Ted Cruz Joins Conservative Chick-fil-A Bash: Fast Food Giant Has ‘Lost Its Way’
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) became the latest conservative figure to call out Chick-fil-A, Wednesday, after the chicken chain made a donation to the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).
Linking to a Breitbart News article on Chick-fil-A’s donation to the SPLC, Cruz declared, “If true, @ChickfilA has badly lost its way.”
“Millions of Christians have been proud of ChickFilA’s courageous stands for religious liberty. To fund those who hate your customers is just sad,” he continued.

Cruz is just one of the latest conservative figures to turn on Chick-fil-A, after the company dropped donations to Christian charities like the Salvation Army, following protests from LGBT activists.
On Wednesday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who was a big fan of the fast food company just months ago, posted, “Chick Fil A betrayed us.”
“We stood by them for years during every attack and controversy… Despite this they announced they will no longer support Christian organizations,” he proclaimed. “Even worse, it has come out they support the Southern Poverty Law Center!! No more Chick-Fil-A, ever!”
Kirk’s loyal manservant Benny Johnson added, “@ChickfilA turned their back on all of us.”
