AP Called Out For Claim That Target Staff Were Subject To “Violent Confrontations” Over Trans/Pride Products
AP stealth edits article after making claim that conservatives were responsible for violence against store staff
The Associated Press has been forced into quietly editing an article that repeated a statement from Target claiming that the company’s staff have been threatened, with the newswire adding a baseless claim that there have been “violent confrontations” over huge collections of ‘Pride’ and transgender themed apparel in stores, including some with Satanist imagery.
It’s been the story of the week. Here’s the backdrop…
As we highlighted yesterday, Target was clear in pointing out that it isn’t removing the stuff because it’s Satanist and pushing sexualisation and gender ideology on kids, but rather because they have “experienced threats impacting our team members’ sense of safety and well-being.”
The AP took it further, however, claiming that Target has seen “intense backlash from some customers including violent confrontations with its workers.”
The report was altered without notification after it was challenged by Katrina Trinko, the editor-in-chief of the Daily Signal. While the confrontations claim remains, the word “violent” has been removed.
It now reads “Target said that customers knocked down Pride displays at some stores, angrily approached workers and posted threatening videos on social media from inside the stores.”
Pointing out the deception, Trinko writes “Again, what are the specifics? What is a threatening video?” further demanding to know “What constitutes angrily approaching a worker? How many customers at how many stores knocked down Pride displays?”
It appears that one video surfaced of one person taking a part of a pride display and throwing it on the ground, which prompted gay Democratic California State Senator Scott Wiener to label it “terrorism”:
Trinko comments that it is not acceptable “for Target and the media to imply violence if there in fact isn’t violence,” adding “That’s not a light accusation.”
Trinko also notes “Asked about why the word ‘violent’ was removed and no correction or editor’s note appended, and whether The Associated Press still believed the word ‘violent’ was accurate, Lauren Easton, vice president of communications, replied by email: ‘As AP continued to report out the story, we were able to provide more specific examples of the incidents that took place and we updated the story accordingly.'”
In other words, ‘our bullshit was called out and we tried to quietly memory hole it.’
Trinko continues, “insinuating conservatives are dangerous and a genuine threat to the safety of others is merely a new tactic for companies and ideologues impacted by conservative boycotts.”
“This is the Left testing out a new playbook. They’re frightened by what’s happening to Bud Light, which continues to grapple with massive declines in sales. Leftist activists know that having corporations side with them and promote leftist values is crucial to their long-term success,” Trinko further urges.
Meanwhile, a real (non-terroristic) boycott is impacting Target, with the company seeing a $9.3 billion decrease in market capitalization, as the value of its shares fell more than 12.6% in one week.
Conservative commentator Greg Price obtained an internal Target email that indicates the company is now desperately trying to shift away from one woke campaign, instead replacing it with another.
The email states “Yesterday was a very hard day for Target, and as CEO Brian Cornell said, thank you for the care you’ve shown each other, our frontline teams, and the LGBTQIA+ community.”
It goes on to state “Today brings more reflection, pain and the need for continued care as our team, hometown and world remember the murder of George Floyd.”
The rest of the email betrays how infested with woke culture the company has become:
“As you make space to take care of yourself and each other, know that you can always tap into these tools from Team Member LIfe Resources, and as Mental Health Awareness Month continues, turn to Take Five to Take Care hub for more wellbeing support,” it states.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton noted how Target initially doubled down on it’s Pride/trans/satanist merch, then attacked its own customers while quickly back peddling and pulling or scaling back the stuff.

Author Of ‘Gender Queer’ Book Found In Schools Says “I Don’t Recommend This Book For Kids”
“‘Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children”
The author of the book titled ‘Gender Queer’, one of the controversial LGBTQ+ materials featuring explicit images that has cropped up again and again in schools has stated that the book is not meant to be available for young children.
Maia Kobabe, who identifies as non-binary told the Washington Post that her book is aimed at “older teens,” not kindergarten aged kids.
“It keeps being called a children’s book … but I think that’s coming from a misreading of the comic-book form. ‘Gender Queer’ is a comic, and in full color, but that doesn’t mean it’s for children,” Kobabe stated.
“I originally wrote it for my parents, and then for older teens who were already asking these questions about themselves. I don’t recommend this book for kids!” she said in the interview published last week.
The comments come after GOP Senator John Kennedy read aloud graphic excerpts during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing:
Kennedy read “I got a new strap-on harness today. I can’t wait to put it on you. It will fit my favorite dildo perfectly. You’re going to look so hot. I can’t wait to have your c**k in my mouth. I’m going to give you the blow job of your life. Then I want you inside of me.”
“The words you spoke are disturbing, especially coming out of your mouth, it’s very disturbing,” Illinois Secretary of State Alexander Giannoulias told Kennedy in response.
The book is one of several that have prompted outrage and protests among parents as it features graphic illustrations of sex between two men, use of sex toys, oral sex, and masturbation, among other things.
Passages from the book have been read out by parents during school board meetings, in some cases leading to them being shut down and asked to leave.
The Gender Queer book was also cited by Chelsea Clinton in tweets defending the use of such material in schools:

Austin-based online job search platform, “Indeed,” aims to ‘out woke’ corporate America by offering transgender employees or those with transgender children a $10,000 relocation payment. Both Bloomberg and Axios confirmed the relocation payment program.
Before we discuss relocation payments, it’s important to note that Indeed proudly states on its website that it had the wokest corporate policies in America in 2018. It said its 2018 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey and report on corporate policies and practices related to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) workplace equality, score “received a perfect score of 100 percent.”
For some context, CEI is administered by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world. HRC has received millions of dollars in funding from George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
Indeed’s executives appear to have one objective in mind: rank the highest on the CEI index this year (we all remember earlier this year what happened to Bud Light when they tried that on TikTok). One way execs are attempting to achieve a high score is to offer a relocation program to trans workers, cutting them a $10,000 check to cover ‘travel-related expenses’ out of conservative states (or areas where they don’t feel comfortable) to safer grounds.
“While Indeed introduced the program to its employees in July, until now, the company has not discussed it publicly,” Bloomberg said.
Indeed provided further details about the program to Axios:
- It’s for US-based employees and immediate family members who seek gender-affirming care and live in a location where state laws or government-issued directives criminalize or restrict access to such medical care.
- It also applies to those who live in places that attempt to restrict support for children who are gender non-conforming, transgender or non-binary.
- Eligible employees will receive approval to relocate to a state or jurisdiction where they will be able to access the care and support they need, as well as a $10,000 flat-rate benefit to support their relocation expenses.
None of this comes as a surprise given Indeed’s mission since 2018 has been to ‘out woke’ corporate America in its pursuit of a high CEI score. But why?
Some netizens were confused by Indeed’s move considering the Bud Light backlash earlier this year after a white privileged liberal executive believed the brewer was time for a change. However, its customer base thought otherwise, nuking the beer as demand has since crashed.
“Kinda weird that companies never did stuff like this for black people or disabled people,” one netizen asked.
Another asked, “Does Indeed offer any relocation money for women who live in particularly misogynistic states? Of course not. “
Someone else pointed out:
We wonder if Indeed will have an increase in the number of trans workers trying to capitalize on the free money.
