Calls to boycott the Publix have sprung up after the grocery chain s heiress, Julie Jenkins Fancelli, was reported of contributing money for the Jan. 6 rally that preceded the Capitol riot.
The Wall Street Journal has identified Fancelli as the top donor to the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally in Washington D.C. that preceded the deadly storming of the Capitol.
Citing the Journal, a Business Insider report said Fancelli s donation was facilitated by the far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who donated $50,000 to the rally.
The heiress to the Southern grocery empire has allegedly donated millions of dollars to Republican causes and candidates. Julie Jenkins Fancelli reportedly contributed $300,000 of the roughly $500,000 total raised for former President Donald Trump s Stop the Steal rally on Jan. 30.
