Democrats and other activists want to see legislation passed in New York that would require the popular fast-food restaurant, Chick-fil-A to be open on Sundays, Todd Starnes reports.

One of America’s most popular fast-food chains, Chick-fil-A is owned by the Cathay family who are evangelical Christians.

Its restaurants are typically closed on Sundays, so people can attend church and/or spend time with their families.

However, exceptions have been made in the past due to extenuating circumstances. In 2018, when Hurricane Florence hit North Carolina, staff at a Chick-fil-A were called in on a Sunday to not only make 1,700 chicken nuggets and sandwiches but to distribute them FREE OF CHARGE to shelters housing people due to the storm.

The proposed New York legislation notes that there is nothing wrong with being closed on Sunday but states:

“While there is nothing objectionable about a fast food restaurant closing on a particular day of the week, service areas dedicated to travelers is an inappropriate location for such a restaurant.”

Some allege that those proposing the legislation, which is purposefully targeting Chick-fil-A, are doing so simply because of its owner’s Christian beliefs.

Others have pointed to the hypocrisy of New York politicians, who are demanding Chick-fil-A be open seven days a week, and just a few years ago they wanted it closed and called for a boycott of the restaurants. READ: Poultry vs. Pinhead: New York City’s mayor says boycott Chick-fil-A
