On Friday, Senator Lindsey Graham, R-SC, uploaded a picture of himself 700 miles away from his home state of South Carolina, standing in front of a New York City Chick-fil-A with a small crowd of people milling about in the background. He attached the caption: “I showed up to their Manhattan location today while visiting NYC to send a clear message: Hands off OUR Chick-Fil-A!”
Graham was specifically protesting a proposed New York bill that would require restaurants at rest stops on the New York Thruway be open seven days per week, which directly challenges Chick-fil-A’s policy of being closed on Sundays.
