Defender of Poor Abused Wal-Mart
In a June 2005 article in Roll Call, Hirni defends Wal-Mart by saying that, "It's the No. 1 company in the world and is doing nothing else than running a business and helping folks buy quality products at lower prices. All that gets you in Washington is attacked by everybody else. Wal-Mart has been under constant attack for the past two years, by the unions, its competitors, by those that oppose capitalism."
