Publix Heir’s Funding of the Capitol Trump Rally Leads to Boycott

The grocery chain denies any connection to the event, but has made corporate donations to conservative politicians in the past

Publix is facing calls for a boycott after reports revealed that Julie Jenkins Fancelli, heir to the regional supermarket chain and daughter of its late founder George W.
