Robert Unanue, Goya Foods President and CEO, said on Friday the political left has weaponized the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus to take away God, culture, history, and liberty from the people of the United States.
“The problem is it’s a political year. They weaponized coronavirus. Unfortunately, they shut down this economy. The worst thing we could do is shut down our economy, kill our spirit. We need a reason to get up in the morning: God, family, work. And they are taking away our spirit, they’re taking away our ability to work,” Unanue told Fox News on Jan. 15.
“We’re one nation under God. We’re not one nation under Twitter. We’re not one nation under big media and or under central government. We’re trying to have media, Big Tech control our lives, the government control our lives,” he said.
“They want to cancel God. They want to cancel our speech. They want to cancel our culture, our history, our liberty. They want to control us, the few controlling the many. like a bunch of sheep. None of these people care about us, we can not move away from God. We need to love and to build, not hate and destroy,” he added.
Unanue said Goya experienced its most successful year in 2020 after leftists tried to boycott his products.
Unanue made sympathetic remarks about Trump earlier in 2020, comparing the president’s entrepreneurialism to that of his grandfather’s. His remarks sparked ire among Trump’s critics, with celebrities and politicians, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and former Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro, denouncing the brand or calling for Goya boycotts.
Ocasio-Cortez was nominated “employee of the month” in December by Goya after her call to boycott Goya stimulated a 10-fold growth in sales, Unanue told The Michael Berry Show.

They did this with no pushback from trump for months. No pushback from us either. Endless spenxing bills to finance the burning of our cities, signed by the prez. Now everyone acts shocked and wants to pushback.
Time for me to re-stock on Goya products.
I tried Goya’s pina colada mix for the first time,
it was so good, now I need to go out and get more.
bkmk
i can use some more tomatoes
I never once bought Goya products until the filthy Communists tried to cancel them. Now they’re my only brand.
Trump tried to push back. His own executive branch wouldn’t even support him. And forget about the corrupt GOP Senate. How nice of Graham to drop his ammo on the LAST friday of the Trump admin.
The worst thing we could do is shut down our economy, kill our spirit. We need a reason to get up in the morning: God, family, work.
