Angry man rants that Target is “destroying masculinity” with rainbows on boys’ t-shirts

And he said it all while sporting a pink shirt.

A far-right, anti-“woke” activist recently posted a video of himself lambasting Target for “destroying masculinity” because of rainbows on boys’ t-shirts.

The man runs an apparel company called Stand Up Now that sells t-shirts with anti-trans messages, along with ones with phrases like, “Bring back God” and “Parents Rights Matter.”

And Radcliffe has teamed up with the Trevor Project to help trans youth raise their voices.

In the Target video, he wears an anti-trans shirt and stands in the boys’ section of the store. He holds up three different t-shirts, one with trucks, one with dinosaurs, and one with a cloud. He’s pissed, he explains, because all three shirts also include rainbows.

Then he holds up the final straw: a light pink shirt with a shark smiling against a colorful backdrop.

“They’re destroying masculinity!” he claims. “Guys, it’s time to stand up this wokeness. We need to stand up as parents and leaders and fathers.”

Twitter, of course, had a field day mocking this rant – and the fact that he was wearing a pink shirt himself.
