Oh omg god. Can they just do retail and contribute to scholarships and medical research? WalmartInc

Ban Walmart they sell all Chinese made products. ABC is and possibly? governed by/ owned by Communist party to China The Black Plague: new cases surfaced in Mongolia (China) Yes China. That's a story if not then you are Communist and Banning your channel is the correct response.

So Congress and Walmart are willing to overlook Johnny Cash’s drug abuse and the wildfire he started that endangered nearly extinct condors to put up a statue of him? It’s hard to figure out who gets canceled and who doesn’t.

Of course they did

The mob will find a reason to tear down those statues too. wumao

How 'bout no statues at all, anywhere

Cooiooooooolllll

Remove the statues! Next we pull down those white male supremacy “compensating for something” Steeples on top of the churches and require them to have at least one LGBTQ pastor on staff in every congregation. These “the love of Jesus tells me to hate you” congregations must go.

Toward, ABC. Toward.

Wasn't Johnny cash an alcoholic and didn't he beat on his woman? Or has everyone already forgotten about that ? Oh yeah that's right we are not supposed to remember our history at this point right? Isn't that what this is all about anyway or am I just being racist?

WoW.... how generous NOT. Especially considering that the majority of the money that they make comes from people who think that they are minorities.

I will make sure all my friends and family are aware of this to boycottWalmart

We don’t need anymore fucking statues. Put that money towards your workers, towards their healthcare, towards climate change, towards something that TRULY MATTERS Stop with the PR stunts

Excellent!!

There would be no such thing as a land named America without those people there won’t be such thing as Americans on this land today without them

Without the history of America and those people are recognized on statues that you all are now taking away who fought war to make United States a possible independent country it is today without them this land will still be empty there won’t be Americans

Oh NOW the progressives love walmart lol.

Why take the statues away and damage them if you were going to replace it

When this virus started I stopped going to Walmart. I will make sure my r tire family knows we do notuse Walmart ever again.

Daisy Bates 😃😃😃 Did you see this profragsdale?

Great going Walmart !

Walmart Although your choices are admirable, we do NOT need replacement statues. Pedestals are best used for selfies and bird roosts. Still 2 of the 10 Commandments. NO GRAVEN IMAGES. Still good instructions. Could have saved ourselves a lot of pain. Truly missed the point.

Walmart should donated $100,000 for America’s homeless children who don’t know where their next meal will come! American citizens families that shouldn’t even be homeless! Forget more statues BLM organizers will destroy them to!

Enough with statues.

I was hoping for a staute of me! HomerJSimpson2020

OMG Walmart could do better than this!😊

Any statue is better than those confederate traitors

Wow. How generous. Not.

To Wal-Mart that is equivelant to dropping half a penny in the spiral collection funnel at the supermarket.

You libtarbs love erasing history like nobodys business

Wouldn't matter if you took all statues down they would get bored and find something else that would have to be done away with that's a fact

Whatever!

textiff Walmart could do better paying their employees $15 an hour.

House Democrats insert language in federal spending bill ordering removal of Confederate statues from U.S. CapitolThe measure represents the latest effort by House Democrats to remove symbols of the Confederacy and racist ideology from the halls of the Capitol. Good. Pass or not, all these lies about our history need to go, and statues of traitors should never have had a place anywhere, but especially not at the Capitol. Trying to remove their own Party members. No surprise. Dems pull this shit routinely. The surprise is how meekly Republicans let them get away with it.
