is not the lesser of two evils,” Cheney said. “He is a completely unfit man for office. He’s already shown us what he would do, and he can never be near the Oval Office again.”

Professor fired for criticizing homosexuality responds to Christian College

Published

on

A college professor has filed a lawsuit against a Christian college after being fired over social media posts he made criticizing homosexuality.

Dr. Aaron Edwards was fired in March following statements he made online, ending his employment at Cliff College, located in England, that lasted for seven years. Edwards revealed Tuesday that he has enlisted the help of Christian Legal Centre to support his case against the school, according to Fox News Digital.

“I think many Christians have not been willing to say things that will offend people,” he said. “The British people especially find it hard to offend people in ways that other cultures don’t because they’re more willing to say, ‘This is what I believe, and you need to kind of get over it. And I’m free to say that.’ I think in Britain for many years, we’ve tolerated a kind of self-silencing.”

Edwards had claimed on Feb. 19 that homosexuality was “invading the Church” and that many Christians no longer saw “the severity” that such an invasion posed. The statement caused major pushback among LGBT activists, and Cliff College issued a statement calling Edwards’s post “unacceptable” and “inappropriate.”

The professor refused to delete his post, which ultimately led to his firing.

Edwards believes that more Christians will have to face similar situations that he underwent this year, warning that progressive ideology is “invading” both the church and society itself. However, he also said he is encouraged by others who have pushed back against progressive ideology within the church and hopes that the lawsuit against Cliff College will help raise awareness about free speech being at risk in the United Kingdom.
