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."

I just like their chicken sandwiches.
"Militant Hate Group"?
Misrepresenting someone is dishonest.
You know, there are GAY Christians too?
I'd like someone to explain how they are 1) Militant and 2) a Hate Group.
They chickened out. Truly sad. Look for new hours soon - open on Sunday due to atheists revolt. Keep going with the flow and eventually you'll see the waterfall, then what?
Yes they did and I will never eat at that $hithole again.
"..I'd like someone to explain how they are 1) Militant and 2) a Hate Group.."
Just watch what they do and how they act. It's self-evident.
Poor Chic-fil-A. Can't please anybody (except their loyal customer base). They should just leave it at that. Success is success, and profits are the best reward.
The salvation army is not a Christian group, it is full of corruption, kudos to Chick-Fil-A
Why are people obsessed with this fast food joint ? The food is what it is I am certainly not patronizing them because of their beliefs. It's a soggy chicken patty and wilted lettuce on a sweaty bun with a canned pickle but people troff up to it like it's something great. Perfect business metaphor for our political climate.
It just doesn't taste that righteous or different.
They surrendered to Popeye's
". . . . that have been accused by gay rights activists of having anti-LGBTQ views."
So what? People are not allowed to make choices or have an opinion anymore? Stop throwing those perverts in our faces.
