On Thursday Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue praised President Donald Trump in the White House during the president’s meeting with Hispanic leaders.

Robert Unanue: We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder. And that’s what my grandfather did. He came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper. And so we have an incredible builder and we pray for our leadership, our president. And we pray for our country that we will continue to prosper and to grow.

Of course, this did not go well with the cancel culture mob of Marxists.
They were outraged that the Goya Foods CEO would praise Donald Trump and posted their familiar threats against the CEO and lies about President Trump.

And, as Kristinn Taylor reported earlier, the left immediately threatened the CEO and the company.

Hey @GoyaFoods, you do realize your CEO Robert Unanue pledged his (your) love for a man that hates Hispanics and Latinos? He just tanked @GoyaFoods #Goyaway

RE: I hope he has the cojones to not reverse himself later.

And that is exactly what NFL star, Drew Brees did after he initially said during an interview that he “will never agree with anybody disrespecting the flag of the United States of America or our country”.

A few days later, he apologized for having said what he said, with his wife also apologizing in tow.

What a disappointment !!

Yep- after so many ‘conservatives’ backing down- We just get this sinking feeling whenever a conservative under attack declares they won’t back down- We keep hoping they won’t- but sadly many do when they feel the financial pinch-

Hope this guy remains strong- Chic Filet caved in the end sadly-

From Wikipedia:

Goya Foods, Inc. is an American producer of a brand of foods sold in the United States and many Hispanic countries. It has facilities in different parts of the United States, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and Spain. It is under third-generation ownership of the Unanue family, and is headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA.

Goya manufactures and distributes products from the Spanish, Puerto Rican, Caribbean, Mexican, Cuban and Central and South American cuisine. Their products are sold in stores and supermarket chains throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, and international markets. In 2006, Forbes ranked Goya 355th on its list of the largest private companies in the United States.

Between 2014 and 2016 Goya opened five new facilities including manufacturing and distribution centers located in New Jersey, Texas, California, and Georgia to meet rising consumer demand. Currently, Goya Foods is headquartered on a 40-acre (16 ha) lot in Jersey City, New Jersey. Goya also operates a manufacturing facility in San Cristóbal, Dominican Republic, and a distribution center in Bayamón, Puerto Rico.

Goya was founded in 1936, by Prudencio Unanue Ortiz (1886–1976) from Valle de Mena, Spain. Unanue emigrated to Puerto Rico, where he met and married Carolina Casal (1890–1984) also a Spanish immigrant and they later moved to New York City.[5][6] Prudencio purchased the “Goya” name from a Moroccan sardine company because he believed that his last name was too difficult to pronounce for American customers and also liked the association to Spanish artist Francisco Goya.

The company was initially set up as a small store in the Financial District of Manhattan, importing authentic Spanish foods like olives and olive oil which catered to the growing Hispanic population in New York City. Driven by a rapid growing Hispanic community in New York and elsewhere in the United States, Goya extended its product line and facilities in order to supply their growing consumer base.

In 1958, the company relocated to Brooklyn and in 1974 to New Jersey, where it currently holds its headquarters. In 1992 Goya began to focus promotion efforts to market its products to consumers beyond the Hispanic diaspora.

It’s a political trap for leftists. If Wal-mart, Target and Amazon engage the leftwing boycott, they negatively hit is every Latin American group in the US.
Goya Foods business model markets to Latin American groups individually. They find favorite foods from the home countries and provide them here.
