Fanboys were stunned and upset Monday to find out that conservative Christian-themed fried chicken sandwich chain Chick-fil-A has a Vice President for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion on its corporate leadership team. “It’s only a matter of time until they start putting tranny semen in the frosted lemonade at this point,” tweeted MAGA “political strategist” Joey Mannarino in reaction to the news that Chick-fil-A “just hired a VP of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.”
Problem is that Erick McReynolds isn’t a new hire. His LinkedIn profile says he’s been with the company for more than 16 years, nearly three of them as “Executive Director” for DEI before he was promoted to Vice President of DEI in November 2021. That these dumbasses – including the Washington Examiner, who also characterize it as a new hire – didn’t pick this up earlier is on them. They’re supposed to be ever-vigilant against the threats posed by wokeness and they let this Chick-fal-A betrayal fly under their radar for three fucking years. The guy even delivered a graduation address at Georgia’s Clayton State University, introduced by his title, late last year.
