   Target shoppers fuming over the retailer’s LGBTQ merchandise — including   
   “tuck-friendly” swimwear — have stormed some stores to tear down Pride   
   signs, badger workers and even leave a case of Bud Light alongside the   
   offending items.   
      
   The Minneapolis-based chain — which has lost $9 billion in the last week   
   following boycott calls over LGBTQ-friendly kids clothing — has announced   
   it will remove some of the offending items partly due to their workers’   
   safety fears.   
      
   The online fury spilling over into the aisles includes one MAGA hat-   
   wearing provocateur who was filmed ripping down a “#TakePride” sign from a   
   clothing rack of LGBTQ apparel.   
      
   Ethan Schmidt — a 24-year-old far-right internet personality who   
   previously made headlines for his off-color remarks — is seen tossing the   
   rainbow-colored sign to the floor before stomping on it and kicking it in   
   the 19-second clip.   
      
   Another self-proclaimed patriot and activist, Scott LoBaido, filmed   
   himself on Wednesday at a Staten Island Target location shouting:   
   “Memorial Day weekend, where is the display supporting and showing homage   
   to the men and women of the military?”   
      
   “There’s a couple of little ‘Made in China’ pieces of s–t here,” he adds,   
   pointing to a small, three-shelf section with red, white and blue   
   paraphernalia.   
      
   “In November, do we get a veterans display that says ‘Proud to be a   
   veteran’? No, we do not,” LoBaido says before a Target employee approaches   
   and asks him to stop screaming.   
      
   “I just talk loud,” LoBaido replied, going on to increase his volume: “Get   
   rid of the kids’ s–t that doesn’t belong in here. You cater to 0.1%.   
   You’re going to go down like Budweiser!”   
      
   One Target shopper provided a more cheeky protest, placing a case of Bud   
   Light in a rack promoting Pride items — a reference to the beer brand’s   
   ill-fated partnership with trans social media star Dylan Mulvaney.   
      
   “Completed the Target display,” wrote one Twitter user after a photo was   
   posted to the social media site.   
      
   The Post reached out to Target for comment.   
      
   The retail giant has been forced to backtrack over its Pride collection   
   just a week after CEO Brian Cornell dismissed the uproar, saying the   
   products are good for business and “the right thing for society.”
