Goya Rocks!!

CNN Ain’t Latino. I voting for trump. Freedom speech is ON.

Make your ownGoyaGone

That's the first thing Communists do, to ban freedom of expression.

Goya...

Lol. Trump won because of the free advertising by the media, even though it was all negative. You're going to give Goya so much business they can't keep up hahaha

R7ZZZZ C

Fuck Goya

While reading articles,I heard Goya is the poor mans Knorr.

Great job by the CEO! the crybaby losers need to change their diapers

BuyGoya 🙌

Bullshit. Trump supporters are filling the gap and then some. China News Network.

We all make choices. Goyaway

Do you blame the Latin community for boycotting GoyaFoods ? When the CEO praises a president who calls Mexicans murderers & rapists, his company deserves to be boycotted. It’s a shame as Goya caters to the Latin community. BoycottGoya

Better to take no stance, than risk offending 50% of your customer base. Unless Trump offers national amnesty, then Go Goya. 😏😏😏

goodbye Goya

No more Goya for me

So a Hispanic Initiative to help Hispanic communities gets praised by a man and people are upset? This is another example of why all the moderate democrats I know are walking away from this party for the next election it’s very sad to see the party imploding by radicals

Liberalism is a disease

Now democrats hate immagrants. SHOCKER

Time to stock up on Goya !!!!

I've been buying Goya stuff for my recipes. Will try to incorporate more. love it!!!

🤮

Shame on you~ Why would any American Boycott a product if they have been using for years? Why would politics be apart of this This is what America is all about Freedom of Speech, Religion, Liberty! Why would you want to destroy a person company and career over politics!

This guy has a shed load of cash. Let's hope we don't add to it. Adios Goya!!!!!

All you people that say you will never buy Goya’s products are full of shit!!! Keep letting the left brainwash you. Prob online at Walmart with the products seperated so you can use that shinny blue card at checkout.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion and free to express it! This freedom is what is truly at stake here!

Leftie-lemmings!

If the food is good people should not boycott but that the CEO of Goya (one of the best Spanish Painters) foods praise the Host it’s not correct as it doesn’t sound real . Saxons, Angle and Dutch/Flemish origin people abstain from replying .

I love GOYA products and will not stop using them because of Politics. that is stupid af. you 'woke' people are completely brain dead and seriously need to take a break from politics for a while, you have major TDS.

Trump started his campaign by dragging the Hispanic community out to victimize and humiliate in front of his racist supporters. I'm appalled that a company whose base is the Hispanic community would make such a poor choice.

Why would someone knowingly praise Trump when they know it's political suicide That's insanity!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 CNN sucks

Of course, Hispanics must agree with TheDemocrats You are not allowed to think for yourselves. Now you must switch brands to those owned & controlled by DNC politicians. How dare you have an opinion of your own.

But I thought everyone was and should be able to voice their own opinions and thoughts. If you dislike the president fine, but give this SJW shit a break... you just look stupid now

I’ll miss the black beans, but surely, there are others as good and I will find them.

The pussification continues

I will buy goya foods whenever I see it even if my cabinets are full!

Joe Biden’s private island is just across from Jeffrey Epstein’s. You can’t make this stuff up! He’s made so much money, just being a politician, never working in the private sector!

Goodbye Adobo

Boycott YES, there’s plenty of other choices out there!

Sparking outrage today when it happened yesterday? Literally didn’t hear a peep about this yesterday. You guys have an agenda and so does twitter. You guys are disgusting

Which Hispanic politicians?

LEFTIST SOCIALIST DEM TERRORISM TO STIFLE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND THOUGHT

I already have lots of Goya products, but I’ll be sure to get more!

That's stifling freedom of speech

I’m still trying to decide how I feel about it because you know, feelings are all that matters, not rational thought. My feelings are mixed and I feel torn between 2 options. If only I could not feel a certain way I might be able form a coherent thought. How’s that leftists?

A friendly suggestion please stop referring to us as Latino/Hispanic. WE ARE NATIVE AMERICAN.The more those words are used to discribe my people the more it perpetuates the TRUMPISM.White ppl whether blind or openly racist,fail to understand how h8 speech affects us!

Yeah a twitter hashtag is just an echo chamber and as we seen time and time again not effective. The number will reflect more people buying Goya this quarter not less.

Did they hold their breath until they turned blue, too?

Latino politicians don't speak for me...to JulianCastro AOC n any other 'Latino/Latina politician trying to dictate to me..THERE WILL ALWAYS BE GOYA goyafoods in my cabinet shelves! ALWAYS!!!

And Patriots are going to support them. Haters gonna hate

Fake news

He signed an executive order to establish a Hispanic Property Initiative, to improve Hispanic Americans’ access to educational and economic opportunities. Departments of Education, Commerce, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, Small Business Admin, etc. Boycotters are racist!

Don’t swim against the stream or get swatted. Sad.

HOW DARE HE... 🙄 cancel cancel culture.

Does it? Or are you just saying that to create the appearance of a major boycott?

Boycott!!

How ironic that Democrats say they're the Party of 'unity' and 'inclusion,' as long as you AGREE with their ever-changing political mumbo jumbo. Now they're putting a beat-down on this man because he supports our President? C'mon man. They are the Party of hate and destruction.

It is now 'outrageous' to praise your president. Can you stoop any lower CNN?

VivaGoya VivaLibertad

LatinosforTrump

The left is so crazy and tyrannical about these things. It’s laughable. Black beans and rice tonight!

realDonaldTrump Most DANGEROUS & VENOMOUS PRESIDENT...!

Thes epeople boycotting need serious mental help. What is wrong with them?

Still buying Goya

You would think he’d be smarter than this and know his consumer base well enough to know that he shouldn’t say such stupid shit.

Goodbye Goya.

You can’t stand it when someone is a Trump supporter!! Stop spinning lies! Who care what the Latino politicians felt!! It’s the Latino Americans who should matter and they do not feel like that!!

from now on

Well I’ll be buying Goya from now on! They gained a new customer! isupportgoya

I think I will buy Goya products today!!!!!

Typical liberal behavior... now we will support Goya

The left are a bunch of fascists.

CNN is now digging through this dude's life like schools looking for head lice.

Goya gives millions of dollars worth of food to the homeless and to other charities. Don’t hurt the people who need food and jobs because of your hatred of Trump!

GoodbyeGoya GOYABOYCOTT for supporting the RacistInChief

Why is this such an outrage ? Like it or not he has the right to endorse whoever he wants. Just another example of the leftist Party of hate, untolerants, and disrespect to right wing supporers.

The power of the unelected semi illiterate mob speaks....boycott....for what....supporting the potus ? Grow up kids. Get a life. Get with reality. Get off the drugs.

What was he thinking 🤔

Looks like Goya CEO gobbled the wrong tamale.

Oh my god. He has a different opinion versus the MOB. The humanity. Do you hear yourselves.

The Hispanic community strongly supports President Trump. This is a lot of fuss over nothing

Ill be buying more goya products now

Why are liberals so triggered that someone would dare disagree with them. This is the worst of the human race.
