Rep. Chip Roy On San Antonio City Council Reconsidering Banning Chick-fil-A From The Airport

April 12, 2019

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) released the following statement Friday regarding the San Antonio City Council's decision to reconsider banning Chick-fil-A from the San Antonio International Airport:

"I was pleased to see that San Antonio city councilman Greg Brockhouse is planning to motion to reconsider the city council's previous decision to ban Chick-fil-A from the San Antonio International Airport.

As I wrote in a letter to members of the city council last month, targeting individuals, organizations, or corporations for carrying out their deeply-held religious beliefs in accord with our laws and consistent with many Americans' similarly held religious beliefs is hardly making San Antonio a ‘champion of equality and inclusion.'

I hope the motion to reconsider results in a reversal of the council's initial decision that I can only describe as discriminatory and bigoted."
