Mike Huckabee: Chick-Fil-A ‘Surrendered to Anti-Christian Hate Groups’ and ‘Betrayed Loyal Customers’
Mike Huckabee has long championed Chick-fil-A in the face of attacks from the left but after the company’s announcement Monday to stop donating to two Christian organizations, he has changed his tune.
The company announced it was donating to initiatives that further its “mission of nourishing the potential in every child.” It said that in 2020 it would stop donating to two Christian organizations, the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and The Salvation Army, that have been accused by gay rights activists of having anti-LGBTQ views.
“In Aug. 2012, I coordinated a national Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day after they were being bullied by militant hate groups,” the former Arkansas governor tweeted Monday. “Today, Chick-fil-A betrayed local customers for $$. I regret believing they would stay true to convictions of founder Truett Cathy. Sad.”
The prominent conservative Christian leader added that the popular chicken chain’s move was seen as “surrendering to critics and betraying loyal customers to appease those who despise them.” . . .
In Aug 2012, I coordinated a national @ChickfilA Appreciation Day after they were being bullied by militant hate groups. Millions showed up. Today, @ChickfilA betrayed loyal customers for $$. I regret believing they would stay true to convictions of founder Truett Cathey. Sad.

Billy Hallowell, the author of “Pure Flix,” a Christian production company, said “the fact that the mainstream media has reduced the Salvation Army — one of the most important humanitarian groups around — to an ‘anti-LGBTQ organization,’ tells us everything we need to know about our current culture.” (Read more from “Mike Huckabee: Chick-Fil-A ‘Surrendered to Anti-Christian Hate Groups’ and ‘Betrayed Loyal Customers'” HERE)
