   in this nation, and this time, the arena is fast food giant chick - fil - a , the popular national sandwich chain. The company is under fire for what its ceo said about what kons tults an american family. Everyone from politicians to the muppets taking sides. Abc's ron claiborne explains. Reporter: The head of atlanta-based chick - fil - a has never made a secret of his christian conservative leanings. His national chain with over 1,600 outlets is never open on sundays. But dan cathy's latest comments denouncing gay marriage set off a firestorm. I think we are inviting god's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say "we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage." Reporter: Reaction was swift. The henson company which had partnered with chick - fil - a to bring muppet toys to kid's meals, announced it was ending their commercial relationship. And in chicago, where a new chick - fil - a was slated to open on this site, public officials said today, not a chance. Chick - fil - a's values are not chicago values. They're not respectful of our residents, our neighbors and our family members. Reporter: In a statement to abc news, chick - fil - a said it treatments "every person with honor, dignity, and respect regardless of their belief, race, creed, sexual orientation or gender." Unless there's a really good reason and there rarely is, the personal views of the individual in charge of the company, it's not a kwood idea to co-mingle them with the product. Reporter: But chick - fil - a is fighting back. Today, the chain said it pulled the muppet toys because of safety concerns, before henson cut its ties to them. And mick huckabee and rick santorum are leaping to the defense of chick - fil - a . Santorum tweeting "with two of my boys enjoying chick-in-strips and an awesome peach shake at chick - fil - a ." Some conservative organizations are calling for a show of support for chick - fil - a by eating at the restaurants next week. Tens of thousands of people have said they will do that. All right, thank you
