Walmart Back-Peddles on Offensive Tweet to Senator Hawley After Outraged Americans Push Back

Although Walmart — no doubt, in a desperate attempt at damage control — has since deleted the offensive tweet and apologized to Senator Hawley, many questions remain about how and why the tweet was allowed to be published in the first place. Reminiscent of what happened to Fox News after Election Day, Walmart can hardly afford to lose its customer base, which — according to those on the Left — are largely America's "deplorables." Many of whom, by the way, are America-loving, tax-paying patriots who often also have family members serving in the military to protect our country.

The beloved department store seems to have made a not-so-kind remark against Senator Josh Hawley.

Senator Hawley announced earlier today that he would be objecting to the Electoral College results of the 2020 Presidential Election and he has faced backlash for this decision.

Countless Twitter users have made remarks against the Senator including actor Elijah Wood. He said, "There was NO fraud. save your reputation and stand down."

Another user said, "Go ahead. Get your 2-hour debate. #soreloser." That remark, however, came from the Walmart official Twitter account.

In an article on Newsweek, Casey Staheli, Walmart's senior manager of national media relations, responded to the incident saying, "[T]he tweet was mistakenly posted by a member of our social media team who intended to publish this comment to their personal account."

They also issued an apology to the Senator of Missouri. "We apologize to Senator Hawley for this error and any confusion about our position (on Hawley's decision)," said Staheli.

The tweet has since been removed.
