Walmart heiress Christy Walton is facing backlash, and Walmart is facing some calls for a boycott from Trump supporters after placing a full-page ad in The New York Times urging Americans to attend town halls and engage in civic discourse.
The ad paid for by the Walmart heiress concluded with the statement, "The honor, dignity and integrity of our country is not for sale. Show up, attend your town halls, be civil," and noted that the views expressed were solely those of Christy Walton.
No Kings Day is scheduled for June 14, which is also Trump's birthday, Flag Day, and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. He has planned a military parade at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., to commemorate the anniversary.
Walton, who has a net worth of $19.3 billion, married into the Walmart legacy years ago. Her husband, John Walton, was the son of Walmart founder Sam Walton and died in 2005.
