Walmart Heiress Christy Walton’s Anti-Trump Ad Fuels MAGA-Led Call for Boycott of Retailer
Walmart could become the target of a MAGA-led boycott after an heiress to the retail fortune funded a full-page ad in the New York Times promoting a nationwide protest movement against President Trump.
The ad, run by the “No Kings” movement, calls on Americans to “mobilize” on Saturday — Flag Day and Trump’s birthday — in order to “reject authoritarianism.”
Trump is planning to hold a massive military parade in Washington, DC on that day.
The heiress, Christy Walton, is the widow of John T. Walton, son of Walmart founder Sam Walton.
Though she holds no active role in Walmart’s operations, she retains a roughly 1.9% stake in the company and has an estimated net worth of $19.3 billion, according to Forbes.
The “No Kings” movement is planning roughly 1,500 protests nationwide to counter Saturday’s military parade — but notably absent from the list of protest sites is DC. (Read more from “Walmart Heiress Christy Walton’s Anti-Trump Ad Fuels MAGA-Led Call for Boycott of Retailer” HERE)
