Why Was Walmart Selling White Nationalist T-Shirts?

T-shirts for the infamous white-power band Skrewdriver were briefly being sold on the Walmart website by third-party retailers.

Walmart has removed a pair of T-shirts for the infamous white-power group Skrewdriver that were on sale on the company’s website via third-party retailers. Walmart’s rules for third-party retailers preclude the sale of a variety of goods, from alcohol and precious metals to funeral products and vapes. The company also prohibits the sale of items that may violate its “Offensive Content” policy, including goods that “promote intolerance, hate, humiliation or the mistreatment of others due to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexual orientation, body image or similar characteristics.” Under this umbrella, the policy specifically cites: “Items, media, or propaganda associated with Nazism, white supremacy, or any other hate groups which promote prejudice or bigotry.”
