QuoteThe hashtag #Goyaway was trending on social media Friday after Robert Unanue, CEO of Goya Foods, appeared in the White House Rose Garden Thursday afternoon and praised President Donald Trump.

"We are all truly blessed ... to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder," Unanue said during the Rose Garden speech. "We have an incredible builder, and we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president."

The fact that Unanue would associate with Trump was sufficient to anger some of America's most prominent Hispanic leaders. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suggested in a tweet that she'd boycott Goya.

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julián Castro acknowledged Goya's "staple" status in Latino households, but he encouraged people to reconsider buying Goya after Unanue's White House appearance.

If your brand wasn't just all rice and beans, I would consider buying/trying something. I am looking for non-woke products.

I saw this too and for the life of me, have never heard of their products.

you see it a lot in the Hispanic section.   I'm going to start buying it.  I know some leftist run stores have moved out his products to stores that deal in close outs and over runs.   Leftist pigs.

DOH!!!  Brainfart!!

Yes, I have bought their products, I love Mexican food. Man, I don't know why I didn't remember that.

If you can't find them because leftists stores are doing away with them, you can buy them here.

One commentator on Fox likened this to Biden telling the black radio host that "you ain't black" if he don't vote for Biden.  Now the Democrats say "you ain't Hispanic" if you don't vote for Biden.   Sooner or later they will run out of people to insult.

they're pretty big here in Texas, quality product with a very loyal following. One of my favorite companies to do business with back before I retired.

Julian Castro calls for boycott of Goya Foods.

isn't he sorta overstepping his bounds??  Should a former or current congressman be involving themselves in these business matters?


oh...well...I guess it's okay since he was just the Kenyan Prince's cabinet member....His brother is the congressman.

Well, like I said the brand has a loyal following, I bet a much larger following than both castro's ever had.

From what I heard on political talk shows on the radio, food banks and such are going to get a ton of beans because people are buying Goya products to donate to causes.

There hasn't been this much stink about beans since the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles.

I read that too. I was even considering buying a bunch of dry goods and having it sent directly to the local churches who do food donations.
I needed their help once long ago, and I was grateful for what they gave me.

Time to return the favor.
