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.

The monetary demand came a day after Mr. Hogg called for disruptive demonstrations Friday at all Publix stores, one of the biggest chains in the Southeast and especially Florida, where it is the largest private employer.

“@Publix is a #NRASellOut,” he tweeted. “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.”

When asked by the Tampa Bay Times about its support for Mr. Putnam, a Publix spokesman did not mention guns.

“As the hometown candidate, Publix has had a long-standing relationship with Commissioner Putnam,” spokesman Brian West said. “We support pro-business candidates, and believe Commissioner Putnam will make a great governor.”

Sounds like extortion to me.

Is he still unemployed and not going to college?

Ignore them. When they have their "die in", have every one of them arrested.

I hope someone runs over that nasty, fascist little shit with their shopping cart.

More than once would be like scoring bonus points.

Yep sounds like. Lock the lil fucker up

He must have read Jesse Jackson's playbook.

Isn't that idiot's 15 minutes of "fame" up yet?

That only works for Sharpton.....

Who?

If that kid goes through with another "protest", "die-in", or whatever to get his name in the news, I'll donate another $100 to the NRA.

Piss up a rope Hogg.

The only place I see or hear about him any more is here

Children say the darnedest things.

Ignore trolls.

I shop at Publix weekly. Should anyone opt to "die in" in my Publix store, I will go out of my way to stomp them on my way into and out of the store. Someone needs to pull young Hogg aside...and beat his ass severely. This is exactly what happens when morons don't learn their place in the pecking order.

I'm beginning to understand why commie bloc countries crush rebellion with prejudice.

I wonder how Hoggs approval ratings are going? Surely people are tired of the little fruit.

If his daddy had beat his ass as a kid instead of raising a bitch, we wouldn't have come to this point...
