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.

This is going to backfire on the Hoggster and will help both Adam Putnam and Publix.

The south isn't San Francisco or New York City.

It is still a stronghold of sanity, patriotism, and independence.

People in Publix territory won't take kindly to an extortion attempt by a snot-nosed, anti-gun snowflake
trying to build a political career on the bodies of his dead classmates.

This kid must have enrolled in the Jesse Jackson school of how to make a living without working... It’s the age old shake down scam. Practice by the likes of Jackson, Al Gore, Rev. Sharpton, et al.

EXACTLY! You got that right. Same way the race and gender mafias try and shake down universities and Silicon Valley maggots like google and facebook.

Extortion, I agree.

Following the old Jesse Jackson model.


Jackson set himself up to be the recipient of much of the cash. Hogg isn't there yet. He's also in danger of flaming out, and being the next Cindy Sheehan or Wendy Davis.

Hey Hogg! Demand in one hand and poop in the other. See which hand fills faster.

When David was a Soros toy
He lived through Parkland and it filled him full of joy

So won’t you squeal like a pig little David
Squeal like a pig
Squeal like a pig
Hallelujah
Squeal like a pig

I see him as just a kid with an over inflated opinion of his significance.
