Allen West Upsets Black Caucus After Sending Chick-fil-A to Their Weekly Meeting

Rep. Allen West (R-FL) upset members of the radical Black Caucus after he sent Chick-fil-A to a weekly meeting.
This happened months ago.
FOX Nation reported this from Mediaite:
Rep. Allen West reportedly offended the entire Congressional Black Caucus when he delivered a selection of Chick-fil-A chicken and biscuits to the members’ weekly meeting. CBC Chairman Rep. Alcee Hastings (D-FL) told The Huffington Post that, despite the incident happening six months ago, it is still fresh in their minds and every member was offended.
Despite that this incident occurred months prior to the public dustup that followed Chick-fil-A’s CEO voicing his support for traditional marriage, Hastings told The Huffington Post that the members of the CBC were offended by West’s choosing that particular fast food chain to cater their meeting.
Really? This upset them?
They could have just said “thank you.”

SIX MONTHS AGO, WHY? WAY BEFORE CATHY’S STATEMENT, MAYBE THE WANTED SOME POPEYE’S OR KFC THAT DAY.
FOOD THAT IS GOOD, DOESN’T MATTER WHAT CHAIN IT IS.

Man, being in the greivance industry is tiring.
You have to keep track of all the different things that are offensive.
Isn’t this the ‘spitting’ guy?
Tell me, did anybody eat the chicken?

‘They could have just said “thank you.”’
Naw; they’re in Congress. The feel entitled to a Free Lunch.

The leftist hate never ends. This occurred BEFORE Nerobama evolved on his marriage position, BTW. Wish we had CFA here in Door County, WI. Closest one in Racine.

ROFLMAO – love his sense of humor

hmmm… as I adorn my tin foil hat, quite fashionably I must say, I venture down the road of thought that: this CFA fiasco was planned. Much as a chess player plans their moves… could it be? It has always been known that CFA holds Christian morals and values, so, how easy would it have been to ‘set up’ the questions in which CFA answered pro Biblical Marriage? Why would anyone be upset about being treated to CFA, unless they knew in advance the storm that was forming? OK, I’m done with the crazy theories… :/ just seems to me, that MUCH of what is happening in America today is planned and carried out in a way that We the People are used as pawns in a big game. O_o
Sarah commented:
So so so so sick of the endless list of grievances. “Offended?” Really? If that’s the case, it’s hopeless.

#3: The infamous ‘spitter’ was Emanuel Cleaver-D… Kansas City. Alcee Hastings is an impeached federal judge that sits in the House; probably forever.
Reaganite Republican commented:
Shut up and eat your chicken- you know you love it lol
BarbaraS commented:
Bet they ate that chicken without a qualm. I can’t imagine them turning down something free especially when they didn’t have to ask for it or finagle it. The truth is they are afraid the republicans will bring up this gift and they are trying squelch the whole incident. As we have noted in the past, the black caucus is made up of many stupid people. I think the members of the caucus are appeasing obama and not going by the wishes of their constitutents. Hopefully, anyway.

Know what upsets me? The existence of a marxist racist cabal like the CBC, paid for with my tax dollars.

Hey when you’re an “everything-offends-me-send-money-pimp”, Everything offends him.

Black people eat fried chicken and watermelon. I am a white guy and i eat fried chicken and watermelon. My father-inlaw pasters a church in south Texas with 350 members and 40% of them are black folks. Some Sundays after church we all eat fried chicken and watermelon together. The Congressional Black Caucus needs to stop the hate and eat fried and watermelon.
BarbaraS commented:
#7 It’s not even that good. They are riding on the coattails of this farce. Poor things want attention.

alcee hastings? really? he wouldn’t try to exploit this little episode after the fact, would he? this is the business of the race hucksters…ask the conservative black pastors what they think of hastings and his overlord obama

’Chick-fil-a isn’t turning away customers for their beliefs like they did to blacks during the civil rights movement.
Black Caucus needs to examine their hearts and minds. Prejudice, I would say the black caucus is acting that way. They have a big problem because as we all see it, this was about someone making a statement on their personal beliefs. Isn’t it odd that blacks are discriminated Cathy’s stance on Gay Marriage.
If those of us who believe as Cathy does are we going to be hated for our beliefs?
Blacks had their beliefs during the civil rights movement and great strides for equality was a success. As it should be they have rights, Cathy doesn’t, his views are less than theirs?
So, blacks won’t eat chicken from Chick-fil-a. They have their freedom and right not to eat there but they are offended? OFFENDED IS SITTING ACT THE BACK OF THE BUS. OFFENDED IS HAVING FREEDOMS BEING TAKEN AWAY AND ILLEGALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THEN CITIZENS, OFFENDED IS WHEN Obama To GOP: ‘They Can Come For The Ride, But They Have To Sit In Back,
Many Political leaders have said some very racial things, they seem to be getting a PASS.
They must be living in the past. We all have rights to speak our mind. REALLY, AMERICA, WE DO, NOT OFFENSIVELY BUT TRUTHFULLY.
I suppose the black caucus have a right not to eat at Chick-fil-a but Caucus’s reaction is not their greatest moment.
Patty commented:
Chick-fil-a isn’t turning away customers for their beliefs like they did to blacks during the civil rights movement.
NOT SAYING CHICK-FIL- A EVER DID, HERE.
You know what I mean, 50′s and 60′s and before, blacks were denied by many establishments.
Patty commented:
Caucus needs to clean up and clean out their closets.
