Goya Foods President and CEO Bob Unanue said on Friday that he is not backing down in the face of a boycott over his visit to the White House.

“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,” Unanue told "Fox & Friends."

Unanue said that the United States is the second-largest Hispanic country in the world behind Mexico.

By any means necessary: the motto of the radical left. It’s the only thing they believe in.

The remaining 116 days till the election are going to be really interesting!

Buy Goya products, usually in the aisle with ethnic or hispanic food. Their low cost beans are probably staples to many a poorer family.

We heard about this this morning and when we went grocery shopping today, we bought every Goya product we could find.

this hysterical attack on Goya just confirms how devastating both the visit by AMLO and the hispanic initiative was to the Dems

the Goya brand resonates with every Latino family...its CEO praising Trump did damage

Good to see a CEO who still has a spine.

Try my wife’s Puerto Rican bean recipe:

Warm medium sauce pan on stove top at medium-low temp.

Add a bit of vegetable oil.

Sautee Spanish cooking ham cut in squares.

6 GOYA olives stuffed with pimento, add to ham.

Add four heaping tablespoons of GOYA sofrito.

Add two table spoons of GOYA tomato sauce.

Add 1 can of GOYA pink or red kidney beans (the ones in water, not in tomato sauce), including the water.

Add more water, about 1/4 of can you just used.

Add one tablespoon of olive oil.

Add 1 packet of GOYA sazón.

Add chopped up potatoes or squash, about a cup full.

Add 1 tablespoon of GOYA recaíto (cilantro) or three fressh leaves if you can find them.

Salt to taste.

Let simmer for about 15 minutes.

Serve on top of steamed white rice, all as a side to your favorite meat.

I suspect that by being Hispanic they have a DAMN GOOD IDEA as to where mob rule ultimately leads.

Practically every Spanish-related food product in the supermarket aisles I've been to are Goya products.

If the CEO of one of the largest sources of food products for that segment of the population comes out for Trump, that's a major blow to the Dems plans of roping in the Hispanic vote for this and future elections.

They will probably try and get AOC to stem the bleeding by calling him, I don't know, whatever is the equivalent of "sellout" or "coon", you watch.

It’s difficult to take many of the threats to boycott seriously for a few reasons.

1. There’s little evidence those who claim to be boycotting a brand will actually follow through with the threat.
2. There’s little evidence that people claiming to be participating in a boycott are or ever were actually customers of the brand being boycott.
3. A counter-response for caving to threats.
4. The consumer will run out of producers to boycott.

The power and overuse of them will undoubtedly diminish their power and influence over time.
