What??? This is insane.

[cranked]

Latinos boycotting.

Yeah, way to lump them all together and make it like its a majority of them or some sh*t. Clickbait.

[OKSooner]

Really? What kinda stuff do they make? Salsa and stuff?

Going to the store this PM, I'll be sure to get something.

No food, no oil or gas, no electricity. The socialist dream is being lived in Venezuela.

Don’t leave the Plantation!

“Latinos” are not boycotting. Marxist groups who claim to represent the interests of Latinos are. The people who run those groups are usually “Latino” in only the most attenuated sense.

[Red Badger]

Of course it is. But it isn’t what you think. It’s what they want you to think...................

Buy Goya. I like their products.

[Gay State Conservative]

And,of course,the Amazon Compost is announcing this loud and clear in order to intensify and spread the boycott.

I guess that explains "Democracy Dies With Democrats" on their masthead.

Until covid and the riots hit blacks and hispanics had the lowest unemployment rate in history.

Orange man bad!

Makes brown people work!

Won't give them free s**t like dems promise!

SOME Latinos are boycotting, you know the socialist, leftist type. The rest; freedom loving, hard working, church oriented, not so much.

I just added some Goya products to my shopping list.

Perfectly stated. I am an actual Puerto Rican from Puerto Rico. I don't know about "latinos" but at least all the "Hispanics" I know can't live without Goya products.

Goya Products

I never heard of them until a couple of months ago when I saw their products in a Krogers store. I love their black bean soup. Their products I've see are things like boxed mexican and spanish rice, canned beans and vegetables, refried beans, etc. I'm definitely going to buy more GOYA from now on.

Saw the CEO on Fox and Friends this morning. He said he was on Michelle O's task force to promote better nutrition. Now the libs want to boycott him for being a Trump task force. He didn't sound intimidated.

excerpt from WAPO piece puts names on public figures critcizing VOYA

Unanue is a true patriot.

(I'm buying some of VOYA beans today)

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.

Next time into the food store I will be purchasing some GOYA products!

[toothfairy86]

Goya makes some excellent products. Canned beans, bottled drinks, dry goods, etc. Especially “Sazon Goya”. You can’t make a good Arroz con pollo without Sazon Goya!

[cdcdawg]

“all the “Hispanics” I know can’t live without Goya products.”

Yeah, I don’t see that boycott holding up or even really getting started, especially over the CEO just saying something nice about the President.

You know what I particularly love about Venezuela...what perfectly illustrates the heaven on earth it is today? A couple of years ago I read/heard that the country's zoos had been emptied by citizens in need of protein! I googled it and found many stories saying basically the same thing.

I've been lucky enough to see hippos,giraffes and wildebeest in the wild but I can't say that I've ever tasted any of them!
