The retail giant has lost $13 billion in value in its stock price in recent weeks after unveiling a &#8220;Pride&#8221; collection that included &#8220;gender neutral&#8221; clothing for adults and children. Some of the products Target featured were made by the LGBTQ brand Abprallen, whose designer wears a &#8220;Satan respects pronouns&#8221; shirt in a photo on his Instagram.<\/p>\n<h3>NDN Collective&#8217;s Left-Wing Causes<\/h3>\n<p>NDN Collective has promoted several left-wing causes, including shuttering the iconic American landmark, Mount Rushmore. The group has called the &#8220;very existence&#8221; of Mount Rushmore &#8220;a symbol of white supremacy&#8221; since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mario-kart-and-early-bedtimes-these-6-headlines-show-the-medias-worship-of-the-biden-administration\/\" title=\"\u2018Mario Kart\u2019 And \u2018Early Bedtimes\u2019: These 6 Headlines Show The Media\u2019s Worship Of The Biden Administration\">national memorial<\/a> in the Black Hills of South Dakota \u2014 with the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln carved into the mountainside \u2014 is set on &#8220;stolen Lakota land.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;NDN Collective for the closure of the national monument indefinitely,&#8221; said a press release, which was posted in July 2020 before then-President Donald Trump visited Mt. Rushmore in celebration of Independence Day.<\/p>\n<p>The organization also condemns militarization &#8220;as a pathway for exploitation and destruction of Indigenous communities within the so-called United States,&#8221; according to its website. NDN Collective has also launched a campaign called &#8220;LANDBACK&#8221; which demands America give up its public land.<\/p>\n<h3>Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom Calls Out Target<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear how much Target gave to NDN. When Target responded to backlash last month by pulling some of the items from its stores, Democratic governor Gavin Newsom (Calif.) called out the brand and said it was &#8220;selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Target&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/5-recent-hollywood-controversies-show-how-lefts-moral-authority-is-a-sham\/\" title=\"5 Recent Hollywood Controversies Show How Left's Moral Authority Is a Sham\">recent controversies<\/a> have sparked outrage among many Americans, and it remains to be seen how the company will respond to the mounting pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Target faces criticism for donating to NDN Collective, an organization that called for closing Mount Rushmore due to its links to &#8220;white supremacy.&#8221; The retailer has already lost billions of dollars in value due to backlash over its LGBT merchandise.
