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.”

Walmart investing $425 million in Wuhan China over next 5 years.
Maybe they are investing in a BSL 4 lab
#13 that photo above #6 is a Walmart exec, maybe the ceo : )
I’ve never been to a Walmart. There’s actually not many in Los Angeles.
The only time to aologize is long before sen hawley or anyone objects. Just like tge only time to get behind Trump is long before he is inaugurated and before Jan 6th.
Senator cotton has no future if he, as sen from Arkansas where Walmart is based, does not get out on this today. This morning actually which is gone.
“What are YOU going to do about it?”
You should say, in detail, what you are going to do about it.
I’m not going to shop at Wal-Mart...is that enough detail?
Too late. Comey will have to start shopping at Walmart.
Chicom hubris.
I live a mile freon Walmart. I know the employees. It’s not at all what you think.
I can give details if you wish.
When PLA front company Lippo Group (bank) helped get Bill Clinton elected to Arkansas AG, Clinton almost immediately went after Sam Walton and Walmart.
The Chinese aggressively wanted, and got Bill Clinton to force Walmart to purchase everything from China.
The Chinese Government and Politburo have had a policy of ripping America blind for decades.
Too late, ya morons.
You’re in business to SELL stuff, not to preach your politics.
Open your damn mouth like that and you lose 1/2 your clientele..
Simple...
Did the fire the member of their social media team?!?!
If not they are not serious about anything
“I’m not going to shop at Wal-Mart...is that enough detail?”
That won’t accomplish anything but it still qualifies as a plan.
If the other 74,999,999 Trump voters would join me; it would be a hell of a plan. :-)
When you email Walmart customer service, it just goes to the stores. However, Walmart CEO Doug Mcmillon’s personal email is: doug.mcmillon@wal-mart.com
yeah Walmart
we remember you
you were the first national chain to give BLM 100 million dollars
you were the first national chain to mandate masks wearing
we hope you go the way of KMart
“If the other 74,999,999 Trump voters would join me; it would be a hell of a plan. :-)”
Most of whom voted for Romney, McCain, Bush 43, Dole, and
even maybe Bush 41 and Reagan so I don’t think they’ll go along.
But do what you feel is right. All big things started out with a small step! Take care.
I quit shopping there when they gave a zillion dollars to BLM and were the first retail chain to require masks
I sincerely hope they go the way of KMart
