| Walmart Facing Boycott Threats Over 'Impeach 45' Shirt |
| 2018-07-04 |
| [Fortune] Walmart is once again under fire for a shirt available on its Website. The retailer (WMT, +0.52%) is facing calls for a boycott after supporters of President Donald Trump discovered a shirt for sale readying "Impeach 45". The shirts, seemingly discovered by the chairman of the group Students for Trump, are one of a number of "Impeach 45" offerings, which range from sweatshirts to baby clothes from a wide variety of manufacturers. The company also sells a wide range of pro-Trump merchandise, including a substantial number of "Make America Great Again" hats. News of the shirt prompted a #BoycottWalmart movement on Twitter and social media, with a large number of supporters jumping in. |

| #4 As I understand Walmers also had Hillary For Prison tees. I don't know whether it is my inner Rabid Free Market Capitalist or whether I'm just tired of this boycott bullshit, but I'm kinda sorta OK with this. This is America. If you want to wear a tee-shirt branding you as a certain class of moron, it's your God-given right. Says so in the Constitution. Somewhere. |

| #1 ...Okay - FWIW, I just went to the Walmart website and searched for anything with 'Impeach 45' on it. Nothing, zip, nada, bupkis. However.... At the bottom of the t-shirt page is a link that says, "Impeach 45 sale - Lowest Possible Price', and that goes to something called bestdeals.today. Buncha 'Impeach 45' shirts, you betcha...from Amazon. And inbetween the links to the actual shirts are links to purchase: *B&T USA - APC45 PISTOL,45ACP,1-25RD MAG *FN - FNX-45 4IN 45 ACP STAINLESS BLACK POLYMER FIXED 3-DOT 10+1RD *HECKLER & KOCH - HK45 COMPACT (V1) 3.9IN 45 ACP BLUE 8+1RD All three of those links, by the by, go to the nice people at brownells.com. Wonder what they'd think of knowing that their products are being sold next to shirts for people who want said products banned...? Mike |
