New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday encouraged his constituents not to eat at a new Chick-fil-A restaurant opening in the city, citing the company’s pro-traditional marriage views.

“What the ownership of Chick-fil-A has said is wrong,” Mr. de Blasio said at a press conference, as reported by DNA Info.

“I’m certainly not going to patronize them, and I wouldn’t urge any other New Yorker to patronize them,” he said, adding that “they do have a legal right.”

Mr. de Blasio’s comments came after city Councilman Danny Dromm started a boycott for a new Chick-fil-A location opening in Queens.

“Chick-fil-A is anti-LGBT,” Mr. Dromm said in a statement....

That should help them.

An elected official, using his office to lead a boycott. I think there is basis for a lawsuit.

[Mr. Mojo]

Yep, Chick fil-A couldn’t buy better advertising.

Once people taste it, they’ll tell others who just want a damn good chikin sammich and some waffle fries without the politics.

I know this is NYC but the last boycott had cars at a Chick-fil-A here backed up down the highway and filling a shopping center parking lot.

here in Indiana

Dang I’m hungry

With my new job I’ve been blessed to have one near me even here in MA. The place is awesome. Polite, great food, fast service. They have it down in spades.

We don’t have Chik-fil-A in our area, but next time I am in DC or NY area - I will search one out, fast the entire day beforehand, and have a huge meal there.

LOL! Somebody needs to remind Wilhelm that a boycott didn’t work out very well the last time the perverts did this. LOL! Commie libs are such morons.

If my job was in NYC I would eat there every day. I challenge these douche bags to find the personnel policy forcing employees to avoid same sex marriages.

I remember the last time someone called for a Chick-Fil-A boycott. Their business jumped by 12% that year, and a lot of those customers continued coming back. CFA was doing $4B in 2012, and did $5.7B in 2015.

Definitely, it will help them...

Those waffle fries are THE BOMB.

I know where I’m having lunch this weekend: Chik-Fil-A in Walnut Creek.

[Mr. Mojo]

I’ve never eaten there, but I just looked it up and found one about an hour and change away. Looking forward to it.

[digger48]

If you like chikin sandwiches, you’d be hard put to find any better.

Libs get a moderately acceptable inch; but, then, cannot resist the thrill of lengthening their tyrannies.
Hubris is a great sin. And all do suffer for it.

[funfan]

He should tell them a;; to go to KFC for the secret sauce.

[SWAMP-C1PHER]

It is absolutely delicious.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Don’t go during rush hours. The last boycott did nothing to the CFAs here. If you don’t go before or after the lunch and dinner rush, expect a long wait.

NYC needs to be cut off at the city limits, pushed out to sea, and have the plug pulled.
