Wow, this guy is a prize idiot.......he's literally throwing his company down the toilet....
Hispanic groups are literally tearing the company to pieces in the media.
Trump voters really are dumb......he can say what he likes but we can also take offence to it and make our protest known.
In an interview with Fox News, Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue said he was not apologizing for praising President Trump at the White House. He also called the boycott of his companys products suppression of speech.

(10,274 posts)Unanue said: "So, youre allowed to talk good or to praise one president [Obama], but youre not allowed to aid in economic and educational prosperity? And you make a positive comment and all of a sudden, it is not acceptable.
This isn't like praising Bush or Reagan, Mr. Unanue, and it's not a liberal vs. conservative thing. This president, the one you're praising and hanging out with at the WH, has done incredible damage to people of hispanic origin.

I'm buying my stuff from other vendors.

I already know the answer: for giving people like himself huge tax breaks.

sdfernando
(4,947 posts)Seriously, a boycott is "suppression of speech" ???? This guy is as dumb as the tanerganus. I don't generally buy their products, and I'm Hispanic, but will definitely not be buying anything with GOYA on the label. Anyone know if the sell under any other brand names?
