Walmart apologized to GOP Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday after a tweet from its official account called the Missouri lawmaker a “sore loser.”
The retailer blamed a member of its social media team for the since-deleted snarky tweet, saying the employee had intended to send it from their personal account.
Earlier Wednesday, Hawley tweeted a statement announcing he would object to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory at the Electoral College certification process in the Senate on Jan. 6.
Walmart responded to the tweet, writing: “Go ahead. Get your 2 hour debate. #SoreLoser.”
Hawley, a rising star in the GOP, fired back, attacking the company’s labor practices.
“Thanks @Walmart for your insulting condescension. Now that you’ve insulted 75 million Americans, will you at least apologize for using slave labor?” he wrote.
“Or maybe you’d like to apologize for the pathetic wages you pay your workers as you drive mom and pop stores out of business.”
Walmart issued a swift mea culpa in response to Hawley, tweeting, “The tweet published earlier was mistakenly posted by a member of our social media team. We deleted the post and have no intention of commenting on the subject of certifying the electoral college. We apologize to Senator Hawley for this error and any confusion about our position.”

“saying the employee had intended to send it from their personal account.”
What a load of crap.
I’m sure walmart can talk about this retraction of their anti-American hate on foxnews.
But then again almost no one will hear it and those that do, won’t care.
Personal account. Sure
If it was an error, why didn’t the employee delete it?
Walmart has gotten richer thru the lockdowns while independent retsilers/competition closed for good
All of Sam Waltons children are Libtards. Nuff Said
Walmart. Hillary’s former employer
Man...did Bannon just f****** TORCH Wal-Mart and Senator Cotton on ‘War Room’. Did you miss it? TOO BAD! Catch the podcast or the archived show on YouTube.
Bannon just posted Wal-Mart’s customer service contact info on his show...hate to be the flunky on the other end of that phone line right now. Epic and searing rant from Bannon...
Funny WM didn’t say “We fired that loser’s sorry ass on the spot and we hope President Trump prevails.”
It IS really good, isn’t it? Took them to the woodshed.
Wal-Mart just called 75 MILLION Trump supporters SORE LOSERS! What are YOU going to do about it?
I agree. The person referred to the “two hour debate”. That level of detail is not widely known. This was from a political liberal versed in the process. I guess Wal Mart is trying to replace Fox News with their social media department.
Between Tractor Supply, Ace Hardware, Two local grocery chains and several local pharmacies, I don’t have to set foot in another Walmart, and I don’t plan to.

Exactly!!!
Did you hear Bannon War Room at five today? He was jumping on WM and praising Hawley.
Besides, you can get your horse paste at Tractor Supply, but not at Walmart.
