A Walmart Heiress Breaks Ranks and Joins the Anti-Trump Movement
A billionaire Walmart heiress is publicly speaking out against President Trump, breaking with the rest of the wealthy family and risking backlash for the retail empire.
Christy Walton, the widow of one of the Walmart founder's sons, took out a full-page ad in national newspapers, calling for people to 'defend against aggression by dictators' and participate in demonstrations around the country this weekend, known as the 'No Kings' protests. Walton took out a similar ad at the end of March.
