David Hogg decided he has a bone to pick with a grocery store now.
Publix is supporting a 2A-friendly candidate.
Publix, the heirs to the company’s founder and its current and former leaders have given Putnam $670,000 in the last three years — or enough money to buy 74,527 chicken tender subs.
No other Florida candidate has ever come close to that kind of subsidy from Florida’s largest Fortune 500 company. Its most recent contribution, a $100,000 donation on April 30, was the largest, too, according to the latest campaign finance filings.
It makes sense.
Putnam, like Publix, is a product of Polk County. He hails from Bartow, just 20 minutes from Publix’s headquarters in Lakeland — which company officials say is a factor in their support for him.
Spokesman Brian West said, “As the hometown candidate, Publix has had a long-standing relationship with Commissioner Putnam. We support pro-business candidates, and believe Commissioner Putnam will make a great governor.”
Buuuuut that twists David’s panties into a bunch. Because you know, Putnam supports the eeeeevil NRA.
Guess I’ll be getting my chocolate chip muffins elsewhere from now on. Common @Publix https://t.co/uSVso4nzLh

Oh noes.
Anywhooooo… Lil’ Hogg switching muffin providers. He also wants to lay on their floor.
Seriously.
In a move he learned from every 2-year-old at Target, David Hogg is going to lay down on the floor of a grocery store because he’s not getting what he wants.
.@Publix is a #NRASellOut
In Parkland we will have a die in the Friday (the 25th) before memorial day weekend. Starting at 4pm for 12 min inside our 2 Publix stores. Just go an lie down starting at 4. Feel free to die in with us at as many other @Publix as possible.— David Hogg (@davidhogg111) May 23, 2018
OMG.
We must hold these businesses accountable just like our politicians.

This is your idea of holding a business accountable?
If so, toddlers are EXPERTS AT ACCOUNTABILITY.
Going to lie on the ground because your not getting your way? My toddlers do that.

The Friday before memorial day, I see a lot of people and kids getting hit with shopping carts and a lot of people getting arrested

I love @Publix they have nice clean stores and great customer service. Don’t get in the way of my cart.

Also… does this kid not realize this ALWAYS backfires on him?!
You realize that the more you do this, the more successful these businesses are, right? It drives sales up, and drives support up. By all means, keep going.
