WASHINGTON, D.C.—Under intense pressure from their left-leaning constituents to do something about the dangerous, Christian-founded restaurant chain, Democrats in the House of Representatives unveiled legislation Tuesday that would make it a hate crime to eat at Chick-fil-A.
The CFAHATE Act Of 2018 would make it a hate crime punishable by federal law to dine at the restaurant or use its drive-thru, with extra punishments for people who post that they’re eating at the restaurant on their social media accounts. The legislation would also impose heftier penalties for anyone who patronizes the extremist hate group’s chicken sandwich establishments during Pride Month.
“We want people making fast-food dining choices to think carefully about a restaurant’s background,” House Minority Leader and bill co-sponsor Nancy Pelosi said in a video posted to her official YouTube account. “If a restaurant’s leadership is associated with Christian values in any way, frequenting their locations amounts to literal violence against minorities, women, and the LGBTQ+ community.”
According to Pelosi, the legislation was rushed into motion after Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey posted that he was eating at Chick-fil-A on his Twitter account over the weekend, and was later forced to apologize after weathering severe criticism by progressives. Federal agents found they were unable to prosecute him, since eating at a Christian-owned restaurant wasn’t “technically” defined as a hate crime under United States law.
“It’s 2018. It’s time to put intolerance behind us by making any association with Christians in the public sphere simply intolerable,” Pelosi concluded.

Yes, it’s satire. But just barely.
Satire is tough to do these days. I was more than ready to believe this true. Plenty of places might even pass something like this.
House Democrats Draft Legislation That Would Make It A Hate Crime To Eat At Chick-Fil-A.
And we thought Hitler and the nazis were all dead.
Hey, let go my Chick Fila! If I want to eat a hate sandwich ( sic) , that’s my constitutional right!
Liberal Fascism on the rise.
And who is its prime mover?

Here’s my satire:

It’s not satire in NYS.
Do you know how hard it is to get a Chick FIL A approved in this state?!
It may have been satire when written a year ago. Today? Not so much.
Snopes and Verify took it seriously enough to do a piece on it.
BB has to write and publish lightning-fast to stay ahead of reality. They may have to give up their /s/ tag and just go for “social documentary.”
Sad to say.
It’s a town issue. Once outside the large cities/suburbs it is not an issue.
But I love chicken!
Hilarious commentary on that exact point from several years ago, regarding Chick-fil-A. Link only for language.
The marx-o-crats are nodding their heads in agreement. They would not consider this satire.
Don’t give them any ideas, Jethro.

Au contraire, pard. It's local, county, AND state. Small town to big city. The pols in this state at EVERY level, Dems and RINOs, have a mad-on for Chick Fil A.
It might be better if they passed a law requiring businesses
to only use “gender neutral chickens”.
Many a true word spoken in jest.
