Walmart’s C.E.O. Joins Group to Rebuke Trump Over Charlottesville
New York Times ^ | 8/15/2017 | Rachel Abrams and Michael Corkery

Walmart’s chief executive issued a strong rebuke of President Trump’s response to the protests that turned violent in Charlottesville, Va., saying the president “missed a critical opportunity to help bring our country together.”

The criticism came in a statement that the retailer’s chief executive, Doug McMillon, emailed to employees Monday evening, which was reviewed by The New York Times. The statement was later posted on a company website.

“As we watched the events and the response from President Trump over the weekend, we too felt that he missed a critical opportunity to help bring our country together by unequivocally rejecting the appalling actions of white supremacists,” he wrote.

And they think of themselves as bold, courageous trailblazers, when, in fact, they’re like brainless sheep.

What gripes me is to see never Trumpers like Steve Hayes and Charles Krautmammer all over Fox making this arguement. If I want to hear poorly thought out or one sided opinions like this I’ll watch the legacy media.

Do not patronize the companies these deceitful, opportunistic CEOs represent. Not one of them mentioned the violent anarchists that sparked the chaos. And their hatred for Trump must not be rewarded.

Well in about twenty more years, guess which class of citizen will be the ones brutally discriminated against?

I could use a few big bags of baking soda to do some blasting.

There’s always Amazon.

Seems Walmart wants to alienate it’s base and drive away shoppers.

Absolutely. I still go there for certain things, but will never go there again.

BOYCOTT WALMART

Too many white guys on that page.

The CEO needs to resign and let a nonwhite person take his job if he wants to stay consistant with his beliefs.

Why do these huge companies continue to risk alienating customers with their taking sides in politics.

Just shut up and sell your Chinese shit, WalMart.

Didn’t Target and JC Penney teach you anything?

The corporate world is very progressive. Look back at how they bullied the Boy Scouts, etc.

I saw the same thing. Only a couple tokens. Wonder how long before they are in the news for that very thing? I bet the shake-down boys are full speed ahead on it now.

Wal-Mart and Amazon is in a social justice, merchandizing war... I am seeing a trend though when I make my monthly trek to the yucked up aisles of Wall-Mart... Far fewer foreign languages spoken as I speed through to get my household paper goods...

Last three times when I needed blood tests I was asked IF I had been outside the US... and I responded I went to War-Mart last week...
