Conservatives Are Panicking After Discovering Chick-Fil-A Hired A Diversity VP—And It's *Chef's Kiss*

'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."

You can see his posts below.

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.

Design For New Commemorative Coin Featuring Trump Just Dropped—And People Can't Believe It's Real

On March 19, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), comprising people appointed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, unanimously approved a final design concept proposed for a 24-karat gold United States semiquincentennial commemorative coin.

Instead of featuring the Declaration of Independence or some other images central to the foundation of the nation in 1776 or more universally recognized symbols from the last 250 years, the CFA chose a sketch based on a photo of Trump leaning over the Resolute desk in the Oval Office for the coin's obverse or "heads" side.

Gavin Newsom Said What We're All Thinking About Trump's Decision To Deploy ICE To Airports

After President Donald Trump moved to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out exactly why the move is so troubling for citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
