    That’s a somewhat misleading summary

    https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-walmart-heiress-nyt-protest-ad/

    While Walton inherited a 1.9% stake in Walmart following her husband’s 2005 death, according to Forbes, a spokesperson for Walmart told Snopes via email that Walton has no involvement in the business.

        That’s irrelevant to the point that “The walton family sponsored” is misleading when it looks like it was just one person who’s only a member of the family by marriage, with no current involvement in the business, and when walmart itself explicitly distanced itself from her on this topic.

          I literally didn’t say Walmart did I?

            You said “Walton family”, which is technically correct but misleading because it’s only one person. The statement made by walmart is more representative of the family majority.
