Walmart Asked to Stop Bankrolling Sharpton After New York Police Murders

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Here is a letter I sent today to C. Douglas McMillion, Walmart President and CEO:

We ask that Walmart end its financial support of Al Sharpton and his organization, the National Action Network (NAN). 

The cold-blooded murder of two New York City police officers, Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, follows weeks of Sharpton’s vilification of law enforcement personnel.

As you know, Walmart has helped bankroll Sharpton for years. Most recently, the company was a sponsor of Sharpton’s 60th birthday party in New York City, which reportedly was a fundraiser for NAN that raised a million dollars.

We have repeatedly raised the issue of your support for Sharpton, including at the Walmart annual meeting. You cannot lay any claim to corporate social responsibility as long as you write checks to Sharpton.

This is not the first time that violence and loss of life have followed Sharpton’s agitation, such as in the 1991 Crown Heights riots and the 1995 Freddy’s Fashion Mart incident. Sharpton’s involvement in these and other abhorrent episodes, such as the Tawana Brawley hoax, are a matter of record. You cannot claim that you are unaware of Sharpton’s past record of anti-Semitism and incitement.

Other corporations support NAN, and we will be making the same request of them, but Walmart is Shaprton’s biggest and most prominent corporate donor. It is essential that Walmart lead the way in disassociating corporate America from Sharpton’s demagoguery.

Police officers are working people whose dedication and professionalism help keep us all safe. They are also Walmart customers and shareholders. You can demonstrate your support for law enforcement by ending your support for Sharpton without delay.END LETTER

National Legal and Policy Center is about to publish a book titled Sharpton: A Demagogue’s Rise by Dr. Carl Horowitz of our staff. Carefully documented and footnoted, it will be the authoritative account of Sharpton’s life.
