'Washington Examiner' writer Joey Mannarino took to Twitter to suggest a boycott after discovering the notoriously conservative fast food chain went 'woke' by hiring a VP of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.

Conservatives have set their sights on Chick-fil-A as their latest target for boycotts, continuing their trend of seeking to boycott companies they perceive as having opposing values.

The fast food chain, which faced a left-wing boycott years ago due to their donations to groups opposing same-sex marriage and homophobic statements made by their CEO, is now facing backlash from conservatives for hiring Erick McReynolds, its vice president of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), even though he's been in his position since November 2021.


The conservative outrage highlights their opposition to the concept of DEI and reflects a broader attack on diversity efforts within the corporate world.

Washington Examiner writer and self-proclaimed political strategist Joey Mannarino drew a connection between Chick-fil-A's diversity hiring and transgender individuals, sparking controversy.

Mannarino even conducted a Twitter poll asking his followers whether they should boycott Chick-fil-A.

Results were close between yes and no.

After wondering whether conservatives might have to boycott the company, he added the following "

"It's only a matter of time until they start putting tyranny semen in the frosted lemonade at this point."

Some liberals and leftists on Twitter, aware of the poll, encouraged others to vote "yes" due to past grievances against the company for their previous stance on same-sex marriage.

The funniest part, however, was the number of conservatives who've lashed out at the company and accused it of going "woke."

Those on the left couldn't help but laugh at the latest example of manufactured outrage from conservatives.


The concept of promoting diversity and fairness within companies has been around for some time.

But the establishment of specific DEI departments and the use of the acronym gained momentum after Donald Trump's election in 2016.

The murder of George Floyd in 2020 further propelled the DEI movement. However, conservatives have launched attacks against the DEI movement, claiming it to be a tool of the devil and denouncing its effectiveness.

Some experts also criticize the movement for being used as a symbolic gesture by companies without making substantial, tangible changes to address racial and social justice issues.

While conservatives have been actively boycotting companies, including massive beer conglomerates, Ford, Target, and Hershey, in recent months, criticisms have arisen regarding the effectiveness of these efforts.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
