Walmart Billionaire Christy Walton Among Biggest Donors To Anti-Trump Republican Group Facing Trump’s Ire

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.”

Walmart Billionaire, Christy Walton, who is donating to an anti-Trump group to aid Biden is the same billionaire who does not pay a decent wage to her workers and is able to do so since democrats dole out medicaid, foodstamps and welfare to keep those same Walmart workers ground down.

Doesn’t hurt the Walmart billionaire at all to use the taxpayers, democrats and Biden. She remains on top. Not you though.

“””The Waltons supported the Clintons too.””””””

Hillary was on their Board of Directors. She and co-president Bill then allowed China to open shop here.

I will not shop at Walmart. The way they are still refusing to give people refunds, even on defective items, is not how you do business in a first world country..there is even a class action suit. They should be obligated to post signs saying all sales final.

In my area there’s signs on even Macy’s and Meijers doors requiring mask to enter.

“McMillon said masks are currently required in about 3,700 of its more than 5,000 U.S. locations “where either governor or someone else has mandated it.”

“We don’t currently, as we’re doing this interview, mandate that in our other stores but that’s obviously something that’s on our minds,” McMillon said.”

Sorry, no mandate.

Yep...I remember that now that you mentioned it.

"Hillary Clinton was on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart for 6 years. Wal-Mart paid her $18,000 each year she was on the board and $1,500 for every meeting she attended. She accumulated at least $100,000 in Wal-Mart stock. This might be the reason she refuses to release her tax records even though Barack Obama has done so."

From this article 2008 article...updated in 2011:

Hillary Clinton and Wal-Mart: What About Debbie Shank?

Sorry, yes mandate.

Bentonville, Arkansas-based Walmart, Kohl’s and Kroger join a growing but still small list of retailers to require masks at all of its stores, filling the role of states and the federal government that have failed to issue such mandates on an issue that has been highly politicized by President Donald Trump and many of his ardent supporters. Given Walmart’s clout as the largest retailer in the U.S., its decision is expected to push many others to issue similar mandates.

In MI Governor Half-Whitmer mandated everyone to wear a mask and all the cops said don’t call them with that silly s-it call the half whit.

In liberal cities it’s a mandated, everywhere else nobody wears them.
