Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has declared war over a New York bill that poses a conflict with Chick-fil-A s closed on Sundays policy.
The South Carolina senator took to social media on Friday to criticize New York State officials over the bill, which would require restaurants that are part of the states highway system rest areas to be open seven days a week .
The bill wouldnt immediately apply to restaurants currently operating at the state rest areas, but would impact future contracts for food service there, The Associated Press noted.
This is war, wrote Graham in defense of the fast-food chain, which has maintained founder S. Truett Cathys policy for employees to use Sundays to spend time with family or worship .
Graham later shared a picture of him in front of a Chick-fil-A restaurant in midtown Manhattan, a location that wouldnt be impacted if the bill were to become law, to send a clear message.

Hands off OUR Chick-Fil-A! Graham wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
He noted if the bill goes forward, hed introduce legislation withholding federal funds from any city or state that requires Chick-fil-A to open on Sunday.
New York is off base and their actions will not go unanswered, he wrote .
As if the insanity by the left couldnt get any worse, Democrats in New York are trying to force @ChickfilA to open on Sundays
I showed up to their Manhattan location today while visiting NYC to send a clear message:
Hands off OUR Chick-Fil-A!

A number of critics on X mocked Graham for his clear message about the chicken sandwich spot.
Dear Moron:
The law is: if you get one of the monopolies on the NY State Thruway you have to be open seven days a week for the sake of the drivers who have nowhere else to eat.
Also fuck you, you Trumpist whore. Oh and your Chick-Fil-A crapshack food too.
