PUBLIX HAS DIRECTED STORES TO BLOCK THE COVER OF TRUMP TABLOID WITH PLASTIC TO COVER OFFENSIVE CONTENT…

[1/5/17] The National Enquirer is now too risqué for the Publix supermarket chain.

And it’s likely not because of pictures of Elizabeth Hurley in a bathing suit.

According to outraged shoppers, it’s likely because of President-Elect Donald Trump appearing on the cover frequently.

Publix, one of the largest food chains in the Southeast, has decided to mask the National Enquirer’s front cover with white plastic boards usually used by retailers on provocative publications such as Cosmopolitan.

The supermarket chain has not extended the decision to other supermarket tabloids such as The Star.

The apparent reason for the move? Some shoppers complained about the National Enquirer’s recent front covers featuring President-Elect Donald Trump and his family. And some liberal activists pushed retailers on the issue.

“Keep up the good work everyone! Let a thousand flowers of resistance bloom,” wrote user “jmbar2” in celebration of the move by Publix on the leftist site, Daily Kos.

The publisher of the National Enquirer is friends with Trump. The National Enquirer even endorsed Trump for president.

Publix began covering up the National Enquirer some time after Thanksgiving. Publix’s decision soon caught the eyes of Trump supporters, one of whom contacted LifeZette to express their anger at the decision.
