Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse.
While the "No Kings Day" ad did not mention President Donald Trump by name, its emphasis on values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump's foreign policy and "America First" agenda.
A spokesperson for Walmart told Newsweek: "The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision making at Walmart."

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Ray Kroc's(McDonald's mogul and conservative) widow a big lib.
The Heinz fortune was similarly highjacked by John Kerry.
Screw Walmart. I can get almost everything I need from Menards. Yes Kings!
Its not enough just to sit back and enjoy your $$billions.
why does leftist politics attract so many of these people?
Or is it a form of self-protection?
So, when are the far-lefties going to rename all of the Martin Luther KING Blvds located all over the nation under their new “No Kings” Freak Show. And will Sean King still be able to be a psuedo-negro?
A common template (recall Teresa Heinz) which makes a conservative woman all the more precious and valued.
It’s the knee-jerk “Don’t hate me and take all my stuff” position of billionaires.
(Unless they’re still racking up federal contracts and someone like Trump is back in office.)
Leftist ideology must be crushed. I am all for freedom of ideas and thought, but one has to draw the line.
I’d say a form of self protection.
It’s usually folks like this funding the destruction of the country. These enemies domestic should have their terrorism supporting funds sanctioned and seized.
But that won’t happen because a good chunk of their funding actually goes to the campaigns of Congressmen.
This ad as well as the riots have been planner for a long while. There is a riot set for every major city in the coming weekend. The LA riot last weekend is just to set context. ICE has been doing raids for 3 months. Last weekend was no different. But now there was a riot just like the George Floyd riots. George was not killed. He was not a good person. The riots set the stage for a summer of riots. Its all an act. CNN and MSNBC will tell you this is about Trump or ICE. Its not. Its about taking control of the cities and creating a movement.
Remember there is lots of coordination. There is lots of money. This is not grass roots. Its planned. There are logos, and slogan, There are hundreds of organizations who are planning regular protests. There are hundreds of antifa units hiding in these protests ready to take their skate boards and smash windows and cars and heads. Many of these units have college professors and public school teachers along with hard criminals. They aren’t even immigrants.
The guys riding bikes and waving Mexican and Palestinian flags are not from Mexico or Palestine. They are white school teachers in masks. Who have all summer to sow damage.
This is a show.
I avoid Walmart if at all possible. The place is a mess, nasty and full of third world germ factories...............
Exactly similar to the role Teresa Heinz played at Heinz foods… zero! She just spends the money left by her husband. She had nothing to do with the Heinz corporation.
I’ve been more or less boycotting them for several years.
Get my groceries at Aldi’s and shop Kroger for sales.
As for other stuff, a bit of Menard’s for stuff that doesn’t ship well and the rest on Amazon.
The most dangerous place on Earth may be a Walmart parking lot on the first of the month.
I’m not talking about weapons, just crazy drivers willing to take a life for a prime parking spot.
Heinz widow too...I don’t need walmart....screw em
This is what happens when you have too many idle rich in this country.
Walmart should be on the receiving end of the same kind of direct action they sponsor.
I WILL NOT be boycotting Wal-Mart. Boycotting will not hurt Christy Walton, she is a billionaire. So her shares/stock goes down, big whoop. The only people hurt will be employees and vendors. We wouldn’t be telling that Leftest woman anything.
Ray crocs wife gave 1/2 the McDonald’s fortune to the salvation army after his death. Trying to make ammends for ray being the ruthless a hole he was.
