David Hogg puts Publix in crosshairs, demands $1 million donation and anti-NRA pledge
The Washington Times ^ | 24 May 2018 | Victor Morton

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.

You want to punish him right? Dick eating is what this guy’s about. That’s how he swings 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.

I do most of my grocery shopping at Publix.

Sometime in July, a Lowes Foods is slated to open within walking distance.

I have been to the one in another county that is supposed to be a clone of what’s coming my way.

Looking forward to it.

Now we can make Publix #1!

He seems to not be the brightest light in the light bulb store. I wonder who is giving him these ideas and who is probably financing his adventures.

I hope Publix studiously ignores this little punk.
