Cruz explained that unlike the boycott of Bud Light, which has lasted for two months now, Target will likely pull through faster due to the lack of alternatives for shoppers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Dylan Mulvaney buys Barbie dolls and highlights \u201cDays of Girlhood.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Why would Bud Light promote someone whose content caters to young children? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JL9iNWRjUZ\">pic.twitter.com\/JL9iNWRjUZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Senator Ted Cruz (@SenTedCruz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenTedCruz\/status\/1661455655847317511?\">May 24, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Recently, both Target and Bud Light have been hit with major boycotts over their promotion of LGBTQ content.
