South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham is still in New York State this week, fighting hard for the interests of, um, Chick-fil-A by lobbying against a state bill that would force a very narrow set of locations of the fast food chain, ones that haven’t even been built yet, ones only to be located at state-owned rest stops on the New York State Thruway, to remain open on Sundays.
Graham’s Wednesday spot on Fox News marks at least the second time in four days that the Palmetto State Republican was in Manhattan to advance the righteous cause of the Christian-themed fried chicken joint, as he made a public appearance at a Midtown Chick-fil-A on Saturday.
It’s not clear if Graham returned to South Carolina or Washington, DC in the intervening days. During his Fox News interview Graham assured the hosts and viewers that he wasn’t in the Empire State to force his personal beliefs about Chick-fil-A upon others, saying “The bottom line is Conservatives are tolerant, we are kind of get out of your business, you leave me alone, I’ll leave you alone.”
