Uh oh! I didn’t know that. We’ll have to wait and see what the Goya board does.
I think I saw a thread about it on FR at the time (end of January); not sure how much discussion it got.
I went digging a bit because I thought he spoke at the RNC last summer and found this. Now, it could be that Tim Murtahgh confused him with Maximo Alvarez and Unanue was never scheduled to speak. But Alvarez spoke on Monday during the ‘Land of Promise’ portion of the RNC convention.
A representative for Goya Foods says the company’s CEO Robert Unanue will not be speaking during the third evening of the Republican National Convention on Wednesday.
Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh had told reporters on a phone call Wednesday that Unanue would be among those making an appearance during Wednesday’s program, which is themed “Land of Heroes.”
However, Michael Estevez of Burson Cohn & Wolfe, a public relations firm representing Goya, subsequently told The Hill that Unanue would not be speaking at the RNC. The campaign did not respond to further questions about Unanue’s potential appearance during the program. Unanue was not named among the group of speakers issued by the campaign earlier Wednesday.
