Walmart is rescinding its support of Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-MS) and requesting a refund of its campaign contribution due to her widely condemned comments about lynching and suppressing the liberal vote.
Hi Debra. Completely understand your concern. Sen. Hyde-Smith’s recent comments clearly do not reflect the values of our company and associates. As a result, we are withdrawing our support and requesting a refund of all campaign donations.

From its tweet, it seems that Walmart was moved to retract its support after actress Debra Messing tweeted that the corporation had donated to the Hyde-Smith campaign after her incendiary comments.
According to FEC filings, Walmart gave $2,000 to Hyde-Smith on Monday, November 18. Her joke about a public lynching went viral about a week before that. Her second major gaffe, concerning liberal voter disenfranchisement, became common knowledge about two days before Walmart’s donation.
You want to hurt Realtor Hair Cindy, go ahead and put up signs all over the entrances of every single Wal-Mart in Mississippi.
Wait til Dollar General pulls out, too!
This is what a lynching really looks like, CHS…
Once Sonic goes, she’s fucked.
In other words, “Gee, we sure are sorry you caught us being racist assholes.” Fuck Walmart…
If you shunned at a Golden Corral on Sunday morning after church in Alabama, well then,
God does hate you.
ETA: it’s hard to believe - after seeing her response to what she said - that she is that stupid.
