NEW YORK (AP) -- Goya Foods is facing a swift backlash after its CEO praised President Donald Trump at White House event.
...
"We all truly blessed, at the same time, to have have a leader like President Trump who is a builder," Unanue said standing at a podium beside Trump.
...
As clips of Unanue’s remarks circulated on social media Thursday, Latinos and longtime supporters of Goya’s food slammed the CEO’s commendation of Trump, citing the president’s incendiary rhetoric and controversial policies aimed at minority communities and immigrants. By early Friday, “Goya” was still a top trending term on Twitter along with the hashtags #Goyaway and #BoycottGoya as a number of public figures, and Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) and former presidential candidate Julián Castro, criticized Unanue — a third-generation Spanish American — for praising Trump.
...
Former presidential candidate Julian Castro was among those to take to Twitter, saying Unanue praised someone who villainizes Goya's customer base.
...
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York said she would learn to make from scratch some of the Latin cuisine that Goya makes.
...
Goya recently donated thousands of pounds of food to families in the Bronx and Harlem who have been affected by COVID-19. The company also made a big donation to a public school in Queens.

I just bought a Goya product yesterday.
There are times when the mundane chore of grocery shopping can satisfyingly become like a political statement. :)
I will make it a point to purchase Goya products whenever I can.
I’ll make it a point to go Goya when I can on groceries.
Don’t forget to walk past Star Kist tuna and other products owned by Delmonte, a major contributor to Pelousy.
Great idea! Me too.
Just watched Charles Payne on Fox DESTROY those who went after Goya, like AOC—who he referred to as SANDY:)!
Said his wife is Puertorican, and their pantry is full of Goya products, and they’re going to double down on using them!
Watching him made my day!
*puts goya on shopping list*
Goya foods markets it's products to individual Latin American groups. It finds out what foods are popular in those countries and then markets them here.
If these leftist corporations pull a boycott, all Latin American descended people who will feel the brunt of it, especially women. Anyone who was apolitical will be on the other side of a leftist hit job..
Today being Friday it is a shopping day for me so I have added a note to my shopping list to buy extra items made by Goya. I already buy a few items with the Goya name so I guess I’ll be buying extra things today and in the future to show my appreciation.

I use Goya products quite often and will continue to do so.
Private company, no stock issued.
I’ve already run in to the grocery store this morning to buy some Goya/
After the BLM racists tried burning down Mexican businesses, Trump will easily notch 40% or better of the Mexican vote. The Nazi rat party is finished.
A tiny cadre of seditionists send out a myriad of bots pretending to be actual people boycotting Goya. In reality Goyas sales increase much like Chik-fil-a.
Soooo many ways for thugs to “burn” things down... buildings, books, companies, reputations... evil is among us.
“I’ll make it a point to go Goya when I can on groceries.”
ME TOO, and we could also buy some extra for the food pantry for the needy (as Goya is doing).
