Goya is based in NY next door to trump!Hmmm!

Dear Robert Unanue, You are a pendejo. Sincerely, A latina who will never buy another Goya product again.

Brave man

Thank you CEO. Let’s support Goya Foods. garbageCNN

Hispanic & Latino American population is the 2nd largest ethnic group in the US, 52 million people. You are untitled to praise this moron but we have the freedom to not buy your products! You just slapped your 52 Million consumer base in the face! BLM friends boycott GoyaFoods

GOYABOYCOTT

People have been discussing 'free speech'... This is the power given to the people by the First Amendment of the Constitution! The definition of the First Amendment...Allows all freedom of speech, but never allows to attack or destroy any words and deeds in the United States!

Don’t buy Goya products. Mr. Unanue has the his opinion as do I.

GoyaFoods BlackLivesOverBlackBeans NoMoreGoya

We are going to buy

Any who boycott this company is a jerk. Goya Foods is a American success story. 2011 President Obama honored and praise this company. 2011 President Obama honored the same person and company.

He shouldn’t have to, pathetic that he can’t be left alone for his opinion

Nope it’s our right to support moral companies

WHY DIDN'T HE PRAISE SOMEONE WORTHY. NOT A COWARD WAR DEFERMENT A 4. 5 TIME LOSER BANKRUPTCY

Why apologize? Regardless of of whether you like or dislike trump. He is the president. If he gets elected again, will cnn continue to whine...you bet. By cnn

No need to apologize sir . . . No need to apologize . . .

Buy buy buy buy 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸buy GOYA

Actually, It’s quite the opposite of suppression of speech. It’s the next level. Action.

GOYABOYCOTT please do not throw away Goya products. If you want to rid your cupboards of these products is protest DONATE them to people who need to feed their families. Feed people - then tell them about the man who enforces the policies that put them in need. VoteBlue2020

fuckgoyafoods

He can praise who ever he wants and we can spend our money where ever we want. You do your thing and we will do our thing. Period!!!

No One Gives A F*€K About Him Apologizing People Will Just Spend Elsewhere GoyaFoods

No, no one is saying you can’t say what he wants to. That’s free speech. Just like consumers have the right to not buy your products if the want.

Too late. Your products are no longer on my shopping list.

Goya CEO is entitle to his opinion and consumers are entitled to their opinions. Consumers just talk with their wallet...they decide where to spend their money. Just as Corporate PACs decide where they spend their money! Republicans want freedom of speech just for the rich!

Unanue is not wrong. He’s entitled to his own opinion and has the right to choose a political side without being persecuted, but then again, we now have the Leftist mob that bullies those in opposition in hopes of winning an election and power. America is LESS FREE bc of the Dems

Just expressing their first amendment rights. Americans need to start using their buying power to hurt supporters. It’s the only power we common folk have been left with.

Illegal immigrants hurt latino and hispanic and Spanish LEGAL immigrants, more than any other group of people! And Legals KNOW THIS!! Boycotting a company because the company said Thank You to the President is really PETTY!! But then the left loonies have always been infantile!

Suppressing speach? You can talk all u want GoyaFoods. This Colombian is going to do the same, with his wallet. NoGoyaFoods NoGoya GOYABOYCOTT GoyaCancelled

Always bought Goya but now I boycott

GoyaFoods is canceled!! BoycottGoya

Still not buying their products. Green Giant sells great stuff. They aren’t the only game in town. Be loyal to this country and it’s people! Not to the evil tyrant who is desicrating our country, it’s people and our laws.

I'll never buy another Goya product.

Both of us have freedoms 👎👎👎😷

See how the left is suddenly boycotting Goya b/c they don’t like his political views? 11% of these twits pay taxes. (35&under) Middle America does not bust our asses working so you dopes can ruin this country. 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Not suppression of speech. Simply: I will buy something else. That’s it.

This is not going to turn out well!🤪😂😢😷

I admire Unanue & love Goya. I have friends who like Trump for good reasons & others who dislike Trump for good reasons. We are still friends. That's called being adults. If we cancel those who fail even one of our 613 PC Commandments, we will be lonely, wrong, and now hungry.

KTLA Great man! I bought a case of product today.

Boycott CNN for being more one sided than FoxNews. CNN needs more Republicans on their shows. Need a tiny bit of balance, zero now!

Deciding not to buy your product because of your politics and who you donate to with the money you make from said product is freedom of expression and freedom to spend my money any way I please. Definitely not buying now. Stop whining.

Unanue is dumb enough to think that just because his brown skin is Puerto Rican and not Mexican that Trump doesn’t think he is dirt. Think again GoyaFoods To him, you are a “bad hombre” just like the rest of us and he will use you until you’re used up.

Conservatives are so sensitive

GoyaFoods no body is trying to suppress Unanue's right to free speech; people are only exercising their freedom to purchase the products of those who are not supporting racism.

God bless this man for his convictions and for not backing down to the mob.

I won't apologize for not purchasing any of his products.

He spoke in support of Obama. Crickets. He spoke in support of Trump. CANCEL HIM!!!

He’s right

Good thing CEOs can be replaced

No, it's freedom of spending punk

You can say what you want. But people don't have to buy from people they don't like. That's freedom too.

Good man right there. Buy their product and support a true Patriot.

He's an idiot. It's not a suppression of speech. He was free to praise Trump...and people are free to respond as they wish. Those who don't like what he said have the right to boycott. Those who agree with him have the right to support his company. Simple as that.

BoycottCancelCulture

Good he has nothing to apologize for!

Suppression of speech Mr Goya is calling out the military & spraying taxpaying AMERICAN citizens to go hug a book with not ONE comforting word to a hurting ppl GoyaFoods GoyaFoodsCEO bunanue

95% of you “Boycotting” Goya don’t even know where the ethic foods aisle is in your supermarket aside from your old El Paso kits on taco Tuesday lmao.

BoycottGoyaFoods GoyaFoods

Why should anyone apologize for their support of the President of United States? Idiotic. Then again CNN and their Democrat agenda might want that. So good to see former CNN employees calling out the network for bias and unprofessional journalism. US has caught on to ur garbage

Trying to suppress opinions is where mind police should be ended. Think of the greatest human you know, and behind them were a lot of wrong opinions. DefenseIntel

Cubans in USA in website WE ARE ALL GOYA!

You've been Dixie Chicked.

Why would I apologize for boycotting Goya Foods?

Buy Goya!

I almost can’t walk I ate so many delicious Goya beans today.

Suppression of speech? What a reach. He can go on speaking whatever.

It’s a suppression of racism and stupidity.

BoycottGoyaFoods BoycottGoya

No, it’s free will u piece a sycophantic garbage.

How dare he not lick the dirty sandal.

Someone should tell this illiterate CEO that if he has the right to speech others have the same right too. What type of a CEO tanks his own Company? I will not buy GoyaFoods products ..but I will buy from their competitors.

No it’s not suppression of speech. He’s got his free speech & we’ve got the right to say no to his products.

No, he can still say whatever he wants. I’m glad he said it out loud. Now I know where to spend my money and it’s not with him.

It’s called freedom of choice, but supression!

On a pantry near you!! FU CNN

Oh fucking please

This is one of the stupidest statements of all time - a boycott is the very expression of free speech

No sir, you are free to say what you like. No one said not to. We are free to respond as we see fit.

Republicans: No regulations. Let the market decide. Also Republicans: Oh nooooes! No boycott! You has to buy all their things anyway. Not fair!

Guess what everyone? If everyone just stopped buying their crap and didn’t announce it, we wouldn’t even have to have this conversation 🤷🏼‍♀️ just do it for fucks sake. Like white republicans use sauzon and adobo on the regular or some shit.

Goya CEO is free to praise Putin, Kim, Xi and Trump as much as he wants. I do not need to buy any Goya products. Does Trump actually eat Mexican food? Foreign food! More likely McD only.

No one is suppressing his speech. He is free to say what he likes.

I buy GOYA ALL THE TIME!!! I love their products❤️❤️❤️

Boycott GoyaFoods

Good lawd. Only your opinion can be voiced?

Best he can do is keep mouth shut as many of his customers condemn trump’s treatment of minorities&immigrants.He claimed his grand parents came here for better lives but he prays trump who separated kids from parents.Trash all GoyaFoods. jacobsoboroff maddow JulianCastro AP

Not suppressing his free speech, just buying better products.

He can say what he wants... he just has to know that if what he says offends the people he sells his product to, there’s the chance his company might suffer freespeech

He can speak. We can use our wallets to let him know how we feel about it.

Thanks to asses like you. I’m all on board the BUYCOTT GOYA train

It’s called voting with your feet. We walk away from traitors

Time to buy some Goya!

Let him don’t apologize because Donald Trump is the only that buys his products not the public. He will realize in few days who really makes him a CEO.

But... isn't a boycott a form of free speech too? Or is free speech only bad when maga ppl get hurt?

He just got himself a lifetime customer!!!

No shit. HE SAID AND DID THE RIGHT THING!

What’s the Mexican version in an Uncle Tom 🤔

yashar He can say anything he wants. But the consequences are something he gets to deal with.

Thanks to the GoyaFoods ceo for speaking the truth and not kneeling to those that can’t handle opinions other than their own.

Kids in cages. BoycottGoya

No need to apologize. Here’s something for which I won’t apologize: CNNsucks

CNN trying to make everyone a scapegoat that they don’t agree with they have not learned that over the last 4 years their market share has gone down the drain GOYA foods has had the best products to the Poor people of this country for over 100 years

So the recipient of excessive Taxpayers dollars from corrupt GOP with the excuse of a medical global emergency killing hundreds & thousands of people who have received No help from the Gov, sad because people refuse to give him any more of their money.

The boycott isn’t suppression of speech. You are free to say what you like. But you are not free from the consequences of your speech. I hope Trump is willing to buy your product. We aren’t.

goyafoods GOYABOYCOTT there is a lot of options out there. So no more goyafoods GoyaGottaGo

TrumpIsARacist GOYABOYCOTT

Be honest most of you have never heard of Goya foods. Your going to refuse to purchase from someone you have never purchased anything from. Powerful !

Goya will thrive due to this.

One would think the goyafoods CEO would know better. Adding goyafoods to the list of brands I will NOT be purchasing. BoycottGoya BoycottGoyaFoods.

BoycottGoya

GoyaFoods are get stuff! Hispanics against them seem to forget or are ignorant of - realDonaldTrump provided Hispanics the highest employment in HISTORY! Highest employment for women in over 70 years! They are being used as puppets by TheDemocrats

No I think it’s called the right to choose.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

good for him don’t cave to the liberal unhinged mob buygoya

It’s only suppression if you don’t agree with them

CNN sucks!

He can go to hell, nothing EVER will make me or my family buy Goya Foods again. him and every asshole like him should know that resisters are a strong power house now, they can hurt stupid companies.

It not suppression of speech. You are obviously free to speak. It’s called CONSEQUENCE of speech.

Trump is the enemy and friends of my enemy are my enemies BoycottGoyaFoods

Sounds great. It is a free country. And we are free to buy goods from anti-racists

Goya is a reputable brand. Supporting POTUS will bring in more loyal customers.

Kings of FakeNewsMedia

What part of “freedom of speech/expression” doesn’t the CEO of Goya get? I’m guessing the part he doesn’t like...

Yes boycott super hard lefties. Your boycott Chick-fil-A model is going to make this guy extremely wealthy. All the while the only people you're hurting are in Spain, Mexico, Caribbean, Central & South America. Lefties really are some of the most ignorant people on the planet.

I will also stop buying Goya products. Hear that board of directors Until you remove this CEO, you will not receive my whopping $7.38 annual spend. But seriously, people who eat more canned beans than I do: BoycottGoya

BuyGoya

Not a suppression of speech but consumers making their speech heard through their buying power. You don’t have to apologize and they don’t have to buy your products. Free country after all.

He's trying to hinder my free speech to say that he is a bigot and that I won't buy his products.

Everyone is allowed to speak and be free to follow what they believe. That is what our country allows us vs other countries.

Good for him!!

“Suppression of speech”? Whatever. Done with Goya. I do not support anyone who turns a blind eye to a racist pig.

How can we get rid of “fox news” or at least take news off. And I tried hard to not capitalize it and had to put in quotes. That’s how pervasive it is

It’s not suppression he spoke his mind now consumers speak theirs by not buying his products just the way the system was designed

TeamGoya. I can’t wait to buy all sorts of GoyaFoods products from now on!

Hey, FINALLY a CEO who won't get down on his knees & grovel in the dirt to the low IQ Marxist Minions!! APPLAUSE!!! BuyGoyaFoods

Sounds like Trump suppressed his speech and inserted his own voice

GoyaFoods

So sad...I’ll miss Goya products, but after knowing about the CEO’s statements, they would give me a stomach ache anyway.

I choose to not give my money to companies that support trying to destroy America. This is called capitalism.

I wonder how much money he got as a COVID-19 bailout? 🤔

GOYA IS GOOD! CNN IS BAD.

Nah dude, it’s your free speech that got you here.

No, no, not suppression. Democracy. You are free to say what you said. We are free to buy what we want to buy. And from now on, it will not be Goya products.

I just bought some Goya. How about you? BuyGoya

Here's how it works Bob...you can say whatever you want & I can buy whatever I want...good chat...now go out there & own us libs😎

You'd know all about it, wouldn't ya?

And WE have the FREEDOM to NOT buy Goya products. Works both ways.

The only time Twitter libs like capitalism 😂

Robertito lameculo

Call me suppressed b****

GO GOYA

Good for the CEO of GoyaFoods !!!! He doesn't owe anyone an apology!

You spoke with your fawning mouth.. They speak with their feet... Going somewhere else!

Good for him. Dems and Libs are so one-sided...

Soo he says something and I do something on free will and I'm suppressing his free speech? Sorry dude it doesn't work that way I have free speech too. Don't let the door hit ya on the way out, asshole.

And Mr. Unanue should not have to apologize for his comments. I for one will be buying GoyaFoods for sure now!

Yet again, we need 8th grade civics. Unless the government comes for you...your free speech is fine. He's just a jackass and we are free to respond.

Goya will have a great 3rd quarter, thanks to Leftist virtue signaling. But we really don't need any more reminders about who the true Fascists are.

Goya supports economic and educational opportunities in many impoverished Hispanic communities. Boycotting Goya, after CEO Unanue praised Trump, will likely backfire, and generate even more support in both Hispanic and Anglo communities. GoyasTheWay

He is absolutely correct!! The left and bad news outlets like CNN promote cancel culture ! The silent majority have had it!! Start speaking truth

Raise your hand if you’re going out of your way to buy Goya products. 🙋🏻‍♂️

Many of us small business folks relate to Goya, it's the truth- we have enjoyed a better business environment and hired a bunch of people due to Trump admin. Goya helps us with out food banks in FL, bless them.

I could deal with different of opinion and politics. It’s the hyperbole praise when there is so much evidence to the contrary that makes me sick and want to boycott.

Just as he has the right to say what he pleases, consumers have the right to boycott his business because of what he said.

He can say what he wants I can buy what I want

...call it what you will there, Ace, stopped buying your stuff because we can....and don't support your views.

BuyGoya 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 maga

I have the freedom to not eat your beans. DealWithIt

BuyGoyaProducts !!!!!!

No more goya

The only thing Trump did is enforce the laws passed by Congress. If you got a problem then contact your representatives. Presidents don’t or shouldn’t get to pick and chose with laws to enforce

I’ll be buying Goya products! Think I will get some now!

Buy Goya, “make your meals great again.”

NeNeresister Not suppression of speech pal. More like suppression of insanity. You had to be mentally challenged to think that you wouldn’t upset blues. How do people like this get top jobs. Unbelievable. Resist

bunanue is free to support trump. I am free to decide not to purchase his products. Freedom of Speech does not guarantee you the right to say whatever you like free of all consequences...only the right to express yourself free of government persecution. ReadTheConstitution

Good for him!🎉 Free speech is dying in the United States but it hasn't been eradicated all together yet!

My prepper’s stash. Because we can’t live without! 🤣🤣🤣 GoyaIsCovered 🤣🤣

DEFUND CNN

Suppression of sales follows his speech.

Ohhhh he will have epic sales numbres!! The silent mayority will step in

Maybe he forgot how Trump has disparaged Hispanics. I remember him throwing rolls of paper towels to Hurricane Maria victims. He's called Mexicans horrible names. Maybe he needs to take a look. There is always a method to Trump's madness.

Money is speech. So is the lack of it.

This is how the free market system works. If you had admitted to peeing in the tamales, the same thing would happen.

Good for him! Don’t be bullied by the whining harassers. That’s all they’ve done for 4 years is wake up everyday and harass this great President. They accomplished NOTHING except getting him re-elected this Nov. can’t wait to see them crying.

Of course nobody is suppressing the Goya CEO’s speech. But of course that speech has consequences, which he obviously didn’t think of before praising the very stable idiot.

He's right! We're not all little sheep following Socialist rules, ppl can still vote/support who they want...at least..so far..🙄

Bish, the free market responding to your crap comments is not suppression of speech. It's our speech.

The idiot is supposed to be making money by increasing sales but he did the exact opposite.

It’s called Speaking with Our Dollars🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

BuyGoya Fire AOC

Good to finally see a CEO giving the 🖕 to cancel culture

And I don't even like beans

What a loon. Consequences do not equal suppression. He *chose* to get involved, to let his customers know the kind of person he is and what he promotes, just like Hobby Lobby, Papa John's, and Chick Fil A. Most CEO's are smart enough to stay clear of politics. Good luck Goya

So, only he gets to express his opinion?

Finally, a CEO with a spine stands up to the useful(less) idiot class. Switching exclusively to Goya black beans because black beans matter.

Businesses have no Constitutional rights for one. More importantly Unanue has the right to say whatever he wants, and his customers have the right to exercise their first amendment rights to not shop there anymore. That’s how it works.

It's walking with my $$ when I don't like how you spend your profits. It's called educated consumer choice!

Geez. That comment is ridiculous and so indicative of a trump supporter. Sounds just like him. BoycottGoya

Afraid not GoyaFoods. You can say whatever you like. We can elect to purchase whatever products we like. No one is trying to “suppress” your free speech. And maybe talk to your line workers about how great they think Trump is.

Goya. It has to be boycotted.

Good for you, Robert! I will be happy to support GoyaFoods!

You can say what you want and people can buy what they want where they want! What's the problem.

Since when did a boycott suppress his speech? He can step off.

Nah...it's called consequences. Free Speech has them, sometimes.

Supporting a Mexican business is racist too now, I guess.

Everything realDonaldTrump touches turns to 💩. The UK has banned us for his anemic COVID__19 response. winning? Covid19UK FourMoreMonths

This CEO as all other CEOs are greedy bastards and that's why they will not back down. The tax cuts for the rich that they got twice in one year and the ppp's. Are good reason for him to lick Donald Trump's ass.

Suppression of speech? You are more than welcome to say what you want but that does not mean there will not be consequences! BoycottGoya

Boycotts are simply the way for the people to bring democracy to corporations. Vote with your wallets, folks. That's the only language these companies understand.

L O L I mean ... what other reaction *should^ there be to this nonsense?

It’s the consequences of free speech. Big difference

No suppression of speech at all. We are consumers. We can choose where our money goes. GoyaFoods BoycottGoyaFoods

This man has my family's support!!! BuyGoya

Nobody is suppressing his speech. He is free to say anything he wants. And live with the consequences.

He also went to the White House when Obama invited him. Relax people! So free speech only works if they agree with the Democrats and do things their way I’m a Dem and completely disappointed in the reaction of AOC and others. Goya has helped so many!

BuyGoyaFoods

Makes me respect this man so much more He has done what the biggest companies ceo have caved in for

I will research and make a point of buying their products

I don’t buy Goya products anyway & I like to see what fast food or other companies support Trump, why would I support the trump campaign? It’s important to know where our money is going. Those who buy Goya: There’s other companies besides Goya that make all the same products.

I will now start to buy goya foods. Love that company.

There is freedom of speech. However, there is not “freedom” of consequences when you are a complete jackass! Sorry, not sorry!

I think it’s called Free Market Capitalism. Have human trash dump TuckerCarlson explain it to ya

I think I bought their product once, but in the future I'm going to buy more! If their CEO is bold enough to NOT back down from the left I am definitely a customer!!! GoyaFoods

WeLoveGoyaFoods

No, it’s suppression of black beans.

Oh so he just hates money

Hello Goya Goodbye China made

He's absolutely correct! SupportGoya

The woke mob only cares about hate. Hating Trump and anyone who disagrees with their approved thought. Good to see a CEO flip leftist pigs the finger. 🖕🖕🖕

Awesome! Never bow to the mob!

No wonder he gets on so well with DisinfectantDon. BoycottGoya

If he thinks a boycott is suppression of speech than no wonder he's wacko enough to support Trump.

GOOD!! Stop pandering to the intolerant cancel culture!! I support this patriot!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Those tax cuts he got must have been huge...

God bless this man! He is an American that is proud of this country! I will definitely be buying more Goya products!

Good. It’s time people stop apologizing. It never helps with the social media CancelCulture mob.

Good for him! cancelcancelculture

I going to support his company.

It’s not suppression of speech. You got to speak and people have the right not to buy the products. Simple!!

Boycotts work to suppress injustice. No more Goya Beans!

GoyaFoods Boycotting your products is not a suppression of your CEO's speech. But words have consequences. Trump is no blessing to this country and if your CEO wants to believe that then my money goes else where since my money is free speech too.

I believe that’s what Republicans call the free market.

Good for him.

No one is telling him to keep his mouth shut. Free speech works both ways. If I don't like what you say (your right to say it), I can choose not to do business with you (my right of free expression). It's a win-win. Right GoyaFoods ?

I'm not sure the CEO of Goya understands how capitalism works.

No suppression! You say things and there are consequences. You can say whatever you want but if you’re praising that monster in chief people may just biycott you company

Fuck that guy...

Outstanding!

Everyone buy GOYA!

It seems GoyaFoods is confused about free speech, in the way that terrible ppl often are. It doesn't guarantee freedom from consequences, just from govt suppression (in most cases). Unanue spoke. Now the people are speaking back. With their wallets. Think of it as a dialogue.

Suppression of garbanzo beans.

That's a NO it's called consequences to your free speech BoycottGoya

trump2020yeaah He shouldn’t

Free to speak but words have consequences.

Stand strong! REAL Americans will support your company!

👏🏼

Hey pal, the first amendment doesn't say that you won't have to deal with the consequences of the things you said. It's your right to say you support Trump, my right to not buy your stuff. Quit being such a baby.

When I see dog shit sitting in the grass why does it remind me of CNN NEWS lol

He is full cult, and must learn the hard way. Okay.

White liberals pretending like they know how to season food! Isn't Goya to spicy for you?

Free speech does not mean free from accountability. Say whatever you want and we’ll do whatever we want in response to it. Two-way street. If the courts got involved saying that people should boycott Goya then it would most certainly be an assault on your consitutional rights.

I never bought his products to begin.

Say no to Goya!!!

He knows Hispanics love trump that’s why he’s not afraid

Good for him! Cry baby lefties. Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh.

Good for him.

Suppression of speach!! Goya goyafoods

BuyGoyaProducts BuyGoyaProducts buygoya

Actually, it is the summit of free speech: I am expressing my right to free speech and let my money support what I believe: that you have the right to say that you support T, and we have the clear right to disagree & show it with our feet/dollars, asking others to do the same

Hell noooooo It's called FREE SPEECH He's free to Boast Trump and we're FREE To Boycott GOYA

Nobody who objects to boycotts this way is a capitalist. The market received new information it deemed pertinent and it responded. This is the invisible hand at work, regulating the market. It works relatively well when there's transparency in the market.

Or...is the boycott an expression OF freedom of speech?

Love Goya products 👨‍🍳

That went from laissez-faire to life's-not-fair real quick

Well done sir! Don’t give in to the mob... I’ve got plenty of Goya products in my kitchen cabinets, and there will be more soon.

Bravo for him buy GoyaFoods products patriots Americans America usa conservatives republicans trump2020 trump TrumpLandslide2020

It is cancel culture at its worst.

He’s right.

BoycottGoyaFoods

It is now red neck foods

It’s not suppression of speech, this guy is allowed to praise and support whoever he wants. Remember when MJ said “Republicans buy sneakers too” If a business supports a political candidate they should expect backlash from the other side

It's not called 'suppression of speech', it's called disagreement and expression of free will. We don't agree with you, so we're gonna stop buying your stuff.

I love GoyaFoods Ive always purchased their beans and I will continue to buy their food products. I trust them, they taste great, and I will support them more because of their ceo

Freedom of speech does mean freedom from consequence. It’s a free market after all, people can buy or not buy whatever they choose.

Lol this is the exact opposite of free speech my man. You have the freedom to praise trump, and we have the freedom to not buy your products.

His business is about to get a large increase in sales.

Also Pillow Guy.

Why does Goya suppress my speech by not giving me money?

I’m not buying his beans. There are lots of other choices. Praise who you want. I’ll buy what I want. See how that works?

No, not suppression, just disgust

He will be apologizing to the board memebers when they ask for his resignation in a few months

Woke tyrants again trying to silence everyone who is not obedient to the party line.

he doesn’t have to apologize, he is not the only seller of rice and beans, let’s see if the Trumpers buying BoycottGoya are more than us, la raza, not buying them

We not live in cuba or Venezuela we live in USA the land of freedom

A boycott is a form of speech...eat shit GoyaFoods

I’m a chef and I don’t use their products because they have msg in it. Now I hope the world stops using it.

He’ll apologize soon enough. It all comes down to profits.

Boycott!

Freedom of speech does not equal freedom of consequence

Trump’s Goy Toy !

Message to you also.

Nobody asked him to 'suppress' anything. His Trump bromance is on him.....we have the freedom to not buy his little spices. It's all fair. You like racist people with terroristic behaviors, we don't. He's childish. We don't like him or his little friend.

He has every right to support and praise the president, and the people have every right to boycott his products. This is a free society at work.

All you leftist douchbags will never stop using your shiny blue EBT CARD and waste everyone’s time online at the grocery store while you separate your Goya products from your pajama pants and parking your Mercedes in the handicap spot with all your kids holding $1200 iPhones

How is the call of a boycot of a minority run company that caters primarily to minorities, not racist?

Why should he apologize? For supporting our President? This cancel culture is a not so thinly disguised arm of facism. He’s right when he says it’s suppression of speech. Screw these whiney little punks who need to get a life. I’m buying Goya from now on.

celtlad84 When is cnn going to apologize for killing THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS!!

Free choice buddy

It is called voting with your dollars. I won’t be buying anymore Goya.

I've used GoyaFoods products for years! The best!

Why should he apologize for supporting Trump? cancelculture marxist ways are sending us on a fast track to communism.

Not suppression. It's called power of the pocketbook.

So sick of this cancel culture. Whatever happened to live and let live? No, liberals cannot tolerate anyone having a different opinion. They must be destroyed.

Democrat fascism is what it is.

Well said bunanue GoyaFoods Thank you for fighting back against the cancel culture while so many CEOs cave to the mob. Time to buy more GoyaFoods BuyGoya BuyGoyaFoods BuyGoyaProducts CancelTheCancelCulture

I’m sure he’s one of those “let the free market decide” mouth breathers.

Bye GOYA FOODS....

Need more patriots, like Mr Unanue, to speak up! Glad he won’t back down from the fascist lefturds. Will gladly buy more of their items beyond the 3 products our family already consume.

And will be just as much 2 blame as the DNC their hating voters 4 losing the Nov 3rd election. Trying 2 get literally thousands of Hispanics fired and their lives ruined over your hateful evil cancel culture WILL NOT WIN YOU THE ELECTION. Goya donates millions lbs of food.

These people are dumb. As a former social studies teacher, every time these people say this stuff I take as a personal failing. How can they know so little, go so far and speak with such lack of intelligence? Also, freedom of expression is protection against government tyranny.

Good for him! Now people all over the world are going bright out to buy his brand!

Not suppression, repercussion of.

Why should he? Tons of us patriots support Trump!

You can say whatever you want. You must own the consequences. That’s free speech.

He's absolutely right. And everyone in the Left going after him and his company are blatant racist and hypocrites.

GoyaCEOcanKissMyAss

A butt kisser?

He is right.

lol American conservatism is one hell of a drug.

yashar The people who boycott have just as much right to free speech as you did sucking up to the worst president ever.

Diversity in opinion? Can't have that in 2020.

At the store with a belt full of Goya products right now!!! BuyGoya

Lmao at these MAGA folks acting like they use Goya. 🤣🤣🎧🎧.

Facts. Shut those liberals up.

It is not suppression of speech. It is my decision not to give my money to someone supporting a racist and using his position to try to garner more support of the racist. Goyaway GOYABOYCOTT TrumpIsARacist

MsActiviss F’k that guy !!!!!

BuyGoya

A good life’s lesson is to learn to give credit where credit is due, and it’s especially powerful when someone might have a different point of view from you. Good for him.

Good for him. Suck it CNN.

My family will never buy the foods again. BoycottGoyaFoods

I'm just gonna suppress my purchases of Goya from now on. Clown.

It’s not suppression of speech ... it’s suppression of profit ...

It’s called consumer choice, asshole. Guess what choice this consumer has made.

Boycotting is exercising a persons right to choose!

'Seth doesn't like my dipshit brand, he's cancelling me, he should be forced to buy and like my fuckin' beans or frozen factory-extruded empanadas or whatever' -- the crying CEO

It’s free speech unit you have to deal with the consequences of your actions.

I’ve learned that my voice is where I put my dollar!!

Oh my word you guys are like little children - boycott - cancel culture etc. - I cannot believe how toxic this all is

A boycott of his company because of things he says would be an expression of our free speech. Suppression of free speech would be if the government forbid him from talking or us from boycotting.

What is there to apologize for? Doesn’t every individual have a right to support who they want without facing backlash? Please don’t support fascism CNN

This all the we will be buying now.

Goya Oboya your sales will soon be in the toilet!

The “Tolerant” left are disgusting hatful people.

has he considered writing an open letter?

He doesn’t have to apologize. End.

Now progressives want to boycott goya because a Hispanic owned company praises a white man progressives don’t like. That is what I call “white privilege”. FYI, I just stocked up on goya products, WEPA MOTHER FUCKER 🥑

Good for him! Don’t worry, Mr. Unanue, we got you! We’ll make sure to stock up on your products.

And he was right! I support Goya Foods 100%!

He is absolutely right! I am going to start to buy more Goya Products!

Why should he? And it is!

Por que a Apple não habilita o uso da função ECG no Applewatch no Brasil? A Anvisa já autorizou. Isso pode salvar vidas.

He's absolutely free to speak his mind, and we're absolutely free to disagree BoycottGoyaFoods as a company that obvious couldn't care less about its customers. Or perhaps Mr. Unanue thinks it's OK to call Latinos 'rapists, criminals and drug dealers' or hold children in cages?

Good for him. Nothing to apologize for. Buy Goya.

Your business and employees come 1st. Your customer is 1st You are entitled to your beliefs. However you should not voice them and jeopardise your company. Nor aleniate your consumers. 😪🇺🇸

Love it! Need more people to stand up to the leftist bullies. Sick and tired of apologists!

No apologies need it! I am black latina and I support him! Stop the hate

Excelent!

GoyaFoods just doesn't get it. He has the freedom to say whatever he wants to & I & my large Hispanic family have the right to vote with our wallets for a different brand. We refuse to do business with anyone that supports the RacistInChief. grabyourwallet BoycottGoyaFoods

The GOYA CEO is right.

Fascinating...that during a time pandemic and massive job loss, the cancel culture logically wishes to punish a food company and its workers with a boycott....bc someone has an opinion shared by a large % of the US population.🤔🤔

Goya all the way!!

I don't have a problem with your words, Mr.Unanue. I have a problem with your values. I value CEO's that don't praise and support paper towel throwing Presidents as a proxy for disaster relief. I hope you have a big family because you're going to have a lot of left-overs.

No one is asking him to and no one cares if he does or not on his own terms. Consumers (myself included) decided not to support a company that he runs, that's all. Robert Unanue isn't special. Goya

Fantastic! Great for Goya!

I don't know what they sell, but I'm going to try to buy some of their products.

I'm buying extra Goya.

lets step up the BoycottGoyaFoods

Buy goya

As JoeBiden would say, “You ain’t Hispanic.”

BuyGoya It’s about time someone stood up to today’s ridiculous cancel culture!!

It’s actually the complete opposite of speech suppression. Speaking with your wallet is one of the most effective ways to communicate your beliefs.

BuyGoya MAGA2020

Money is speech, boycotting is the very definition of a first amendment right 😂. Fucking clowns

It's amazing to me how many people do not understand what free speech means. I had someone say to me the other day 'What's the point in the right to free speech if there's no right to be heard?' and I just started laughing! It's ludicrous.

More importantly its bigotry against Hispanics by white liberals who expect us to be their mascots.

I never purchased his brand so I don't have to boycott something I never like anyway. His food taste bad to me

He can say whatever he wants. Nobody is telling him what to say. But I can say whatever I want, too, and I'm saying 'I'm done with GoyaFoods'. If Mr. CEO doesn't like it, too fucking bad. Actions have consequences.

GoyaFoods is 💯% right. I support Goya Foods.

Goya ceo is 100 percent correct

Calling for a boycott because the company won't join the mob of bigotry, intolerance, and hate. I think Goya will do just fine

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BuyGoya

Goya rocks!

Companies are not people and don’t have rights 😬 but people have the right to spend their money where they want. Open your mouth, face the consequences. That’s how it is for literally every other situation.

Lol suppression of speech how exactly? You said what you said and people are reacting to it 🤷‍♂️

Good for him. Never buy goyafoods before. Will now!

For every person boycotting, others who agree will start buying. Do you really think people in the Hispanic community are going to stop buying Goya. Please! There business is not going to be affected. Just liberals ranting about something else pointless.

Not suppression of free speech, just the consequences of free speech. Consumers and voters have choices. His pandering will cost him/his company.

I never bought any Goya products and now I never will.

Good. He’s right.

Freedom of choice

It just continues to boggle my mind that these 'successful' leaders don't understand free speech.

💯

So now you have to apologize for free speech 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It’s free market capitalism! I used to eat goya plantains on my burgers. Anyone got a plantain recipe?

Never apologize to the leftist clown mob.

Wouldn’t a boycott be freedom of speech?

Supporting cofeve is one thing Praising and feeling 'blessed' are delusional

Why apologize? Glad he didn’t cower to the intolerant left

Free speech and free to spend my money on products whose company mission I agree with

Unanue is a HERO. Misfit morons who want to boycott every business whose CEO is a Republican have no clue what made America great. If you won’t tolerate diversity and a multitude of opinions, America is not for you.

YESSSSSSS on all accounts! GOYAGIVES

BoycottGoya Hmm seems like too many arses with too much time on their hands. This is why we have CancelCulture, people are not hunting their food or fighting off extinction. Bring on the plague.

It's almost as if people don't have to spend their money where they don't want to, for whatever reason they choose. What does Mr Trump Beans have to say about the Trump supporters boycotting Nike or Kuerig?

I’m buying more Goya products now.

How stupid is he? 'suppression of speech' doesn't include canned goods

When you speak, it’s okay, when we do - it’s suppression? Honey no. But why are you worried boo, Trump will take care of you when you are poor, that’s what he’s known for. 😘😘 Goyaway BoycottGoya TrumpIsLosing

Jessica37940913 How is it suppression of speech? He said it right? He even doubled down on it. I like Bush beans just fine! Even more now! BoycottGoya

Reminds me to put some GoyaFoods in my cart at the supermarket today. Maybe get some of their hominy and make pozole!

Good! CancelCulture is evil... CNN leads CancelCulture

He is correct!

Favor a boycott becasue exteme righ wing views like this guy's do not match with my moderate views.

He is a CEO of the company, he was there as a GoYA representative, he should be thoughtful of wht to speak. He cant make a political statement. He didn't go there for a personal visit

It’s not suppression of speech. I choose where to spend my money. I choose not to support trump sycophants.

Good. Don't back down GoyaFoods It's time someone of your stature stood up to the bullies!!

I highly doubt that this giant Hispanic CPG concern is worried about the Secondary market of politically charged Gringo zealots Continuing to not buy their products on the regular. As they voice their opinions on devices powered by slave/child labor cobalt. Way to make change..

Somehow Mr. Unanue is equating his selling of his merchandise (capitalism) to speech and a boycott of buying his food (freedom of choice) as suppressing his capitalism...I mean his speech.

Shouldn't we boycott the word boycott? It should be renamed peoplecott.

GotMyGOYA

It's our dream!!! dv2020 dv2020winners wedeserveachance JoeByeDon

We heard the giant sucking up sound and it will reverberate in our brains as we shop for food. GoyaFoods will not be on my shopping list EVER. тяυмρ hates people of color—especially Hispanic folks. Remember the escalator drivel on rapists and criminals? I do, & everything since

Talk all you want, it’s your right. It is my right not to buy your products.

still supporting racist ideologies

Good. He shouldn’t apologize. The biggest problem our country is facing is demonizing those who have a different political opinion, & CNN leads that charge daily. ISupportGoyaFoods

Don't forget to support GoyaFoods SupportGoya BuyGoya MAGA2020

So a why is it wrong when a successful Hispanic business owner praises President? Or why he should even apologize? Okay sheep try to educate me, I'm ready to shut your mouth.

Freedom of speech is all the Latinos boycotting your substandard products.

Money talks, Bean dude

I am going to buy more and more goya.

Excellent. I’m running out to buy Goya foods right now.

These guys who think there are no consequences from private actions in response to stupid statements. I can't even.

Amen! I bet GOYA foods fly off the shelves!

Robert, you have freedom of speech & we have the right to not buy products from people who say stupid things. Get it? People are getting sick & dying & Trump is lying. Putin is paying to kill our military & Trump is lying. That's not leadership it's lying. TrumpLiedPeopleDied

Good. He doubled down. So will we. Fk Goya products!

I love their peas!

No one suppressed his speech. He said what he said. Now consumers are speaking. It sounds like he doesn’t like what they’re saying.

When the left turns on yet another successful company WHO LITERALLY FEEDS THE POOR because their president agrees with the Presidents' policies. It's so divisive - all they do is turn everything into a fight. Ultra intolerant. . supportgoya buygoya

Boycott GOYA. Drive them out of business

He doesn’t understand much...just like his good friend😝😝😝

Is GOYA selling babies in a can with desert sauce now? Cause that is how it sounds in the latino community.

Some would call it the free market, or capitalism...

Not suppression of speech. You can say what you want and consumers can buy what they want for whatever reason that may be

Free speech is under attack.

Goya has the best seasoning. I buy it all the time. And I will continue to buy their products! We support you! 🇺🇸

I’m glad to see a big company such as Goya not letting the lefty bigots tell them what should their political side be. Just who in the hell do they think they are? Moral police? Many of have even more respect for his brand and I will continue to buy Goya products.

goyafoods sales are going to be the best they've ever been and for good reason. CancelTheCancelCulture

Will result in increased sales. cnn your reign of disinfo terror is almost over. Enjoy your propogandizing while you still can.

For the love of God, no one is suppressing your right to speak. But if folks don't like your speech, they may not buy your products - which they are totally free to do. How can a CEO not understand what the First Amendment means?

About to fill my pantry with GoyaFoods !!!😜

BuyGoya

People 'boycotting' goya claiming it's their freedom ... It's an excuse to further flame the the fire of racism. They combat racism with more racism. This crybaby crap is ridiculous.

So should we boycott for their not praising President Trump. Spark boycott. Media is the virus

He's right. I don't even know what Goya is but I'm buying some.

It’s not suppression of speech if you’ve already spoken. You sided with Trump and those of us that are against realDonaldTrump are now against your company, because you stand with evil. BoycottGoyaFoods BoycottGoya

Good for him. Stand up to the toxic culture of the radical left.

Another one who doesn't understand how freedom of speech works. It doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

I'm done with Goya.
