The ad, placed by Christy Walton, emphasized enduring American values: care for children and veterans, respect for neighbors and global partners, and support for a strong economy and just society. “We care for our children and veterans. We respect our neighbors and trading partners. We support a healthy national and international economy, community, and environment. We are the world leader trusted to uphold the stability of the rule of law,” the message read.
It concluded with a bold affirmation of civic identity: “We are the people of the United States of America. The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale. Our government is of the people, by the people, for the people.”
Amid national tension, a spokesperson for Walton told Fox News Digital that the ad was a personal message encouraging peaceful and civic participation in events scheduled for June 14. “It is unrelated to the events we have seen unfold the past several days,” the spokesperson clarified. Walton has not funded any organizations or individuals involved in recent demonstrations or protests in Los Angeles or elsewhere, nor is she connected to those planning upcoming events.
