Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that he is willing to go to war over the popular fast-food restaurant chain Chick-fil-A.
This week Graham said he would stand up for the principles of Chick-fil-A, even if it means going to war. This all stems from an issue between the University of Notre Dame and Chick-fil-A.
Students at the school are speaking out against a Chick-fil-A location on the school’s campus. Their mission comes after the restaurant’s history of allegedly being anti-LGBTQIA. More than 150 students have signed an open letter to the university over their consideration of building a Chick-fil_A location on the Indiana campus. On Wednesday, Graham responded to the student’s efforts in a tweet.
“I have always thought @ NotreDame was one of the greatest universities in America, if not the world,” Graham started. “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,” he continued. “What a dangerous precedent to set.”
He then added: “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.”
