Update (1520ET): Out of left field, Walmart decided to pick a fight with Sen. Josh Hawley, calling him a "sore loser" in a tweet written by an unknown "member of the social media team" over his announcement challenging the Electoral College certification.
"Go ahead. Get your 2 hour debate," wrote Walmart, with the hashtag #soreloser.
"Thanks @Walmart for your insulting condescension," shot back the Missouri Republican, adding "Now that you’ve insulted 75 million Americans, will you at least apologize for using slave labor?"
Hawley followed it up with "Or maybe you’d like to apologize for the pathetic wages you pay your workers as you drive mom and pop stores out of business."

Walmart later apologized, saying in a follow-up tweet "The tweet published earlier was mistakenly posted by a member of our social media team. We deleted 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."
Did someone forget to switch back to their personal account?
So @Walmart's position on slave labor is unchanged? https://t.co/TXlRlouLCC — Disclose.tv 🚨 (@disclosetv) December 30, 2020

Update (1250ET): Two more lawmakers have joined Hawley with planned objections to the count during the January 6 vote. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-TN) and Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) are also planning to object, according to Bloomberg, along with Rep. Marjorie Greene (R-GA).

That said, it may be all for nothing if rumors are true Pelosi and McConnell are working together to change the rules and block objections.
Word on the Hill is that Mitch McConnell and Nancy Pelosi could be working together on a rules change "deal" to block our Electoral College Certification objection.

Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,
Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said he will object during the counting of the Electoral College vote process on Jan. 6, becoming the first senator to confirm they are joining an effort launched by more than a dozen House Republicans.
“I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on Jan. 6 without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws,” Hawley wrote in a statement on Monday.
“And I cannot vote to certify without pointing out the unprecedented effort of mega-corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden,” he added.
Hawley said that Congress should investigate voter fraud allegations and make sure that future elections are secure. According to the Missouri Republican, both chambers have failed to act in an appropriate manner.
“For these reasons,” Hawley continued, “I will follow the same practice Democrat members of Congress have in years past and object during the certification process on Jan. 6 to raise these critical issues.”
Hawley noted that Democrats objected during the 2004 and 2016 elections “in order to raise concerns” about election integrity. “They were praised by Democratic leadership and the media when they” objected, Hawley added, saying that they “were entitled to do so” and Republicans concerned about election integrity in the Nov. 3 election “are entitled to do the same.”

For the past several weeks, Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) and other House GOP lawmakers have pledged to object to the counting of the Electoral College votes during the Joint Session of Congress. Their effort requires a senator and a House member that would trigger a series of debates before a vote on whether to certify a state’s Electoral College votes is held.
Some members of the GOP leadership, including Majority Whip John Thune (R-S.D.), have said their efforts are doomed to fail. And over the past weekend, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), in comments widely publicized by news outlets, referred to Brooks’s effort as “a scam.”
And, according to anonymously sourced reports, Senate Majority Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told GOP senators that they should not take part in the House GOP-led effort on Jan. 6. Another Republican, Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), said the attempt to challenge the votes is an improbable one.
“It’s basically going through the motions,” Cornyn said, reported The Hill.
“It’s a futile exercise.”
But Brooks, for his part, indicated that “dozens” of House members back the effort. “We’re going to sponsor and co-sponsor objections to the Electoral College vote returns,” Brooks told Fox News on Dec. 28.
In a previous interview with The Epoch Times’ American Thought Leaders program, Brooks said he believes the Electoral College vote can be rejected, and the election can ultimately be decided in the House of Representatives.
Former California Sen. Barbara Boxer “tried to strike Ohio for George Bush back in 2005, so this is not unusual,” Brooks said in an interview with Fox Business on Dec. 15. “The law is very clear, the House of Representatives in combination with the United States Senate has the lawful authority to accept or reject Electoral College vote submissions from states that have such flawed election systems that they’re not worthy of our trust.”
The new Congress is slated to be sworn in on Jan. 3.

Exactly. But if they were going to then they would have done it. So my guess is that we are dealing with a progressive liberal who a lot of influence in the company. And they are not going anywhere.
Then you need to fire his or her ass, that's what I want to see posted.
You buy more stuff yankee. China make good thing for you. Make you proud. You go buy now!
I guess they didn’t want to use the “We were hacked!” excuse.
No problem whatsoever.
Now, Walmart must clarify its position on using slave labor. Yes, Walmart, how does it feel to profit from the labor of human slaves? Does Walmart approve of slavery? If not, they need to divest themselves from profiting from it.
How about paying pitiful wages to hard working employees? These employees are working hard and Walmart is treating them like slaves paying barely subsistence wages.
How about all the mom and pop business Walmart has destroyed and the historic downtowns Walmart has caused to become dilapidated?
Walmart must answer serious questions, a “my bad” won’t do.
They’ll get a stern “wink and a nod”.
Word is if they do. They will be dragged out from their safe places and taken care of with extreme prejudice.
Lol!
Nice social media counter-punching Hawley! I’d say he gave better than he got.
More corrupt oligarchs who have stripped middle-class America and small business bare with lock-downs
