Walmart suffers backlash after 3rd-party vendor sells ‘Impeach 45’ shirts
A group of angry customers has launched a “boycott Walmart” hashtag after learning a third-party vendor was selling shirts on Walmart’s website with the phrase “Impeach 45.”
CNBC reports a description underneath the clothing item states, “Show how you really feel about our president with this tee!”
The shirt is being sold by third-party seller Old Glory. CNBC reports the shirts have since been removed from the website.
Angry Trump supporters voiced their anger on Twitter Tuesday morning, some tweeting #BoycottWalmart.
Walmart’s third-party marketplace also has “Make America Great Again” merchandise.
TWEETS FROM UPSET TRUMP SUPPORTERS:
@Walmart Looks like I’ll be shopping elsewhere from now on since you find it tasteful to sell Impeach 45 clothing in your stores! Goodbye!#BoycottWalmart
