US retailer Target is facing public backlash, including criticism from Senator Tom Cotton, over an LGBTQ+ merchandising campaign that allegedly targets children and features a “satanist” brand.

“Even by the standards of woke corporations, Target’s partnership with a satanist to push the trans agenda on children is remarkable,” the Republican Arkansas senator said on Tuesday in a Twitter post. “The next time Target comes begging for help, Republicans should respond, ‘Best of luck.’”

The Minneapolis-based retailer has removed some of its most controversial ‘Pride Month’ merchandise, citing “confrontational behavior” that allegedly put its employees at risk of harm. Target claimed that customers knocked down Pride displays at some stores and posted threatening videos on social media.

“Since introducing this year’s collection, we’ve experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being while at work,” the company said on Wednesday in a statement. “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.”

Target held an emergency meeting on Friday to deal with the backlash, reportedly to address safety concerns and avoid a devastating boycott like the one targeting Bud Light beer over a promotion featuring transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney. The company ordered some managers to move Pride merchandise away from the front of their stores and remove large signage.
