Walmart is pulling its “Impeach 45” merchandise aimed at President Trump, after a Twitter campaign to boycott the retailer.
“These items were sold by third-party sellers on our open marketplace and were not offered directly by Walmart,” a company spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “We’re removing these types of items pending review of our marketplace policies.”
The clothing, which includes T-shirts, sweatshirts, football jerseys, and baby clothing, was first spotted by Ryan Fournier, chairman of the coalition Students for Trump, who tweeted Tuesday, “Walmart, why are you selling Impeach 45 baby clothes on your website????? What kind of message are you trying to send?” He included a photo of a $16.95 onesie with a one-star review.
.@walmart why are you selling Impeach 45 baby clothes on your website?????

The tweet traveled, drawing disgust from Trump fans and prompting demands to boycott the company.
