Target loses $12B in 14 days: Retail giant's market cap plummets after longest losing streak in FIVE YEARS
Target shares fell 3.66 percent on Tuesday, resulting in the retail store losing $2.4billion in market capitalization
Conservatives and moderates alike have been boycotting Target since it was revealed last week that the retailer was selling clothes with LGBTQ-friendly slogans like 'Trans People Will Always Exist!', 'gay', and 'Live Laugh Lesbian.'
Some have accused the chain of grooming children, pointing to a tweet that purports to show a 'tuck-friendly' girls' bathing suit with 'extra crotch coverage.'
Several stores in the rural South have now reportedly hidden and toned down the Pride sections, and staff members at Target headquarters are said to have held an 'emergency' meeting to avoid what one insider called a 'Bud Light situation.'
In a statement last week, Target - led by CEO Brian Cornell - announced the company had pulled some items it had received complains about, specifying that they have 'been at the center of the most confrontational behavior.'
'Since introducing this year's collection, we've experienced threats impacting our team members' sense of safety and wellbeing while at work,' the firm said in its 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.'
The company did not specify which items had been taken off shelves. But as of Sunday, many of the swimsuits, onesies and t-shirts that sparked outrage remain available online.
