Venture capitalist and “Shark Tank” television personality Kevin O'Leary said that part of Target’s recent multibillion-dollar stock plunge is about investors sending a “Get woke, go broke” message to corporations which chase progressive social and political agendas.

Target’s stock price has taken a beating amid conservative backlash over the company’s decision to sell LGBT-themed items and clothing.
