Amid a major ‘boycott’ call over the advertisement that the company’s heiress gave on NYT, asking Americans to take part in the protest against Donald Trump on his birthday on June 14, Walmart VP Dan Bartlett said that advertisements were in no way connected to Walmart. “We condemn violence, including when it’s directed towards law enforcement, and the damaging of property. As a company with associates and customers in the Los Angeles region, we remain focused on their safety and that of impacted associates,” Bartlett said. “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.“As MAGA activists called for a boycott of Walmart, Donald Trump aide Laura Loomer claimed that Walton does not even live in the US. “She literally lives in MEXICO where she is taking out anti-Trump ads. I’m told by a source that other members of the Walton family, which owns @Walmart, begged her not to take the ad out but she didn’t listen. She is supporting the pro-illegal alien riots all the way from her mansion in Mexico. Maybe she should just let the illegals move into her multiple mansions in Mexico,” Loomer posted.
Who is Christy Walton? Why has she sponsored an anti-Trump advertisement?
Christy Walton inherited her late husband John T Walton’s share of Walmart after his death in a 2005 plane crash. Once listed as the richest woman globally ($41.7 billion in 2015), her current net worth hovers in the tens of billions range, with estimates around $17–19 billion.Walton sponsored an advertisement in the NYT calling Americans to take part in the No Kings Day protest on June 14, which was originally planned as a counter to Trump’s multimillion-dollar military parade on his birthday, which is also the 250th anniversary of the founding of the US Army. But now, after the Los Angeles riots, the organizers said the protest is going to be bigger than that. Walton’s advertisement did not have Trump’s name but it was a general call for participation in the protest which is against Trump.
