In what is almost an unbelievable turn of events, even for this horrible year of 2020, the official Twitter account for WalMart just outright attacked GOP Senator Josh Hawley today.
After Senator Hawley became the first GOP senator to make it known that he will object to the January 6 certification of the Electoral vote, WalMart weighed in with a response that reads “Go ahead. Get your 2-hour debate. #soreloser”.

That a major corporation would weigh in on a political issue with a partisan political response is no surprise. We see that happening all the time.
The surprise here is that the partisan political response comes not from some Big Tech firm, but from WalMart, a retail chain of mega-stores that appeal largely to America’s lower middle class shoppers, a very large chunk of which makes up a very large chunk of the support base of Donald J. Trump.
WalMart’s decision to take this hyper-partisan stance on this crucial issue now gives Trump supporters a prime opportunity to extract some accountability from this major retailer by engaging in a simple boycott. While boycotts on media outlets like CNN and MSNBC are completely ineffective, given that such media outlets don’t want to attract conservative viewers and only serve as loss-leaders for their giant corporate umbrellas, a boycott of a profit-motivated retailer such as WalMart by 75 million Americans would likely be extremely effective.
Making Wal-Mart an even more prime target for such a boycott is the fact that it is a company that sources roughly 70-80% of its products not from U.S. suppliers, but from China:

So, all you Trump supporters, listen up: If you currently include WalMart or Sam’s Clubs among your regular shopping routine, the time has come to cross it off your list. You have never been handed a more prime opportunity to extract a little accountability from any major corporation.
Just do it.
That is all.
This is the Chinese line...their masters.
I wonder if Target misses me yet?
Still going to go to Walmart and Aldi and Kohls and Target and Tjs and Lowes and Home Depot and my local supermarkets. All these places provide jobs for the community.
NEVER happen. Should, but it won’t.
Don’t boycott them. Use them. Get what you need now while you have time. It’ll all shut down soon enough.
Well...I’d have to drive another 50 miles to get to a different store, and would have no guarantee THAT store doesn’t play politics.
“The tweet was mistakenly posted by a member of our social media team who intended to publish this comment to their personal account,” a Walmart spokesperson told TheWrap. “We have removed 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.”
OK.
WM is the only place I can shop for many items....will have to drive fifty mile.
I’ll just use Amazon for all my shopping
Hannity seems clueless about Walmart’s move to the left in the past few years.
You’re a bit late.
WM was crossed off the list back in the Clinton years.
Also Sams, Costco, Target, Kroger, Kohls, Amazon, etc.
I believe the Salvation Army Thrift Store is the only remaining national retail entity not on the FR boycott list.
Walmart IS China.
They probably didn't. The dweeb they hired to run their Twitter account took it upon himself to do it - and will likely be fired.
After January 6th Walmart, Biden and the Democrats will be the sore losers.
I suspect that Wal-Mart will have the post removed and then offer an “apology” of sort, saying that this was written by an employee who acted alone and w/o corporate approval. They’ll then say they were “sorry” to Hawley.
Communist China, BLM, and AntiFa thank you for your most generous contribution.

Walmart is going all in on being the online competition to Amazon. They think for that to succeed they need to get onboard the global Deep State express.
So they throw sovereign America under the bus.
Can you please post direct link to this “Walmart” tweet? I looked on their official feed and cannot find it.
Thanks.
