on Friday, another indication of the tight rope major U.S. companies must walk in the Trump era.... [+]KEY FACTS
"We're all truly blessed...to have a leader like President Trump," Robert Unanue, CEO of Goya Foods said: The hashtags #BoycottGoya, #GoyaFoods, and #goyaway trended on Twitter after the event, with multiple Democratic politiciansTrump signed an executive order expanding his “"Hispanic Prosperity Initiative," an initiative that directs taxpayer support for charter and private schools and boosts tax benefits for tax “Opportunity Zones.”

I'm buying more Goya!
Good idea Dems, cut of the Hispanic vote lol.
Hispanic people have been in our country for many decades now and for the past 3 years Trump did not recognize them till yesterday bcos the election is coming up. What a shame...
Goad damnit. Aren't Goya products beans? I grew up on Heinz beans. Is Heinz British, German or Swiss? If they're British, then I must stop eating colonial beans. If they're Swiss, it's ok. If they're German, then they're Nazi beans.
Lived in Latin America most of my life. Goya in USA was a tie to those great days. Sorry, but no longer. Seems they don’t understand their customer base very well.
Dejalos comer frijoles...
This just in: CEO of Goya is an idiot regardless of the politics of it
I’ll be looking for Goya products when I shop.
Makes me want to buy it. Works both ways
Oh look, the party that “protects the interests of minorities” is trying to bury a Spanish-American family known for their charity work because they disagree with them.
This is called bullying. Why doesnt he have liberty, freedom to praise President Trump?
The Goya plant In Puerto Rico does not pay well..
Prime example of the utter stupidity having their panties in a bunch over bs. Like seriously get bent out of shape & want boycotts over a product because someone doesn't like what a CEO or employee says about someone or something. Grow up, we dont always agree 100% of the time
wasnt he also a part of Michelle OBAMA 's health food initiative? Didn't see calls to boycott then. What could possibly be the difference. DoubleStandards trump
I tossed Goya rice, black beans, and sauces into the trash. As a Mexican/ American, I do not support any company who supports a well documented and openly racist administration and it's leader. To the CEO of Goya... Chinga tu pinche madre, you kiss ass.
Latinos are conservative people who will one day vote that way. Things like this and boycotting Hispanic Trump supporting restaurants will likely speed that along. I’m all for it. That demographic is the future of the party.
I can assure you that 99% of us Latinos will still buy Goya products. We don't boycott things because of what the CEO of a company says about a political figure. Anyways, you dumbasses will only be hurting bodega owners and other small businesses that carry sell GOYA.
GoyaFoods (GoyaFoods) is great! Hollywood Elites, Big Tech, Mainstream Media, and today's US Democratic Party (TheDemocrats incl. JoeBiden) all stand for such revolting cruelty, evil, and malevolence! Honest Media (like BreitbartNews and OANN) must always take note of this!
Want money tips and facts in your twitter feed?
If a company decides to make a political stance then it is fair to judge (and boycott) their products based on that stance.
.POTUS Trump signs the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative executive order which aims to “improve access by Hispanic Americans to educational and economic opportunities” and the woke mob calls for GOYABOYCOTT. Hispanics should unite and boycott the racist, leftist, woke mob instead.
Yet another proof that There’s no cure for stupid...
He’s gonna learn the hard way!! His PR team are packing up their office belongings right about👇🏾Now!!
Goya foods are the best!
Dumb AF
I will buy more Goya products.
Bunch of snowflakes. So sensitive. This is what happens when parents don't spank their kids and teach them common sense.
Is the quality of food now political too?
