Posted July 4, 20187 yr comment_1565641 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/business/wp/2018/07/03/trump-supporters-call-to-boycottwalmart-over-impeach-45-shirt/?utm_term=.4d841f8db86d Walmart became the target of Trump supporters outraged by a T-shirt sold on the company’s website, leading to calls for a boycott Tuesday. The shirt, which was available in adult sizes and in baby onesies, bore the words “Impeach 45,” in reference to Trump, the 45th president of the United States. It is unclear how long the shirts were available on Walmart’s website, but Ryan Fournier, a political commentator and chairman of Students for Trump, was among the first to ignite the social media frenzy Monday night after he discovered the listing, tweeting “what kind of message are you trying to send?” The shirt was not sold directly by Walmart but through its open marketplace by a third-party seller, Walmart said in a tweet to Fournier Tuesday afternoon. “We’re removing these types of items pending review of our marketplace policies,” Walmart said. The vendor, Connecticut-based Old Glory Music & Entertainment defended its shirts. “We carry over 10,000 politically inspired T-shirts dealing with all aspects of politics, from liberal to conservative thought,” Glenn Morelli, president of Old Glory, told Bloomberg News. “We are an American company and we are proud to be American, and this is what we do: We sell T-shirts for a living.”
