Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse.
While the “No Kings Day” ad did not mention Donald Trump by name, its emphasis on values like honoring commitments to allies, defending against dictators, and respecting trading partners was widely interpreted as a critique of Trump’s foreign policy and “America First” agenda.
The ad concluded with the statement, “The honor, dignity and integrity of our country is not for sale. Show up, attend your town halls, be civil,” and noted that the views expressed were solely those of Christy Walton.
Kari Lake, a Trump ally and his administration’s senior adviser for the U.S. Agency for Global Media, asked on X, formerly Twitter, “Do you shop at Walmart?” while posting a photo of the ad.
