Walmart Billionaire Christy Walton Among Biggest Donors To Anti-Trump Republican Group Facing Trump’s Ire
forbes.com ^ | 7/16/2020 | kristin stoller

A video released by a recently formed anti-Trump group on Monday sparked an overnight Twitter rampage from President Donald Trump. One of the group’s richest backers? Walmart billionaire Christy Walton.

The Lincoln Project, a super-PAC founded by prominent Republicans including George Conway (husband of White House advisor Kellyanne Conway), released the video, titled “Mourning in America,” attacking Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. The one-minute video postulated, “Under the leadership of Donald Trump, our country is weaker and sicker and poorer. And now Americans are asking, ‘If we have another four years like this, will there even be an America?’” The group is currently asking for donations to help run the video as an advertisement on national television.

The video was a play on Ronald Reagan’s 1984 “Morning in America” campaign ad, which highlighted the positive impact of Reagan’s first term. In response to the ad, Trump called The Lincoln Project leaders “loser types” and tweeted, “A group of RINO Republicans who failed badly 12 years ago, then again 8 years ago, and then got BADLY beaten by me, a political first timer, 4 years ago, have copied (no imagination) the concept of an ad from Ronald Reagan, ‘Morning in America’, doing everything possible to get even for all of their many failures.”

I’m hearing the bulk of their contributions are going for administrative expenses.

So, what does that tell you?

Do these asshats think that Trump supporters will grovel and return to the Country Club GOP fold? The are as disillusioned as the Dems who think we will all hold hands and sing songs of peace if Trump loses. There is an unbridgeable chasm between Americans today. Starting with the Clinton Presidency that chasm has widen to the point we are two Americas. But it ain't Democrat vs GOP. To most conservative the GOP is a necessary evil but they are no better then their Democrat counterparts. These people live in an echo chamber. They spent their existence listening to their own voice and thinking what a genius the person talking to them is. If the GOP wants to survive beyond this election, they had better hear what Jeff Sessions said the other day. This is Trump's party train and the GOP had better get on board.

Unsurprising.

Wal-Mart is nothing more than the distribution arm of the Chinese Communist Party.

She’s getting rich selling us the Chinese rope we’ll use to hang ourselves with.

That explains the national mask mandate for all Wal-Mart stores!

The Waltons supported the Clintons too. It makes you wonder why a big company like that would side with the Democrats who consistently push for Unions. Yet, for some reason, Walmart has been able to keep the Unions at bay. Money talks I guess. Looks like they bought their way out of being unionized.

Yet another mentally defective billionaire? This correlation between wealth and anti- social, anti- American, anti- Christian insanities needs investigation. It’s certainly counter-intuitive

There is no mask mandate for walmart. I’m there all the time and never wear a mask.

Christy Walton sounds like an airhead spawn of too much inherited wealth. Never having to work or fight for her level of financial influence makes an easy target for a psyop.

George Conway?

Christy Walton and George Conway?

AOC is off, we shouldn’t tax millionaires, we should tax DUMB BILLIONAIRES.

So their answer for America’s problems is Joe Biden. OK, makes a whole lot of sense, since he hasn’t already been in Washington for what? 40 years or more?

America needs to wake up and discover that Walmart is not friendly to the interests of America. But America seems to like cheap crap too much.
