| Description | Walmart asked Republican Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi on Tuesday to return its campaign donations after "Will and Grace" actress Debra Messing and others criticized the retail giant for supporting the lawmaker after she made controversial comments about attending a hypothetical "public hanging."
"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," Walmart said in the tweet.
Walmart is the third company in the past two days to ask Hyde-Smith for a refund of their campaign contributions. Union Pacific and Boston Scientific had asked her for their money back on Monday. |
