GOYA CEO Won’t Apologize for Trump Praise After Liberal Meltdown

President Trump recently hosted a White House event with the CEO of Goya Foods, Robert Unanue, who surprisingly heaped a load of praise on to President Trump. He reportedly said that he believed the United States was blessed to have a leader like President Trump, and immediately liberals around the nation melted down in a tizzy.

AOC tweeted out: Oh look, it’s the sound of me Googling “how to make your own Adobo” in reference to the liberal boycott of Goya that apparently seems to be taking root on social media.

Many Trump supporters though, plan to buy more Goya products to counteract the boycott so there may not be much of an effect either way. See Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ tweet below:

Judge Jeanine had a lot to say about the situation, reported that the CEO of Goya foods is refusing to apologize for heaping praise on President Trump, despite any boycott. “I’m not apologizing,” Unanue said. Perhaps some American Republicans could learn a lot from the Goya CEO’s backbone. Greg Gutfeld also made a notable point in the same video, “people don’t punch you if you can punch back”.

Fox News reported:

Trump hosted Hispanic leaders at the White House on Thursday and signed an executive order on the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative to use more taxpayer support for private and charter schools and “improve access by Hispanic Americans to education and economic opportunities.”

Critics like Rep. Alexandria-Ocasio Cortez, D-N.Y., former Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro of Texas and a number of celebrities took aim at the company on social media with hashtags like #BoycottGoya and #GOYAWAY. Many urged people who use Goya products to start buying similar foods and condiments produced by the company’s competitors…

…Unanue called the pushback against him visiting the White House “suppression of speech.” Unanue said that he was previously invited to the White House for an event hosted by the Obama administration for Hispanic Heritage Month.

“So, you’re allowed to talk good or to praise one president, but you’re not allowed to aid in economic and educational prosperity? And you make a positive comment and all of a sudden, it is not acceptable,” Unanue said.

Unanue said he is not apologizing for his remarks supporting Trump’s economic policy and would not turn down other future invitations.

“I didn’t say that to the Obamas and I didn’t say that to President Trump.”
