Chick-fil-A is getting slammed by conservative Twitter users who say the Georgia-based fast-food chain is “woke.”
On Tuesday, the fired-up social media users leveled accusations of “wokeness” against Chick-fil-A and suggested a boycott of the company known for its chicken sandwiches. They did so while pointing to Chick-fil-A’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) web page as the reason why.
Some mentioned the company’s vice president of DEI, Erick McReynolds. The longtime Chick-fil-A employee has had DEI leadership roles since mid-2020, according to The Hill.

“When we combine our unique backgrounds and experiences with a culture of belonging, we can discover new ways to strengthen the quality of care we deliver: to customers, to the communities we serve and to the world,” the page said. “We understand that getting Better at Together means we learn better, care better, grow better and serve better.”
It said its “commitment to being Better at Together means embedding Diversity, Equity & Inclusion in everything we do” by “ensuring equal access,” “valuing differences” and “creating a culture of belonging.”
