Candace Owens Calls Transgender Identity a 'Lie' in Target Rant
Candace Owens has branded transgenderism a "lie" in a video criticizing Target over the retailer's recently unveiled range of clothing and accessories for LGBTQ+ Pride Month.Videos have been shared on social media showing items from the retailer's collection in recent weeks.
One clip showed a T-shirt with the slogan "Trans people will always exist" and a baby garment featuring the words "Bien proud" in the colors of the LGBTQ+ flag.
It included a rainbow neck-pillow, multi-colored fairy-lights as well as a trans flag.There have also been photos that have been shared online of bathing suits sold at Target that include "tuck-friendly" tailoring and "extra crotch coverage."Target's clothing collection for Pride Month—which takes place every June—has provoked outrage on social media, with calls for the retailer to receive "the Bud Light treatment."Beer brand Bud Light has been embroiled in controversy since April, after it sent a commemorative can to transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to celebrate her first year of transitioning to a woman.
The move sparked calls for a boycott, and industry data shows sales of Bud Light have dramatically declined.Owens—who previously called Target "an openly perverted company"—has now addressed the furor in the latest episode of her Daily Wire show.She played a clip from former Target Vice-Chairman Gerald Storch's recent Fox News interview, in which he said that the inclusion the "tuck-friendly" swimwear was a "big mistake.""What's actually taking place in these boardrooms?" Owens said after the clip. "[The swimsuit] is a very weird thing to have made it out of the boardrooms, to have made it through all the executives.
