Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg joked about brokering a “peace deal” between Chick-fil-A and the LGBT community during an interview on Tuesday.

The openly gay mayor of South Bend, Indiana, declared his appreciation for the fast food chain even though they have been accused of supporting causes that discriminate against the LGBT community.

“I do not approve of their politics, but I kind of approve of their chicken,” Buttigieg said during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club.”

“Maybe if nothing else, I can build that bridge. Maybe I’ll become in a position to broker that peace deal.”

The 37-year-old mayor, who has formed an exploratory committee to run for the Democratic nomination, also stressed the importance of finding common ground with those who may be different.

“We’ve got to find a way to use our identities to reach other people,” Buttigieg said.

“What can we talk about that brings us together? Because I have no clue what it’s like to walk in the shoes of so many other people. But I can talk about some of the pieces of what I carry with me, and see if it rhymes with their life experience.”

Buttigieg mentioned a number of experiences that could allow people to better understand each other.

“Good art has that, good music has that, good literature has that,” he said about bridging the gap.

Co-host Charlamagne Tha God then joked: “Good chicken sandwiches.”

The chain has been the subject of controversy recently as the San Antonio City Council voted to block Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant at San Antonio International Airport.

In response to that vote, a company spokesperson told NBC News that “Chick-fil-A embraces all people, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity.”
