As retailer Target sees its stock plummeting and sales dropping in the midst of a boycott over its recently announced pro-transgender bathroom policy, the company’s CEO is insisting the weather is the cause of falling sales, not the company’s bathroom policy.
In a recent Wall Street Journal interview, Target CEO Brian Cornell pegged the downturn in the company’s fortunes to the cold weather as opposed to anything the company itself is doing or not doing.
“It’s been a very wet and cold start to the year and it’s reflected in our sales,” Cornell told the paper. “We haven’t seen anything from a structural standpoint that gives us pause.”
In other words, the weather is responsible for the downturn, not Target’s “structural” transgender bathroom policy.

Denial - not just that river in Egypt!
Now there's a CEO just trying to hang on to his job. He's a goner.
Another liberal making excuses for bad decisions. What is he going to say at the end of the summer. "It's been too hot for people to shop"? Selling clothing is a small part of their business. Let me guess that they are loosing sales on everything else as well.
HAHA!
What an idiot.
Yes the specter of Climate Change. Yeah thats the problem. Morons.
Climate change is affecting his head.
Weather my foot, we know it's because of their stupid bathroom policy. Close your doors and move on back to France.
