Rubio's 'personal view' defense of Chick-fil-A is bogus. Here are the receipts.
It's not just the owner's 'personal view.' It's the nearly $1.8 million in foundation donations.

Earlier this month, Twitter’s CEO came under fire for giving free advertising on his feed to Chick-fil-A — apologizing a day later for talking up one of America’s most notoriously anti-LGBTQ companies and saying he “forgot about their background.”
Fox News screamed that this “sparked another round of backlash, this time from more conservative social media users, who questioned what the CEO of Twitter meant by ‘their background.'” And Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), who in 2016 cited the terror attack at a gay Orlando nightclub as his reason to run for Senate again after vowing not to do so but has consistently opposed LGBTQ rights, went ballistic.
“This lunacy has gone too far,” he wrote, claiming that Twitter’s Jack Dorsey had been “bullied” into apologizing for “patronizing” a company whose owners hold a “personal view taught by mainstream Christianity.”
But while Rubio’s tweetstorm claims that the ongoing criticism and boycott by the “twitter mob” of a company “owned by Christians” is purely about the owner’s “personal view,” recently released tax documents demonstrate that the company’s actions continue to be pro-discrimination.
