The fried chicken sandwiches of Chick-fil-A have become the unofficial cuisine of the culture wars. The fast food chain's contributions to homophobia at home and abroad prompted Democratic elected officials in some states to push back against new contracts with the company.

Subsequently, conservatives have embraced Chick-fil-A, buying it en masse to own the libs.


Years later, Chick-fil-A remains the most divisive fast food chain in the country. The University of Notre Dame's recent consideration of a Chick-fil-A on campus caused students to mobilize against the chain, emphasizing that a variety of restaurants would better serve the University's students.

An op-ed published the school paper called "Keep Chick-fil-A Away" cited the chain's donations to anti-LGBTQ causes and its participation in animal agriculture before concluding:

"Chick-fil-A is not the answer; there are better alternatives that would both enhance the array of on-campus dining options and support the well-being of an increasingly diverse student body."

Now, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has weighed in.

In a Twitter thread, Graham vowed to "go to war" for the principles of Chick-fil-A.



Graham hailed Chick-fil-A's "great values" which have prompted its owner to bankroll opposition to the Equality Act through an organization that promotes the dangerous and debunked conversion therapy practice.

It's unclear why Graham, of South Carolina, is concerned enough with developments at a university in Indiana to assure his constituents that he supports homophobic chicken.

The Senator was widely mocked for vowing to go to war over Chick-fil-A.






They thought Graham's priorities were wildly misplaced.




Chick-fil-A significantly increased its individual donations to the Republican party ahead of the 2020 election.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
