Walmart is issuing an apology to Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) after the company’s corporate Twitter account slammed him for his promise to challenge the certification of President-elect Joe Biden’s win.

After Hawley released his statement about the electoral votes, Walmart’s Twitter account replied, “Go ahead. Get your 2 hour debate. [Sore Loser].”

He was not hesitant to fire back at the corporation.

“Thanks [Walmart] for your insulting condescension. Now that you’ve insulted 75 million Americans, will you at least apologize for using slave labor?” Hawley wrote.

He added, “Or maybe you’d like to apologize for the pathetic wages you pay your workers as you drive mom and pop stores out of business.”

Hours later, Walmart revealed it was a member of the superstore giant’s social media team that made those comments.

“The tweet published earlier was mistakenly posted by a member of our social media team. We deleted the post and have no intention of commenting on the subject of certifying the electoral college. We apologize to Senator Hawley for this error and any confusion about our position,” Walmart wrote.

Hawley announced on Wednesday he could not certify Biden’s Electoral College victory  “without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws,” as IJR previously reported.

He received criticism from other Republicans including Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) and Outgoing Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-Va.).

“Internal monologue: ‘I want to be President so I decided to try to get POTUS tweet saying I’m great even though I know this isn’t going anywhere,'” Kinzinger tweeted on Wednesday.

He continued, “‘But hey… I’ll blame someone else when it fails.'”

Riggleman weighed in on why Hawley would back the president’s efforts to overturn the election.

“I think he must have talked to some individuals who thought that his fundraising could go much higher if he were to do something like this,” he said during an appearance on MSNBC on Wednesday.

Riggleman went on, “It seems to me that Josh Hawley is looking for higher office. Maybe he’s positioning for 2024. This is all just political. It has nothing to do on rule of law, has nothing to do with what’s good for this country. It has to do with what’s good for the individual.”
