From FOX News: Billionaire Walmart heiress Christy Walton faced backlash from the White House and avoidance by Walmart itself after she bought an ad appearing to call Americans across the country to protest against President Donald Trump.
Walton, one of the richest women in America, bought a full-page ad in The New York Times declaring “NO KINGS,” referring to the No Kings organization that is coordinating hundreds of protests across the country against Trump’s administration on the same day as his military parade this weekend.
Andrew Cook, a spokesman for the No Kings organization, told Forbes there will be more than 1,800 events across America.
While Walton’s ad does not mention Trump directly, it instead appears to echo many common liberal critiques of the president and his policies by declaring, “We are a people of principle and honor. We honor our commitments and stand by our allies. We defend against aggression by dictators. We uphold and defend the Constitution.”
A spokesperson for Walton released a statement to Fox News Digital. The statement said:
“The personal ad message from Christy Walton published, Sunday, June 8, focuses on encouraging people to engage peacefully and civically in next weekend’s events on June 14th. It is unrelated to the events we have seen unfold the past several days. Christy has provided no funding to organizations or individuals involved in the demonstrations in Los Angeles or other cities, nor has she provided any funding to those organizing the upcoming events.
“Her interest is simply in encouraging people to listen to one another, participate in their communities, and productively engage on the issues they care about. She believes while we have the right to protest, we do not have a right to violence. She condemns violence in all forms and her message promotes civic engagement, peaceful dialogue, and the sharing of diverse views and voices.”
In a move that appears to attempt to put distance between itself and Walton, Walmart released the following statement to Fox News Digital: “We condemn violence, including when it’s directed towards law enforcement, and the damaging of property.”
Fox News Digital asked the White House to comment.
“Great, a left-wing billionaire feels like burning some of her inheritance for a PR stunt. It’s not going to change the fact that over 77 million Americans voted for mass deportations, border security, and America First trade policies — a mandate that the Trump administration is committed to using every lever of executive power to deliver on,” a White House spokesperson said.
Laura Loomer, a political activist and conservative social media influencer, claims she took Walton’s ad to executives at Walmart.
“I explained to them and their representatives the need to condemn the actions of Christy and her ad that is promoting radical leftist protests in the US by inciting violence against [President Donald J. Trump],” she wrote in an X post.
She announced Walmart would be releasing a statement, which she’d been given in advance.

She also posted commentary about what she’d learned about Walton.
“I’m told Christy doesn’t even live in the United States and she is the black sheep of the Walmart family,” she wrote in a separate X post. “She is creating all of this chaos outside of the United States. I was in communication with Walmart today, they said they don’t support her anti-Trump advocacy and her ad in support of communist protests across the country this weekend.
“They immediately took action when I told @Walmart this ad was going viral and it was unacceptable. I made it very clear they would get the @budlight treatment, but they didn’t even flinch when I asked them to make a statement.
“So kudos to Walmart for the statement condemning political violence.”
“She literally lives in MEXICO where she is taking out anti-Trump ads,” she wrote in another X post. “I’m told by a source that other members of the Walton family, which owns @Walmart, begged her not to take the ad out but she didn’t listen. She is supporting the pro-illegal alien riots all the way from her mansion in Mexico. Maybe she should just let the illegals move into her multiple mansions in Mexico.”
Walmart said they do not approve.
