As part of a piece on Friday’s CBS This Morning about the opening of the first freestanding Chick-fil-A in New York City, correspondent Vladimir Duthiers couldn’t help but harp on the company’s conservative Christian values and how they had to supposedly draw customers back “in 2012 when those values ran afoul of public sentiment” after “CEO Dan Cathy affirmed his support for tradition marriage.”

Speaking with Vice President of Product Strategy David Farmer, Duthiers also skeptically asked him if the company would stand in the way of a Muslim or Jewish person who wanted to work for the company (to which Farmer shot back that what only mattered was whether they wanted to serve others and build a business).
