Walmart causes outrage after selling ‘Impeach 45’ merchandise on its website; move sparks boycott

Walmart is under major fire after news went viral that the retailer sold anti-Trump merchandise on its online shopping website.

What are the details?

Ryan Fournier, chairman of the group Students for Trump, appeared to be one of the first social media users to notice that retail giant Walmart was selling "Impeach 45" merchandise on its website.

In a Monday tweet, Fournier wrote, “@Walmart why are you selling Impeach 45 baby clothes on your website????? ... What kind of message are you trying to send?”

Fournier's tweet has currently received more than 5,000 retweets and generated nearly 2,000 comments.

After Fournier's tweet grabbed the attention of many, myriad social media users began calling for a boycott of the retailer.

Other Twitter users found similar merchandise for sale on the site — items not just for children.

One user wrote, "I [didn't] want to believe it. So I searched for myself. This is despicable. All American Walmart? [I'm] out!!!"

Who's selling the anti-Trump merchandise?

According to a Tuesday report by Fox News, the company selling the "Impeach 45" merchandise is called Old Glory, and Old Glory apparently isn't the only manufacturer of Trump impeachment merchandise — Fox reported that three other companies were featured on Walmart's online marketplace that also sold similar goods.

Fox News pointed out, however, that "Make America Great Again" merchandise was available on Walmart's website as well.

Walmart has yet to publicly address the controversy or the burgeoning boycott on social media.

At the time of this writing, "Impeach 45" merchandise is still available and for sale on Walmart's website — as is "Make America Great Again" gear.
