Target holding an emergency meeting over its controversial Pride merchandise the damage control mode coming as it desperately tries to avoid a so-called Bud Light situation a Target Insider telling Fox News digital quote we were given 36 hours told to take all the pride stuff and move it into a section that is a third of the size from the front of the store to the back I think given the current situation with Bud Light the company is terrified out kick founder clay Travis joins us now good morni
ng Clay good morning how are you Ainsley doing well what is your reaction to this I think it's important message that Bud Light has sent all over the entire nation no companies ever had to react to losing as Bud Light is according to current data 28 of its overall sales volume as a result of going too far left wing too far woke and now I think 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 lighted an
d Ainsley what I would point out is Bud light's overwhelming Market is men and men said we're not going to be talked to like this we're not going to be insulted like the former head of the marketing department inside of Anheuser-Busch at Bud Light who said that bud light's message had too much old school humor and was to Friday and people said you know what we like Bud Light we'll just pick another light beer what I think is interesting here in Ainsley you're a mom I want to know if moms are goi
ng to respond to Target and for a few weeks or maybe even a month just go shop somewhere else and say it's clear Target is disrespecting us I think in particular with these swimsuits that they're wearing that allow the tucking to go on which is crazy and insane especially for young people I think a lot of moms out there should make the decision that a lot of dads and a lot of beer drinkers did again that was overwhelmingly a male boycott and say we're going to take some time off from Target and
show Target that your business is important and that if you're going to be disrespected in terms of woke ideologies being embraced by Target why not make them recognize hey you got to sell to everybody let's come back towards the middle and I think that's probably the biggest lesson here Ainsley is that for so long Brands knew we can go as far left as we want and there are no issues there are no consequences and now we're seeing blowback and I think it's tremendously significant because this is
how we bring the country back to normalcy as a part as opposed to every business and every company going far left wing so clay here is a statement from a spokesperson with Target since introducing this year's collection we've experienced threats impacting our team members sense of safety and well-being while at work given these volatile circumstances we are making adjustments to our plans including removing items at the center of the most significant confrontational Behavior our Focus now is on
moving forward with our continuing commitment to the lgbtqia plus Community what's your reaction to their statement well I mean this is like Bud Light uh as the controversy builds and Target starts to see consequences associated with their behavior they try and shift the story to something else here right the reality is most people go into Target because it's convenient and they go there without any political agenda whatsoever and as so many brands have gone left wing and decided that they have
to waive their politics in front of everyone out there eventually it was going to happen Bud Light has sent a message that this can happen I think Targets in real severe danger of being next on The Chopping Block here I'd be nervous if I was Target CEO all right clay thank you so much it's always good to see you check out what's clicking thank you at outkick.com I'm Steve Ducey I'm Brian Kilmeade and I'm Ainsley Earhart and click here to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page to catch our hottes

My biggest frustration is that I have a four-year-old who absolutely loves rainbows. And the fact that it has been completely hijacked by the pride community makes me extremely cautious on what I select for my daughter to wear.
After seeing the backlash for targeting our children, Target did this anyway. GIVE THEM NO BUSINESS!
As a mum, you are NEVER going near my kids!!! They just exposed their true core motivatiors. You can freaking forget it. This is not a boycott it's abandonment. There is no going back.
I will not shop at Target any more. I called my local store to let them know why I will no longer be shopping there, they chose to do something and now there are consequences. The staff member offered to give me a number to the corporate department dealing with this so I called and let them know as well. The woman I gave the info to at corporate asked if she could have my name and email but I told her that since conservatives are being targeted in this new environment, I would not give that information. I also let her know that I do not trust Target to handle my personal information.
I haven't shopped at Target since they decided a grown male has more of a "right" to enter a female bathroom than my Granddaughters have to their privacy and protection.
Target needs to be held accountable and people should boycott them!!!!!!
Sick of the sexual perversion being shoved down our throats 🤢🤢🤮🤮
I am a regular Target shopper. I can say that Target is now on my lifetime ban list, right there with Gillette and Bud Light.
I was with my family yesterday for a graduation. I needed a pair of shoes. They said, "Well, you could go to Target." I said, "I don't do Target." Later my granddaughter asked me about this and it led to educating her on the whole trans agenda. We have to make this issue a priority for fighting back as the companies push the agenda if we're going to save our country.
Even if I lived to be 10,000 years old, I’d still NEVER shop at this store ever again, period.
"Let's move our satanic child grooming clothing to the back of the store" Let's move our money to other non-woke stores. I'm not into sexualizing children, I'm not into satanism. Target isn't a store for me.
A prolonged boycott of the company is needed.
There shouldn't be any kind of that stuff in the kids department 😢
I'm never shopping at Target, again! It's so sickening!
Moms are avoiding Target full stop! I'm so proud of my niece in Texas. She called up target and canceled her target account and her target credit card and said she will never do business with them again she has a family of five. She also made it very clear that that was the reason she was canceling. Why are they able to Hijack our word Pride and change it's meaning? We take pride in our work...
What on earth did they think was going to happen? I’m done with target no matter where they go from here. It has nothing to do with disrespect, it has everything to do with evil and I don’t know how they come back from this
These companies will eventually learn that the world will not be pushed into something they WILL NOT accept. People have the power, we just need to stand together and say NO!.
Great!! Finally my boycott of Targeting from 9 years ago is FINALLY being felt. Keep frosty EVERYONE!
I wont take my grandchildren around that .. pure sickening and trying grooming children
Yes. Boycott Target. I was going to do it for June, but my wife and I spoke about and we decided NOT to go back... ever. The shirts and statements on the shirts were sick. I have no doubt, unfortunately, that there were some deranged people who made 'threats.' However, I'll bet that they are also trying to play the victim card. We've seen it before with the left and Target has hard-left leadership.
