Multimillionaire Sen. J.D. Vance: I’m Boycotting Target

Mediaite reports:

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) has jumped into the far-right fray over Target by claiming the mega retailer has decided to “wage war” on its customers by selling LGBTQ merchandise, and vowing not to shop there again. “Target could have decided to stay out of the culture wars, instead it decided to wage war on a large share of its customer base,” Vance tweeted. “I no longer shop at Target, and it seems many families are doing the same.”

According to The Washington Post, Target has “offered products celebrating Pride Month, typically in June, for more than a decade. But this year’s collection led to threats from conservatives accusing the company of “grooming children.” Disgruntled customers have harassed Target employees, knocked over merchandise displays, and posted threatening videos to social media.

Read the full article. We’re standing by for Vance to pull his stupid book from Target’s shelves. Yeah.

The goal of the right is erasing the LGBTQ community from society. They know the non stop drumbeat of attacks on the LGBTQ community will incite hate crimes–at this point we have to assume they want such violence. https://t.co/Q8V1DLJxQr

You don’t shop at target because you’re rich.

Target has sold Pride merchandise for many many years. Target has not changed. What has changed is the right wing deciding to make LGBTQ+ people a culture war issue because they have no ideas that are popular with the American people. They can only thrive on hate, fear and lies. https://t.co/UC8vaRvNgJ

And how exactly is supporting a marginalized group, waging war with on anyone? Check your mangina, the fragility is showing. https://t.co/QUpabDUAow

Remember kids, selling clothing that their customers want to buy is the exact same thing as “waging war”…
only if you’re a pathetic snowflake loser who gets his panties in a bunch at the notion of someone else doing something they want that has no effect on your life whatsoever. https://t.co/8aQ9OnLu44
