BACKLASH: Publix Gets Slammed For Caving To Far-Left Activists; Customers Leaving

The Florida-based grocery store chain Publix is facing severe backlash after they caved to far-left activist David Hogg and his intimidation tactics on Friday as many customers are now saying they will no longer shop at the store.

Hogg and other far-left activists laid on the floor of the grocery store for 720 seconds — which Hogg falsely claimed is a second for each mass shooting that has happened in the U.S. since the Pulse nightclub massacre — and screamed for a boycott of the store.

The boycott came after it was revealed that the grocery store had donated money to a politician in the past who had described himself as a major advocate for the NRA and the Second Amendment.

Following Publix’s decision to cave to the far-left activists, many people announced that they were no longer going to be shopping at the store:

Find a new place to shop for a while other than @Publix

I feel like everyone got the wrong impression of my view point based on the Publix die-in. I support the message but it was difficult for my friends and I to see this. We believe there was a better way to get our points across.

I have decided that my future graduation cake will no longer be from @Publix. Sad!

I can’t understand why Publix would cave to such misguided and unfair complaints. The protests against Publix are ridiculous — who the heck wants people laying down in a supermarket? Shopping won’t be a pleasure if left-wing agitators get their way. I’ll always stand up for #2A!

We are all sickened by what happened at Stoneman-Douglas High School in #Parkland, FL, but @Publix don’t be held hostage and blackmailed by publicity stunts and misdirected disruptive activism. #PublixDieIn

Way to give in to bullying @publix Not shopping there ever again.

This NRA member will not support @Publix stores.

Shame on you @Publix for not having the courage of your convictions. It appears you caved to the clueless protestors by stopping your political contributions. You should’ve had them arrested for defacing your store’s parking lot. I’m tired of these crybullies. #Publix

Publix needs to reverse its decision. I will never shop at a @Publix again. I will urge no conservative or republican to ever shop there again. A company that bows to that fascism is no friend of our Republic. Enough is enough.

@Publix maybe you’ll listen to the ppl that actually spend money at your stores. I won’t be anymore, was my fav too. #BoycottPublix. Weak management.

Liberal bullying strikes again.
And honestly… shame on Publix. https://t.co/tRE5aKO5UE

I’m rather disappointed that @Publix caved to the lefts pressure

This isn’t activism. This is a public disturbance. Now I see why the #Parkland community scorned @davidhogg111’s arrogant political theater. What if a customer tripped over one of them? And you caved into this ridiculousness, @Publix?
I’m glad your stores aren’t in my city. https://t.co/IMBok9ABC9
