Sen. Lindsey Graham is such a fan of Chick-fil-A that — in his words — he’s willing to go to war for fast-food chicken chain. Or, at least, the values it espouses.
His defense of the company, unspooled on a Wednesday Twitter thread, went viral. Given the subject matter, it drew plenty of reactions.
Graham was responding to a Fox News report regarding a group of University of Notre Dame students who wrote a letter opposing a proposed Chick-fil-A outlet on campus, given the anti-LGBTQ beliefs and donations by the company’s founding family. (The company has worked to distance itself from this behavior, saying that is not a focus.)
“I have always thought @NotreDame was one of the greatest universities in America, if not the world,” Graham wrote, sharing a link to the report about the school.
He continued: “It’s disappointing to hear some ND students and faculty want to ban Chick-fil-A from doing business on campus because they disagree with the values held by the Chick-fil-A founders. What a dangerous precedent to set.”
The South Carolina Republican ended his thread by saying he would protect the chain and “go to war” for the principles it stands for if he had to.
“I want everyone in South Carolina and across America to know I have Chick fil-A’s back. I hope we don’t have to, but I will go to war for the principles Chick fil-A stands for,” Graham wrote. “Great food. Great service. Great values. God bless Chick fil-A!”
Shut up Graham. You were a lawyer in the AirForce so dont use the word WAR when you open your yap.
