Just days after Target removed Pride items from its shelves in response to anti-LGBT backlash, Kohl’s is facing similar manufactured fury.
Some conservatives up in arms over Koehl’s Pride clothing for kids, like onesies and a multicolored tutu both honoring Pride Month.
The onesies were specifically in the crosshairs on Twitter and on Kohl’s site, with Benny Johnson asking
Why is Kohl’s selling “Pride Merch” for 3 month old babies?”

This latest faux outrage comes after conservatives also boycotted Bud Light for inviting transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney to promote the brand on Instagram and backlash against The North Face for their drag queen ad featuring Pattie Gonia.
Angered right-wingers have flooded Kohl’s with one-star reviews screaming,
Just leave kids alone with this indoctrination!!!”
Um, would someone please tell me, WHO exactly is this hurting? Are 3 month old toddlers crying over words they can’t read?
Hey, I’m not exactly thrilled with babies wearing Confederate flag onesies, but you don’t see me yelling about it on Twitter.
