David Hogg is trying to shake down Publix.
The public face of the gun control movement demanded $1 million Thursday from the Florida-based grocery chain in a tweet, just one day after calling for a “die-in” protest at its stores.
Publix is being targeted by Mr. Hogg for its support of Adam Putnam, a Republican gubernatorial candidate who is now the state’s agricultural commissioner. The Tampa Bay Times reported earlier this week that Publix had given $670,000 during the last three years to Putnam campaigns.
Mr. Hogg not only sought atonement money from the grocery chain in Thursday’s tweet, he also demanded a pledge of ideological fealty to the gun-control movement.
“I call on @Publix to donate double the money they gave to Putman [sic] to the Stoneman Douglas Victims fund, $1,000,000. And never support an A rated NRA politician again,” he wrote.

Any DOJ folks freed up that can look into this?
MY FIRST THOUGHT: Sounds like extortion!
Maybe he should do some prison time. Just sayin’....
I call on David Hogg to eat a giant bag of dicks.
FU Hogg boy. Now I will spend more money at Publix
This Hogg Kid is a Real PUNK. Can’t believe he is getting Media attention. I Suspect Soros or some other radical is financing him.
I was going to post the same thing.
Never give in to these people, it will only make things worse.
Definitely not a good thing for the gun control movement.
He demands. Really? Or what? You know his parents must have been terrified the past 18 years. Spare the rod, spoil the attention brat.
The Je$$ie Jack$on is strong in this one.
That boy is going to get a severe ass whuppin one day soon.
That’s the jesse jackson/al sharpton model of extortion in the name of social justice.
Can’t come soon enough.
Jail time plus getting neutered. Do you really want offspring out of this kid?
I hope Publix studiously ignores this little punk.
He’s no Al Sharpton! Sharpton was a friend of mine...
Sounds an awful lot like extortion to me...
...
Ditto.
Is he over 18 so he can be tried as an adult?
It would be great to see the same thing happen at Publix that happened at Chic-fil-a.
Too bad there are no Publix markets by me.
Publix should hire people to jump on this punk with both feet.
In a court of law, of course.
I’ve noticed, for a long time, that the left never asks, they always “demand”. It’s perplexing. Not the way to win friends and influence people.
