Supporters of President Donald Trump launched a boycott against Walmart on Tuesday after it was discovered that the company is selling clothing pushing for the impeachment of the president.

Fox News reports:

Old Glory is the company that sells the “Impeach 45” apparel and it’s not the only one. A quick search on Walmart.com revealed three other companies selling Trump impeachment merchandise.

The outrage started when Ryan Fournier, chairman of the group Students for Trump, noticed that the company was selling approximately two dozen items in their online store calling for Trump’s impeachment along with other anti-Trump messages.

Several hours after #BoycottWalmart became one of the top trends on Twitter, the company appeared to have removed the gear from its website.

Hundreds of accounts participated in calling for the boycott, including some larger verified accounts:

#BoycottWalmart Imagine if they sold “Impeach 44” shirts? @Walmart would be called racist by every single celebrity on the internet & be forced to close for diversity training. #DoubleStandard #HollywoodHypocrites #LiberalLogic https://t.co/W6kBk96Q1Y

A lot of people don’t realize Walmart has third party sellers just like Amazon.
Walmart has lax vetting of apparel by third party sellers that pay a fee to sell on https://t.co/Pg21ySxAeL.
They need up their compliance department or this will continue. #BoycottWalmart

Walmart has the right to sell “Impeach 45” t-shirts, but we as consumers have the right to boycott them for doing it. That’s the beauty of capitalism. #BoycottWalmart

Despite the boycott calls, not all Trump supporters were on board with the boycott:

I do not want to #BoycottWalmart. It also sells #MAGA gear. We aren’t liberals. People have a right to sell and purchase what they want. Walmart has clothes for those who support the president or don’t. That is America.
