Walmart may confront a MAGA boycott triggered by Kari Lake's criticism of Christy Walton, who funded an anti-Trump advertisement in the New York Times. The ad, part of the No Kings movement, argues that Trump undermines civil rights and calls for nationwide protests on June 14, coinciding with Trump's military parade. Walmart quickly distanced itself from the ad, asserting Walton's lack of influence within the company. Lake questioned her followers about their shopping habits at Walmart in response to the situation, highlighting a potential consumer backlash.
Walmart spokesperson Joe Pennington stated, "The advertisement from Christy Walton [is] in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart," emphasizing her lack of role in company decisions.
The No Kings movement's ad in The New York Times calls for mobilization against civil rights attacks, promoting democratic values and announcing over 1,800 protests nationwide.
