to 'proud NRA sellout' Adam Putnam

A lobbying group that receives almost all of its funding from Publix is actively supporting self-described "proud NRA sellout" and Florida governor candidate Adam Putnam.

Just six days after Publix announced they would suspend political donations, the right-wing trade group Florida Retail Federation (FRF), which is heavily funded by the Lakeland-based grocery chain, donated $100,000 to Adam Putnam's Florida Grown political action committee.

Last month, nationwide protests led by Parkland school shooting survivor and outspoken NRA critic David Hogg broke out after a report from the Tampa Bay Times showed that Publix gave an unprecedented $670,000 to Putnam over the course of three years.

Publix responded by saying they would suspend all political donations on May 25.

1. Publix hypocrites! Where I worked at, we had a PAC that gave equally to both sides...

in the interest of fair treatment of all employees and their preferences.
