How Does Wal-Mart Figure into Race for Joe Lieberman's Senate Seat?
Fox News
Connecticut businessman and Senate candidate Ned Lamont lambasted the employment practices of Wal-Mart at a rally against the retail giant earlier this week. But what Lamont failed to mention, however, was the fact that he owns stock in the company. According to financial records obtained by The Washington Times, Lamont, his wife, and a dependent child own as much as $31,000 in Wal-Mart stock.
Also appearing at the event was Lamont's democratic rival, incumbent Joe Lieberman who was heckled by Lamont supporters for once receiving a $1,000 contribution from Wal-Mart's political action committee. Lieberman's office returned that contribution a week after receiving it.
