Yes they are claiming it, but it seems unlikely.

The reality is that advertisers/retail businesses do not seek controversy. Lowes is not different. This attracted it, and they are screwed. Their media buyer is most likely fired by now for it.

I don't think Lowes cares one way or the other except to be non-controversial, and they clearly have failed.
