MAGA turns on Walmart after heiress takes out full-page NYT ad

Christy Walton, daughter-in-law of Walmart founder Sam Walton and part-heir to the Walmart fortune, placed a full-page ad in the New York Times urging Americans to attend the "No Kings Day" protests on June 14, and engage in civic discourse and speak to officials at town halls. Now MAGA fans are furious and calling for a boycott.

At no point did Walton name President Donald Trump in her ad, but she did talk about fighting dictators and abandoning American allies, Newsweek noted in a report.

Walmart released a statement to Newsweek saying, "The advertisements from Christy Walton are in no way connected to or endorsed by Walmart. She does not serve on the board or play any role in decision making at Walmart."

Still, at a time when tariffs are increasing the price on goods and grocery costs continue to rise, Trump followers are ready to protest the discount retailer.
