Conservatives Urge Goya ‘Buycott’ to Counter Hate for CEO Who Praised Trump

The left has launched a boycott campaign against Goya Food products after president and CEO Bob Unanue praised President Donald Trump at a White House event on Thursday to announce the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative.

But Unanue is not backing down and support for him and his company is growing, including some encouraging people to “buycott” instead of boycott Goya products.

Unanue said on Fox and Friends on Friday about his remarks at the White House about the country being blessed to have Trump as president:

We were part of a commission called the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative and they called on us to be there to see how we could help opportunities within the economic and educational realm for prosperity among Hispanics and among the United States.

“My brother came up with a terrific idea and I am encouraging all to join me in purchasing $10 worth of @GoyaFoods products and donating them to your local food bank. Let’s push a BUY-cott, not a boycott. Let’s show the #Goyaway people what compassion can do,” podcast host Mike Opelka tweeted on Friday.

His tweet has thousands of retweets and likes.

I've been a Goya buyer for years. I cook with Adobo, I drink lots of Coco Water and use some of their other products as well. I was actually surprised (because as liberals have forgotten, President Obama praised Goya publicly in 2011 as one of the best companies in the US.) to learn that they were a company run by a mix of conservatives and liberals (!!!) and a company that simply hires the best people. (What a concept right?) In an age where hiring and corporate governance are dominated by political discrimination (and if you don't, the left will boycott you) here's a company that rejects it openly. Good on them. To AOC and the other haters, shame on you. Shame! Goya is America.

I stocked up yesterday. As long as he does not apologize, I will continue to buy.

[moovova]

Did my part yesterday at the local “intercultural” grocery store.

[lonestar67]

I bought several items yesterday for the first time.

[rovenstinez]

Seems to have been a big success, as people I know went and found empty shelves.

[ifinnegan]

What’s good to buy from them?

[Jeff Chandler]

I cook with Adobo

Mrs. Chandler makes a Puerto Rican chicken fricassee with Goya adobo that would knock your socks off.

[Old Yeller]

I’m in. Let’s give them the Chik-Fil-A treatment. Years ago the Godless tried to boycott them, and ever since, conservatives line up daily to buy CFA.

"What’s good to buy from them?"

They carry a gazillion types of beans, and they are all top quality.

Lots of Goya beans in my SHTF shelves.

Not any more. They caved and now support the gay and weird mob.

My wife bought a dozen cans BEFORE all of this

We WILL BE BUYING MORE . . . besides, the products are damn good

Let’s support this gentleman and his company Both food banks and personally

[Trillian]

The left is pretending to be outraged, again.

[ifinnegan]

Thanks.

I’m looking and see a lot of juice that seems good.

[Bullish]

Too bad I can’t stand adobo.

[Maris Crane]

Goya has an excellent green olive stuffed with anchovies that our local supermarkets do not carry.

I wish they would.

We have to buy the cans by the case...12 cans for around $25.
We are placing an order right now.

[manc]

Never bought anything from them , but yesterday we went out and bought a lot of their products

Besides, their stuff is quality.

[Presbyterian Reporter]

And after purchasing the Goya frijoles, stop off at the local gun store and buy more ammo.

Nothing is more fun than watching steam rising from leftist heads.

[matthew fuller]

I’ve been a sometimes buyer of Goya products for years, and I plan to increase now.
