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.
I don’t even see it on their feed. Do you?
A lot of the merchandise at Hobby Lobby is Chinese made because China is where a large percentage of the craft and home décor stuff is made. There’s no way around it as things currently stand. But Hobby Lobby hasn’t become PC or anti-Trump.
Thank you for posting that clarification, Gator. Of course if a conservative employee would have done this, they would’ve been fired, but I’m sure the idiot liberal who posted it will be just fine.
It’s damn hard to believe all these leftist corporations and politicos in D.C. continue to flood our country with Communist Chinese products.
It’s effing disgusting and extremely dangerous.
Was this guy fired?
Trump knows where Turtle stands. Hope he remembers it.
WalMart did not attack Josh Hawley for taking a stand on the fraudulent election. Now I can think of other reasons not to shop at WalMart but this is not one of them!
Some Freepers are so quick to jump off the handle with every fake headline. Need to settle down and adopt the 24 hour rule. Or at least an hour or so!
F CHYnaMart & others similar. Just went out and supported 3 small businesses already today. Another one for dinner.
Yeah our politicians and companies are bought by China.
This is very dangerous and I predict we WILL lose the senate over this.
“Hannity seems clueless “
Hannity is clueless about many things.
You’re dreaming.
WalMart prices are 25%, sometimes almost 50% cheaper for the same or similar products. I now use Publix only for its Danish Bakery and its deli....both of which are superior.

Yes. Pretty much my point!
Amazing how many followed off the cliff.
🙃
I hate to go to Walmart and be among the weirdos who shop there. There is a good reason why there’s a website called “WalmartPeople”. And why go there? To paw through shoddy Chinese goods? To be forced to go through TWO lines so security guards can look you over as though you’re a shoplifter? Yeah, they must get some very interesting clientele there. No thanks.
Since I NEVER shop at Walmart, I’m not affected by their political positions.
Well, there you have it!
Thanks TexasGator.
Only....it’s NOT their political position.
“Still going to go to Walmart...”
How can ANYONE go to such a DISGUSTING place? The next thing you’ll say is that you eat at McDonald’s.
Sick.
