Former Target exec reveals the 'one item' that sparked consumer firestorm
2023-06-05
[NYPOST] Target has seen a significant drop in its market value as the retail giant faces a consumer firestorm over the displaying of pride merchandise in stores around the nation.

This controversy follows a boycott against Bud Light due to their decision to market products with transgender social media influencer Dylan Stench of Death Mulvaney
...the transexual influencer who single-handedly trashed a major American beer brand owned by a Belgian company, tainted Maybelline and Condé Nast, and then demanded that anybody who called him/her/it a man be arrested...
Former Target Vice Chairman Gerald Storch joined "Fox & Friends Weekend" and revealed the one item that "made the difference" against the competition and sparked the backlash.

He explained that many retailers carry pride merchandise, "you know, the plates that had different colors in it. Fine. You show the rainbow, you know, a gingerbread house, whatever you are, that’s all you know. Who cares? Everybody carries that stuff."

Storch targeted one item from the store’s pride collection that set it apart from its competition and ignited the consumer firestorm.

"I’ve never seen a case where one item, that tuck swimsuit, that’s really what made the difference versus the competitors. That’s where the big mistake [was] made," said the former Target executive.

#5  BS. This started years ago when Target tossed out the Salvation Army. To appease a Minneapolis chamber of commerce member who ran homosexual cruise tours.

Our neighbor was there PR spokeswoman. Carolyn was pretty embarrassed..

#4  Sorry, but this is about like saying Ted Bundy's murders would not have been so bad except for those pesky human bite marks.

But yes. Tucksuit, and showing it off in a manner people couldn't help but notice.

#1  When they turned up the satanic designer, I knew they were in trouble. The kids tuck swimsuit was problematic, but the Dodgers are also finding out that satanic stuff is a marketing mistake.
