Walmart's Impeach 45 apparel causes outcry, calls for boycott

The resistance movement against President Donald Trump is less than a year-and-a-half old. And so are some of its newest members.

At least that’s what Walmart is promoting with its new baby clothes.

The retail giant is selling “Impeach 45” and “Impeach Trump” baby and adult apparel for opponents of the controversial 45th president of the United States. But Walmart’s “resistance” appeal has met — for lack of a better term — resistance of its own.

On July 2, Ryan Fournier, a Trump advocate, set the Twitterverse abuzz with his discovery of Walmart’s clothing. He asked @walmart "why are you selling Impeach 45 baby clothes on your website?????"

Not everything you can buy on the Wal-Mart website is even stocked, carried or sold by Wal-Mart anyway.

But it becomes "Wal-Mart's Impeach 45 apparel" because one of the many companies that sell things through the Wal-Mart website sells it.

Oy.

The deplorables shop there. They won't shop at that liberal Target with their androgenous bathrooms. They have to shop Sams over that elitist Costco. They love Walmart and Dollar General.

How did Walmart ever think anything anti-trump wouldn't garner the outrage and cries for boycott from their deplorable shoppers
