It is true that Target had partnered with, and briefly sold, three items designed by Abprallen.
"Why would Target hire a Satanist to design their new Pride collection?" conservative influencer and Talking Point USA contributor Morgonn McMichael asked in a video shared on TikTokA part of the collection is this T-shirt that says"Cure transphobia, not trans people," this fanny pack that says"we belong everywhere," and […] a couple of other items.
But what really disturbs me is the fact that Target hired someone who is a satanist. This is spiritual warfare. This is good versus evil happening in our country. And this t-shirt right here says it all. Satan respects pronouns. The designer announced the partnership on May 9, 2023."I can now proudly announce that you can buy Abprallen in US Targets!" the designer posted."Part one of the range includes a messenger bag, a tote, and a sweatshirt!"for sale on Target's website, but, at the time of this reporting, were no longer listed. It is important to note, however, that no"satanic" products were part of Target's Pride collection.
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.
