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."

That is what Benny Johnson is selling. He should have waited a day or so before posting his latest knee-jerk reaction video.
I would like to, however
I am a housebound disabled military veteran, and that store is the only one in the region that affords me a grocery delivery service.
There is no reason to boycott Wal-mart:
“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.”
We have the same issues. We do not get around well. Shopping is painful.
I find that man very annoying.
Not that I have any love for Walmart, for sure. I just believe in accuracy in reporting.
RINOS can be useful. Arlen Specter and John Danforth carried the ball for Clarence Thomas, as well as Allan Simpson, so that is their legacy and the good has outlived any harm
Plane crashes are one of Hitlery’s favorite methods of Arkancide. I have always wondered about John(boy) Waltons death.
“Not that I have any love for Walmart, for sure. I just believe in accuracy in reporting.”
So do I.
Christy Walton is older than I expected. At first when I read the headline, I was imagining a “woke” millennial who was indoctrinated at Harvard.
Money doesn’t guarantee brains.
I bet she keeps the trophy by the bed.
This is a “non-news” worthy moment, IIMHO...
This rich woman is irrelevant...
Does not have Sam’s bloodlines...
“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.”
That’s bull sh*t
