Lawmakers from both the Republican and Democratic parties have recently spoken about Target's woke controversy. Last month, the company encountered some backlash for rolling back some of its Pride merchandise. Rural Target stores in South Carolina, Arkansas, and Georgia relocated their Pride sections after consumer backlash, according to a Target insider who spoke to Fox News Digital. LGBT groups, such as the National Black Justice Coalition, were not happy with the relocation and voiced their disappointment. Republican Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul spoke out against corporations targeting children.

Rubio told Fox News Digital that although companies have the freedom to express themselves however they desire, consumers are going to react. In the Target controversy, families were being bombarded with Pride month stuff and products designed specifically for children. Most Americans would say that adults can do whatever they want in the privacy of their own homes. However, using corporate power to market things to children will not be well-received. Particularly in parts of the country where people feel strongly about certain issues.

The Senator said that the most offensive thing to him was that Target is stepping back from it because of threats to their safety, while consumers are very upset about the situation. Rubio pointed out that he is not a fan of what corporations are doing, sexualizing children with all kinds of bizarre notions, and says that kids need to be left alone and allowed to grow up healthy. He also questions why major companies appear to be so obsessed with focusing on children and using schools to target them.
