Emboldened shoppers threaten Target workers over Pride Month items

Brandishing her own scissors in front of guest services in a Target store in south Florida, the customer chopped up her store credit card while lambasting the retail chain for carrying Pride Month merchandise. "I am never shopping here again," she warned.

This episode - recounted by an employee to supervisors - was just one of several tense encounters that workers have reported over LGBTQ+ items at the South Florida location, said the manager, who spoke on the condition of anonymity over fear of losing his job. Target is the latest brand to be engulfed in culture wars, as polarizing social issues spill into store aisles and shoppers become more emboldened to engage in confrontational, even threatening, behavior.

Though Pride Month and other inclusivity initiatives have been around for years, they've increasingly become litmus tests for consumers, forcing companies to fully commit on social issues or yield to critics.

Retailers such as Kohl's, Walmart and PetSmart have also felt backlash from the far right for stocking items that extol equal rights and acceptance for gay, lesbian and transgender individuals.

In Target's case, though, it has pulled its Pride merchandise and promotional materials back from store windows in recent days after a string of threats and harassment against employees. The move then sparked multiple bomb threats, targeting stores in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Utah, from people claiming to be angry about the removal of merchandise.

Trump 'Angry' For Not Being Invited To King Charles' Coronation; Biden Absence 'Disrespectful'

Former U. S. President Donald Trump might harbor ill will toward the British royals after he didn't receive an invitation to attend the upcoming coronation of King Charles III.

Jordan James, the chief executive officer of Unlocked PR, told the U. K. newspaper Express he expects Trump to be "hit hard" by the British royal family's apparent snub.

"With Trump valuing his 'connection' to the royals, he is no doubt feeling snubbed and angry by not being invited to the coronation," James said.

"It would only serve to embarrass the ex-President even more and highlight just how out of the loop he is even after his four years in office," the celebrity PR guru added.

But Trump's successor, President Joe Biden, has announced he would not attend King Charles' coronation. Instead, the White House said First Lady Jill Biden and a U. S. delegation would attend the historic British event on behalf of the president.

Biden has already called Charles last month to congratulate him on his upcoming coronation on Saturday, telling the 74-year-old British monarch he wanted to meet with him.

Trump criticized Biden's decision to skip the British coronation.

"Certainly, he should be here as our representative of our country," the former president said on "GB News," The Hill reported.

"I was very surprised, I think it's very disrespectful for him not to be here," Trump added.

Trump also suggested that Biden's absence at Charles' coronation could be due to his old age
