Just In! President Trump May Reinstate The Meeting With North Korea
May 25, 2018As I mentioned a few times, David Hogg took a page out of the toddler handbook, and threw a tantrum today at his local Publix.
He was as much an arrogant little twit about it as he always is:
.@Publix I’m shaking in my boots awaiting your DM.

…and it turned into the sh*t show we all expected:
VIDEO: The die-in protest at Publix in Coral Springs turned into a shouting match between protesters and Trump supporters. @MikeMagsCBS12 is there. Latest at 5. https://t.co/EU0vygBgbG pic.twitter.com/Xa4r08a8x9

Well… it worked.
BREAKING: @Publix has bowed to David Hogg and has suspended contributions to politicians. We have to show unity. I think @KyleKashuv should start a boycott of NRA members not shopping at Publix. We cannot continue to be bullied.

Liberal bullying strikes again.
And honestly… shame on Publix.
Publix is backing down in a standoff with survivors of this year’s mass shooting at a Parkland, Florida high school, saying it has suspended political contributions.
The regional supermarket chain, which is based in Florida, announced its decision amid a “die-in” at several Publix stores in the state to protest the supermarket chain’s financial support for a gubernatorial candidate who opposes gun control.
Publix said Friday in a statement that it will “suspend corporate-funded political contributions as we reevaluate our giving processes.”
Earlier this week, the company had suggested future political donations might be handled differently, saying that “We did not intend to put our associates and the customers they serve in the middle of a political debate.”
The lead organizer of the demonstration, which took place Friday afternoon, was Florida teen David Hogg, a senior at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 people were shot to death and 17 others were injured in a Feb. 14 rampage by a former student.
After participating in the protest, Diego Pfeiffer, a senior at the high school, tweeted that Publix’s suspension is “proof that peaceful protest really works.”
Just Died-in down with @davidhogg111 in front of @Publix and they suspended they political contributions.
Proof that peaceful protest really works. #noNRAmoney #disarmhate— Diego Pfeiffer #NEVERAGAIN (@firepfeiffer1) May 25, 2018
