The heirs of late Walmart founder Sam Walton are backing Hillary Clinton for president.
Collectively, the leading members of Arkansas' Walton family have given about $714,000 to the candidate and the Democratic Party during the current election cycle, federal records show.
The donations are an example of the longstanding ties between the Walton and Clinton families. It is an awkward situation for the candidate, a former Walmart board member, since most of her allies in organized labor and the broader liberal movement detest the Waltons, mainly because of the company's anti-union stance.

Not surprising...she was on their Board.
Great Wall of Mart is dead to me ...... order almost everything online now if I need it. Walton’s can go suck a bag of donkey ....’. for all I care !
Hillary promises to get the money out of politics but only after she spends $2 billion getting there.
They also want to see that food stamp use continue to grow.
Wal-Mart is backing China you mean.
==
China for cheap products and Mexico for cheap labors and poor customers.
Of course they are...she is the party of WALLSTREET
and Trump is party of Wall Street!
Of course they are: cheap goods from China+cheap labor here.
We’re double boycotting them.
So that explains it!
Trump has to let the people know that the currency manipulators of China were protected from the power of the tariff by corrupt people in Washington DC. And those corrupt people in DC were bought and paid for by these types.
I remember the days this site swore by Wal-Mart.
Glad I never fell in love with that dump.
It’s obvious that Sam Walton’s descendants aren’t very bright. If she could, their princess would shut down every Walmart in the country. You can’t fix stupid and this bunch has to be the stupidest of the stupid.
Just another way to package a bribe.
On the scale of what the Waltons COULD donate, that's not a whole lot of money...I mean it's only six figures...
It's probably more like "give these grifters some money so they quit bugging us"...
I still swear by Walmart. When I need things I don’t have time to clip coupons, waste gas, or browse the Internet for deals. I work 2 jobs so I need to be in and out. I’m sure as Hell ain’t going to Target, where I’ll probably get molested in the bathroom by some makeup-wearing he-man.
They want to keep that Chicom slave-produced merchandise flowing to their stores. We will buy much less from Walmart after knowing how their money is spent.
stopped going in there as it is like a jerry Springer show anyway.
Just another reason to avoid Wal-mart at all costs.
Let’s see how Walmart likes the new $20 minimum wage under Hilly.
They need to sell their cheap Chink poison to Americans...
