Also know who is paying for the NO KINGS rally.
Get this conspiracy shit outta here. Looks like the guys about to tell me that there’s a Walmart under the pyramids.
Christine married into the family, inherited her wealth when her spouse passed, and is not involved in the running of Walmart. She has previously donated to anti-trump groups.
Could she be doing more with her billions? Definitely. Is she the head of a corporate conspiracy to oppress the American people by funding a single ad in one newspaper? Highly unlikely.
We don't know that Walton is funding the RALLY, but she definitely paid for the AD. Big difference.
But the guy is wrong saying"WalMart paid for it", Walton paid for it. Again, big difference.
Walmart heiress Christy Walton bought ONE full-page color ad in the New York Times. The rallies themselves appear to be independently organized
you can volunteer to host one on their site
and you can get a good idea of who's actively involved in organizing them by looking at their partners page.
I don't see any corporations. Of course, they're not seizing the opportunity to save our democracy.
The Walton who paid for the ad was married into the family. The Walton descendants don't seem to be involved. Not getting to cause a divide but thought it was worth noting.

No, they aren't paying for the no kings rally. This has been planned for months - essentially since Trump declared he wanted his thuper duper special big boy parade.
Just because they paid for an ad to support the movement doesn't mean it's now co-opted by Walmart or any other billionaire.
This is blatant misinformation.
Oh, cool, more people to block, thanks!
