“Publix Super Markets Inc. announced Friday that it’s suspending all political donations in the wake of a ‘die-in’ boycott from anti-gun Parkland students and others opposed to its donation to a pro-NRA Florida political candidate,” Scott Morefield reported on The Daily Caller. “The move presumably includes liberal politicians and causes, too.
