Quote:Walmart has found itself on the receiving end of a torrent of outrage after it was discovered Monday that the superstore was selling anti-Trump “Impeach 45” apparel on its website.

The outcry sparked a #BoycottWalmart trend on Twitter as users expressed their distaste for the chain promoting the impeachment of President Trump, echoing some Congressional Democrats.

Well this was the company that advertised it bought in America unless there was no other choice. Now they are China's biggest trading partner.

They will take it down would be my guess. 3rd party seller not WalMart themselves.

They pay little to no mind what 3rd parties are selling. In the past when this kind of thing is brought to their attention they put a stop to it.

Well, someone better tell them because most places aren't like El Paso where this crap would sell well. Too many idiots with their hands out for freebies here.

"A search for “Make America Great Again” apparel yielded plenty of hats, T-shirts and coffee mugs as well."

Not seeing the problem here.

Quote:The shirt wasn’t made by Walmart. It was sold on its marketplace, which features products by many brands, and includes political t-shirts representing many different points of view. This particular shirt was made by a brand called Old Glory. But overnight, Trump supporters have been expressing anger toward Walmart on social media, with the hashtag #BoycottWalmart gathering more than 27,700 tweets at the time of publication. It appears that Walmart has now taken down the listing for the shirt, caving in to the pressure. Another shirt that said “45 You’re Fired” has also been removed from the site.

“Rope. Tree. Journalist. SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED”

I'd say that one was worse. Wouldn't care if someone wanted to wear that one either.
