Not just the NRA but all political donations. They are a retailer who doesn't want to offend any customer - left or right.

“We would never knowingly disappoint our customers or the communities we serve,’’ said company spokesman Dwaine Stevens in a statement Friday. “As a result, we decided earlier this week to suspend corporate-funded political contributions as we reevaluate our giving processes.’’

At Publix, we respect the students and members of the community who have chosen to express their voices on these issues,’’ Stevens’ statement said. “We regret that our contributions have led to a divide in our community. We did not intend to put our associates and the customers they serve in the middle of a political debate.’’

Amazing. A kid that was in a high school shooting, is now a shakedown artist. One wonders how Mother Theresa would be characterized.

Publix dumped ALL political contributions -- not just the NRA. The statement isn't anti-NRA -- it is anti-politically charged organizations.


I think that corporations will be stepping down from any kind of political involvement. They just don't want the hassle.

It isn't just the NRA.

I think this is less about not supporting the NRA and just Publix stepping away from any organization that may have political ties.

We will see more of this.
