#BoycottWalmart for Accidental Tweets and Other Stuff That Probably Didn’t Happen.

In this transcript, the speaker reflects on the recent social media dispute between Republican Senator Josh Hawley and Walmart, which resulted in the hashtag trending on social media. The speaker finds it interesting how both right-wing and progressive individuals aligned in advocating for a boycott of Walmart. The speaker then focuses on Walmart’s apology for the offending tweet and finds it hard to believe that it was simply a mistake by an employee using the wrong account. The speaker questions Walmart’s social media management practices and suggests two possible scenarios for how the mistake could have occurred: either Walmart’s employees are offshore and inexperienced in social media management or Walmart’s social media tools are flawed.
