Walmart could face a MAGA boycott after White House Special Advisor Kari Lake called out the chain's heiress, Christy Walton , for paying for a full-page, anti-Trump "No Kings" protest advertisement in the New York Times .
The ad in Sunday's edition of The Times by the No Kings movement, a grassroots political campaign that accuses President Donald Trump of attacking civil rights, urged Americans to "mobilize" and protest on June 14, the same day Trump is staging a military parade in Washington. The ad lists the movement's eight principles, including support for veterans, children, and democratic values.
"The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale," it reads, noting the views are those of Walton.
The website, linked to the ad by QR code, promises there will be more than 1,800 coordinated non-violent protests across the country, showing a map of where.
Reacting to the ad, Lake took to X on Tuesday to ask followers: "Do you shop at Walmart?"

Though Walton holds an estimated $19.3 billion fortune and retains a 1.9% stake in Walmart, the company was quick to distance itself.
Speaking with Forbes, Walmart spokesperson Joe Pennington said: "The advertisement from Christy Walton [is] in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart."
He added that she has no active role in company decisions.

Good luck boycotting Walmart.
The Trump military dictatorship can brook no dissent !!!!!
I just remembered I need to do some grocery shopping this weekend.
Walmart could face a MAGA boycott
Real important story...
What does she think she's calling out? The ad is non-controversial and wholly pro-America.
Just more evidence that MAGA is anti-America, anti-republic, and the actual "enemy within."
To be clear, the "calling out" assertion came from Mediaite. It's a phrase much more commonly used on the left anyway.
The tweet merely calls attention to the ad.
Given the exceedingly small overlap between NY Times readers and Walmart shoppers, the ad probably would have gone completely unnoticed.
It still might.
You're right, when she asked her followers on X if they shop at Walmart she was just taking a poll. /s
She's attention-whoring.
That's how 3rd tier quasi celebrities pay the bills.
as you note Dig the message of the ad seems pretty patriotic.
If only she had changed the words "We" to "He" she would have avoided the wrath of Kari Lake.
But then that would have been a lie
But then they'd lose all these customers!!!
That last one is clearly a Trump fan as she's wearing a "Trump Hair" beret.
maybe she was buying a belt
I think that's a guy
you're probably right
A Kamala clone who got where she was by sleeping with a rich dude. i almost care what she thinks.

I love how people make shit up around here
Christy Walton married a actual Walton, She isn't a member of the family, and honestly is kind of stupid, that's why the other actual Waltos are worth 100 billion plus and she has managed the money she got from her husband all the way up to....less than 20 million.
I wouldn't know but i will defer to your knowledge on it.
You have a link for that cuz all I can find is a worth in the billions (19) and as to her inheritance she gave half to her son?
Now back to reality ... why do you dislike women so much George?
Like Melania did? Do you ever think before posting?
I don't see anyone holding Melania up as someone whose opinion matters on anything like the liberal fucktards do for Chrissy, this low functioning idiot gave 30 grand to the Lincoln project, no wonder she blew the money she had, she buys stupid things.
BFD - I've been boycotting Walmart for years now. Mostly because I dislike being overrun by the people who shop there.
And I live in Arizona, don't know many people who actually listen to Lake.
Walmart can be difficult. It's gotten worse since people won't do their own grocery shopping anymore. Those big ass carts in the aisle way take up the whole aisle
