Megyn Kelly blasts Target over ‘tuck-friendly’ women’s swimsuits
Megyn Kelly has launched a scathing attack on retail giant Target, following its release of a new “PRIDE” collection of swimsuits for women. The SiriusXM podcast host was critical of the “extra material around the crotch,” which she deemed unnecessary, given that “women don’t have penises down south in Rio.” Kelly also criticised Target’s decision to partner with Abprallen, whose head has been linked to “satanist” ideology. Target CEO Brian Cornell was also criticised for his defence of the new range. “Look, the extra crotch wear and the tuck-friendly bathing suits are important,” Kelly sarcastically quoted him.
Target has come under fire on social media, with some calling for a boycott after the launch of the LGBTQ-friendly swimwear range. Misinformation has also been disseminated, with some social media users falsely claiming that the “tuck-friendly” swimwear was being marketed to children. Target has clarified that these items are intended for adults, and has announced the removal of some of the “PRIDE” collection from its stores, following confrontations between customers and workers.
