The Republican explained that Target is more unique and not as easily as replaceable as Anheuser Busch brands, which specialize in light lagers.
Cruz applauded other conservatives for their quick response but appeared skeptical that the boycott could be sustained.He compared Target to Disney, which suffered backlash after speaking out against Florida’s so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law last year, but continues to be a financial giant.
“You can be annoyed at Disney but if your kids really want to go to Disney World, that can be hard to say no to. There are not a lot of alternatives. There’s Six Flags but Disney World is a pretty unique offering,” Cruz said. “There’s only one Snow White or Cinderella or Toy Story from Pixar. That is a difficult product for many people to give up permanently.”
Target suffered a $9 billion deficit in just one week thanks to boycotts after unveiling its “PRIDE” line.Additionally, the Texas politician said the efforts against Target could quickly wilt because “historically, conservatives have typically been not very good at boycotts.
“That’s a good thing for those of us that would like companies just to get back to selling their damn products and keep their idiotic politics out of our lives.”
