Visitors to Walmart’s website could purchase a shirt calling for violence against journalists, up until the retail giant took the shirt down on Thursday.
“Rope. Tree. Journalist. Some assembly required,” the back of the shirt available on their website read, a reference to hanging journalists.
The shirt was only removed from Walmart’s website after the Radio Television Digital News Association sent a letter to the retailer about the shirt, according to the group.
The shirt made headlines last year when a Trump supporter was spotted wearing it at a Trump rally in Minnesota days before the 2016 election.
