DISGUSTING: Chick-fil-A Plans to Donate to Pro-LGBT Youth Charity Founded by Alleged Molestor Priest
Since making the announcement that they would stop supporting pro-family charities earlier this week, Chic-fil-A has been performing damage control against criticisms that they turned their backs on their Christian customers who helped them become the world’s leading chicken restaurant.
They were able to pull the wool over the eyes of Rev. Franklin Graham, who defended the fast food giant after talking with Chic-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy.
“I picked up the phone and called Dan Cathy. Dan was very clear that they have not bowed down to anyone’s demands, including the LGBTQ community. They will continue to support whoever they want to support,” Graham wrote in a Facebook post.
“They haven’t changed who they are or what they believe. Chick-fil-A remains committed to Christian values. Dan Cathy assured me that this isn’t going to change. I hope all those who jumped to the wrong conclusion about them read this,” he added.
Liberty Counsel chairman Mat Staver took Graham to task in an open letter for CBN News for defending Chic-fil-A following their shameful capitulation.
“Franklin, you have done a huge disservice by not doing more investigation into Chick-Fil-A’s betrayal and capitulation to the LGBT agenda,” he wrote.
In his open letter, Staver noted that Chic-fil-A would no longer be donating to Salvation Army and would instead fund Covenant House International.
Covenant House is a charity rooted in the Catholic Church that targets homeless children and brings them into their facilities. It was founded by Father Bruce Ritter in 1973. Abuse victim Darryl Bassile claims that Ritter sexually abused him after bringing him into the Covenant House when he was a homeless youth.
Bassile was denied the ability to file a lawsuit in 1993 against Ritter, Covenant House and the Conventual Franciscans because the statute of limitations had expired. Ritter died in 1999.
“At 14, what was I to do? Was I to say no? Was I to be put back on the streets?” Bassile said earlier this year. “I stayed, and I endured until I...
Timeline of alleged “sabotage” of Trump in 2016 by Democrats, Ukraine
- Republican senators request records related to reported Ukraine-Democrats’ role in 2016 anti-Trump efforts
- Democrats deny both interference by Ukraine, and coordination between Ukraine and Democrats
- Timeline of key allegations and events follows
According to reporting in Politico in 2017, the alleged efforts by Democrats and Ukraine to “sabotage” the Trump campaign in 2016 did impact the race, even though Trump won in the end.
Both Politico and Yahoo News interviewed a Democratic National Committee (DNC) consultant named Alexandra Chalupa.
Democrats have repeatedly claimed the reporting on Chalupa, her work for the DNC, her meetings with Ukrainians, and her meetings with reporters in Ukraine and the U.S., is “debunked” and a “conspiracy theory.” In public accounts since the original news articles, Chalupa has claimed her role and intentions have been misrepresented.
A Ukrainian-American, Chalupa reportedly acknowledged in a 2017 interview with Politico that she worked as a consultant for the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 campaign to publicly expose Trump campaign aide Paul Manafort’s links to pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine.
Chalupa reportedly told Politico that she began researching Manafort in 2014.
In 2014, the FBI investigated, and then reportedly wiretapped, Manafort for allegedly not properly disclosing Russia-related work. FBI failed to make a case at the time, according to CNN, and discontinued the wiretap.
On March 25, 2016, according to Politico, Chalupa–who previously worked in the Clinton administration–met with top Ukrainian officials at the Ukrainian Embassy in Washington D.C. in an effort to tarnish the Trump campaign in favor of Hillary Clinton by exposing “ties between Trump, top campaign aide Paul Manafort and Russia.”
The Ukrainian embassy proceeded to work “directly with reporters researching Trump, Manafort and Russia to point them in the right directions,” according to an embassy official (though other officials later deny engaging in election-related activities.)
On March 30, 2016, Chalupa reportedly briefed Democratic National Committee (DNC) staff on alleged Russian ties to Manafort and Trump. It was the day after the Trump campaign hired Manafort to manage the July Republican convention.
With the “DNC’s encouragement,” Chalupa reportedly asked the Ukrainian embassy to arrange a meeting with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to discuss Manafort’s lobbying for...
Chick-Fil-A Orders Values to Go
If the last 24 hours have proven anything about Chick-fil-A, it’s this: It was never about the chicken.
For millions of Americans, there was a much deeper significance behind every decision to pull in the parking lot and walk through those doors. It wasn’t about the menu. It wasn’t even about the service. It was that every time someone ate there, they were making a cultural statement. Chick-fil-A was a business, yes. But it was also a giant rebuttal of everything the bullies stood for. Until it wasn’t.
Maybe that’s why people are in such denial. They don’t want to believe that the place where they felt at home, the place they’d put on a pedestal and invested so much personal capital, betrayed them.
Deep down, I think we all want to explain away Chick-fil-A’s decision. It’s a lot easier than the alternative, which is accepting and grieving the fact that this company—a brave holdout for so many years—is running away from the people and principles that made them who they are.

Pushing that under the rug may feel better in the short-term, but it’s not an option for anyone who understands the long-term implications of waving a white flag on God’s truth. For us, this isn’t a gray area. The decision to desert these groups is a radical departure from biblical teaching.
Now, some of you might argue that walking away from the Salvation Army or Fellowship of Christian Athletes isn’t an endorsement of an LGBT agenda. But it is exactly that. And here’s why. Chick-fil-A didn’t just switch its giving practices, it broadcasted it.
It made a conscious choice to draw attention to this very public divorce from two Bible-believing charities. And then, in a calculated move, announced its support was going to an organization that, on its website, openly and proudly supports everything about the LGBT community.
“Their defense is that they haven’t changed anything,” Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee told listeners on Tuesday’s “Washington Watch,” but, “I’m just going to be blunt,” he said. “That’s not honest. Because when you turn from Salvation Army and you go to organizations like Covenant House, you’ve made a big statement about who you want your friends to be, who you are willing to affiliate with, and what your priorities are.”
This isn’t about loving and serving the people who identify as LGBT, which the Salvation Army has done—and we’re all called to do. This is about affirming the LGBT identity and the politics that go with it. Those are two very different things.
As Christians, we’re called to love—not affirm. God didn’t celebrate our sin, He loved us enough to save us from it. And that’s the difference here.
Romans 12 warns us not to “conform to the pattern of this world—but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” This kind of capitulation doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a slow and...
Asylum seeker accused of attempted arson after smashing alcohol bottles in German store & trying to IGNITE them (VIDEO)
An asylum seeker who ransacked the alcohol aisle of a German supermarket, causing €1,000 ($1,100) worth of damage, is being investigated for attempted arson after allegedly trying to set the flammable spillage alight.
The 24-year-old Afghan “rioted” in a supermarket in Nordhausen, central Germany on Thursday, local police said, sweeping scores of wine and spirit bottles off a shelf. According to Nordhauser Kriminalpolizei investigators, he then tried to ignite the alcohol.
Footage from the store’s CCTV system shows the man walking up and down the aisle, apparently perusing the wares, before suddenly lashing out and systematically clearing a whole shelf of bottles onto the floor.
The man was brought...
