Walmart Declares That They'll Be Done Getting Rid Of Their Nazi T-Shirts... Reasonably Soon
Earlier this week we wrote about how Walmart doesn't really seem to care that many of their stores are still selling their Nazi-branded t-shirts. Consumerist has now gotten a hold of the letter that Walmart wrote in response to Congressional inquiries:
Walmart responded to a letter from Congress exhorting the retailer to remove tshirts bearing Nazi insignia, apologizing for letting some shirts fall through the cracks, as evidenced in a statement forwarded to us by a hill source... [But] if the records showed that the shirts were still in the system, then why were they allowed to remain on the shelves? Certainly not out of "respect for the individual."
You think there would still be shirts on Walmart shelves for three months if the symbol had been used by the KKK instead of the Nazis? What about if it had a picture of Mohammad on it?
