Chick-fil-A CEO Issues Perfect Response to Annoying NBC Anchor After Leftist Badgers Him Over Company’s Position on LGBTQ Rights (VIDEO)

The CEO of one of the most beloved fast-food chains in America perfectly handled a sly corporate news hack who tried to paint him and his company as hostile to the gay community.

Chick-fil-A CEO Andrew Cathy sat down with NBC’s Craig Melvin on Wednesday to discuss the company, including its devotion to the Christian faith and past positions that triggered radical leftists.

Throughout the interview, Cathy refused to apologize or back down, while also not giving the company’s haters any bulletin-board material.

“It is our anchor, in the sense of what our corporate purpose states: that we’re in business to glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that’s entrusted to us and have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A,” Cathy told Melvin.

Melvin then asked how the company would respond to LGBTQ activists still angered over Dan Cathy, the father of Andrew and the previous Chick-Fil-A CEO, for publicly stating back in 2012 that the company was opposed to gay marriage.

This caused thousands of woke Americans to boycott the company for merely expressing an opinion that was quite mainstream at the time.

But Cathy did not take the bait.

Instead, he issued a response that perfectly represents what companies are supposed to do: serving clients regardless of political beliefs.

“Anybody who hasn’t tried us, we’d love for you to come try and have our great-tasting food and the hospitality that we’re known for,” Cathy replied.

“Everybody that’s willing to walk in the door, they’re welcome to come eat with us,” he added. “We would love to give them a great-tasting sandwich and great hospitality.”

“We’re focused on serving everybody that’s coming to eat with us.”

The Daily Mail notes that back in 2019, four years after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of nationwide same-sex marriage, Chick-fil-A announced a change to its charitable giving strategy.

Instead of focusing on issues related to marriage, it would instead steer its donations to organizations working in education, homelessness, and hunger.
