The Red Hats are all lathered up over Walmart's "Impeach 45" apparel, calling for boycott



People are furious that Walmart is selling “Impeach 45” merchandise aimed at President Trump.

The clothing, which includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, football jerseys, and baby clothing, was first spotted by Ryan Fournier, chairman of the coalition Students for Trump, who tweeted Tuesday, “Walmart, why are you selling Impeach 45 baby clothes on your website????? What kind of message are you trying to send?” He included a photo of a $16.95 onesie with a one-star review.

Walmart also sells pro-Trump apparel like a shirt reading, "Can't stump the Trump" and several pieces of clothing with the words "Make America Great Again".

As of Tuesday morning, the shirts were still available for sale on the company's website.

Heard it on radio news (on XM) Walmart said it was an outside vendor (isn't everything they sell from outside vendors?) and they apologized and removed the "offending" items.

This is hilarious. Deplorables have NO WHERE ELSE to buy stuff. Maybe they will starve themselves to death now.
