Walmart Calls Republicans ‘Sore Losers’
[NYPost] Walmart apologized to GOP Sen. Josh Hawley on Wednesday after a tweet from its official account called the Missouri lawmaker a "sore loser."
How rude. Old Sam Walton would never have countenanced such behaviour.
The retailer lied blamed a member of its social media team for the since-deleted snarky tweet, saying the employee had intended to send it from their personal account.

Earlier Wednesday, Hawley tweeted a statement announcing he would object to President-elect Joe Biden's victory at the Electoral College certification process in the Senate on Jan. 6.

Walmart responded to the tweet, writing: "Go ahead. Get your 2 hour debate. #SoreLoser."

Hawley, a rising star in the GOP, fired back, attacking the company's labor practices.

"Thanks ⁦@Walmart⁩ for your insulting condescension. Now that you've insulted 75 million Americans, will you at least apologize for using slave labor?" he wrote.
Oh snap!
"Or maybe you'd like to apologize for the pathetic wages you pay your workers as you drive mom and pop stores out of business."

Walmart issued a swift mea culpa in response to Hawley, tweeting, "The tweet published earlier was mistakenly posted by a member of our social media team. We deleted the post and have no intention of commenting on the subject of certifying the electoral college. We apologize to Senator Hawley for this error and any confusion about our position."
That’s nice. What consequences will the posting idiot suffer?

Mistake? What did you mean to post? Did you spell something wrong maybe? Has this person been fired yet?

#3 The Company Store has everything you need; food, drugs, eyeglasses, meds, electronics, bicycles, and automotive supplies. Forget about the so-called mom & pop small business stores, we put them out of business years ago.

A vast, hazy wasteland. Let's shop!

American Style Mom & Pop."
"You got it! Ten seconds to drop...
Hey, while you're waiting, how about a forty- eight hour extended protection--" *plop*

#6 Sam Walton would have punted the stupid son (or daughter) of a bitch that did this out of employment so fast and so hard he would likely have left the building flying -- by window, not door.

#7 And Corporate America is like this, which is why the dep state and the swamp have so many crony capitalist allies. They want the peasants controlled as cattle. That's why Trump is such a threat to them.

Time for Walmart to pay.

#9 Complaining to Doug McMillon CEO, Wal-Mart.
What good would it do?

Isn't he the guy that hates firearms, has stepped in and ceased Ammo sales for certain firearms?

Isn't he the Wally-World guy that is PRO-LIBERAL and trying to force his Liberal agenda ways on America.

Isn't he the guy that stop selling Confederate flag merchandise.

Isn't he the guy that had his stores running PRO-BLOM ads in their in store TV's?

Isn't he the guy that wrote a Hit Piece against President Trump. When Trump called out the violent ANTI-USA protests Charlottesville,Va and sent it out to all his employees?

Isn't he the guy that has supported the ANTI-FArt & BLOM protesters and kind of had his stores look the other way when protested in inside and against white customers?

I feel based on past actions he could care less.
Now if this was addressed at the next Stock Holder Board meeting, I am sure that would have more traction and get attention.

#16 Wal-Mart made a mistake years ago when they moved away from "buy American" to "buy Chinese." Americans didn't like the move then and they don't like it now. Walmart has wiped out mom and pop stores in towns across America. You can see the devastation in small towns across America that are dying.

Gawddam, man, who's calling the kettle black? When Trump defeated Hillary, it's been four phooking years of listening to sore losers.
