Arkansas grocery store sparks controversy with ‘Heaven has a wall’ ad mailers
A Christian grocery store in southeast Arkansas offered a weekly ad mailer to customers with a message referencing the controversy over President Trump’s proposed border wall.
“Heaven has a wall, a gate and a strict immigration policy,” the Mac’s Cashsaver mailer reads. “Hell has open borders. Let that sink in.”
The booklet went to at least four of the family-owned grocery store’s locations in Arkansas and Louisiana, according to Little Rock NBC-affiliate KARK.
{mosads}The company told KARK that the mailer usually contains either a religious or political message, and that it stands by it.
Jack Digby, a manager at a Mac’s Cashsaver, told the station that the message is a Christian message, not political.
“I am for the company and I am for God,” he said. “There’s nothing wrong with what that statement says.”
Digby added that critics are “just making a political spin out of it and getting the wrong idea of what it really means.”
Digby said he has received dozens of phone calls about the mailer, and employees at one Cashsaver’s location said they have been approached by upset customers in person.
