David Hogg puts Publix in crosshairs, demands $1 million donation and anti-NRA pledge

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.

maybe someone can post a list of Publix Stores so we can go shop there and tell the manager why we are shopping there. In a attempt to counter the possibility of protests, we should be vocal and get the word out.

I just spent 230 bucks at Publix this morning.
My daughter was dating a manager of one of our Publix stores and he told me that they give thousands of dollars worth of food to the food bank and shelters daily. They give all the day old pastries, veggies etc. I never heard anyone remind the people of that!

I called Publix corporate office in Lakeland and spoke with a customer service gal and said DON’T GIVE IN!!

If I were the victim of this extortion, I would agree to pay the blackmail.

Wait a few hours to let people on both sides react.

I would then announce that I had already sent the entire $1M to NRA-endorsed candidates. In the announcement, I would explain that I am putting my own money into preserving, protecting, and defending individual freedom against the oppressive Left’s demand for centralized control over all aspects of our lives.

I saw no decrease in the number of shoppers this morning. Busy as usual.

Oh goodie. Not like we haven’t seen this before? Hogg goes Gunsie Jackson for a living?!. The Rainblow Coalition.

Jesse Jackson’s modus operandi

You’re right. “Give us money or we’ll riot!”

[Rockingham]

Apparently, David Hogg is gay, so that might well be a fulfillment of a cherished fantasy.

[Lean-Right]

“I say duct tape him to a seat at a hockey game and make him drink beer. Put him between two truckers talking about Elk Season.” Funny!

But a better scenario would be: Take
him to a NASCAR race, make him drink
beer. Put him between two Texans talking
about hog hunting with a AR-15.

Two Pricks don't make it right acting like one.

I call on David Hogg to eat a giant bag of dicks.

These folks deliver!

Bag of Dicks

[FLT-bird]

He “demands”.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!

On a side note, be sure to stay in the media Camera Hogg. We need regular Hogg updates all the way through November to remind regular Americans to get out and vote....against everything you support.

[ManHunter]

I call on David Hogg to take a flying f**k at a rolling donut!

[Dutch Boy]

"I hope they make a public statement AGAINST the antics of this fascist Pigg."

Publix could donate a million to the NRA. That would smack that punk down a few notches.

[BobL]

Be a bummer if some customers SPILL SOME MILK on them.

[Kozak]

Guess I need to shop at Publix more.
