Lindsey Graham pledges to 'go to war' for Chick-fil-A amid Notre Dame protest

As a Senate member, Lindsey Graham has the ability to vote to send the United States to war. It’s unlikely that a kerfuffle over a fast-food-chicken chain necessitating the deployment of troops would ever wind up before Congress, but on Thursday, the South Carolina Republican vowed that he would “go to war” to protect Chick-fil-A.

Why might a purveyor of nuggets need such senatorial protection? A group of students at the University of Notre Dame had objected to the suggested opening of a location on its campus, citing the company’s history of donating to anti-LBGTQ groups. The students also pointed to donations made by Chick-fil-A’s billionaire owner, Dan Cathy, to a group fighting the Equality Act, legislation that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation.

News of the students’ beef with the chicken chain was amplified by a story on Fox News, which has lately gone all-in on stoking the culture wars. Fox’s headline was enough to prompt Graham to stand up for Big Chicken.

“I hope we don’t have to, but I will go to war for the principles Chick fil-A stands for,” he tweeted. “Great food. Great service. Great values.”

1. Chick Fil-a is a case study in why corporations should remain politically neutral

while still not allowing themselves to be exploited for the agenda of those who would act in ways contradictory to our nation's principles including voter suppression.

It is one thing for this chain to be closed on Sundays--their call. But, everything they have done since makes me unwilling to give them business. I'm with U of Notre Dame (for once in my life...LOL )

2. He will go to war for the principles for Chick-fil-A just but not for democracy, how sweet.

5. Well he's got time on his hands to do this since he's not working to improve the country

in his day job.
