Goya CEO said he was "not apologizing" for praising President Trump at the White House.

[sunonmars]

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 company’s products “suppression of speech.”

1. Please proceed...

[dhill926]

2. dumbass....

usually a good idea not to piss off the folks who buy your product...

[sunonmars]

4. I mean does he think he can make it up with Trump voters who would not know what was in a Goya can..

[area51]

3. CEO: Boycotting of Goya products is "suppression of speech."

No, it's called consequences.

[Nevilledog]

5. ETTD

Even if it's self-inflicted.

[Happyhippychick]

6. Boycotting isn't suppression of free speech, it's action against principles you don't like

I'm glad he used his free speech to reveal what an assclown he is, I'll use my capitalist dollars to support his competition

[Cognitive_Resonance]

7. I've used Goya products for decades, and promoted them among family and friends. No more.

I had no idea this is the kind of company they are. It's a shame their employees will suffer for the CEO's jack-assery.

[Docreed2003]

8. Lmao

So imma "not apologize" for no longer buying your products! That's not suppression of free speech you arrogant ass, that's me utilizing my free speech in the same way you did to praise the Orange Assclown...so, no apologies from me.

[GoCubsGo]

9. I was boycotting his company before he opened his mouth.

His stuff is over-priced, and I chose to buy from companies that don't rip off consumers.

[GeorgeGist]

10. Please say more ...

Dumbfuck!

[dalton99a]

11. Not buying a product is suppression of speech?

Keep talking, asshole

[awesomerwb1]

12. Free market dumbass

I choose which products I want to buy and I can tell you they won't be Goya's.

[sop]

13. I don't think Mr. Unanue fully understands the situation.

Unanue said: "So, you’re allowed to talk good or to praise one president [Obama], 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.”

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.

[NCjack]

16. Is he so stupid that he does not know that Trump has separated hispanic children from

their families, sent the parents either to jail or back south of the border, and holds the children in cages. Is he really that stupid? If he has extra money from the Goya sales, why isn't he paying lawyers to cause Trump to stop it?

I'm buying my stuff from other vendors.

[Goodheart]

14. I have bought much Goya product over the years. That practice comes to an end NOW.

Am I seeking to suppress your speech, Mr. Unanue? Damn right I am. STFU.

[ProfessorGAC]

40. Same Here

And I like their sauces.
No more!

[Goodheart]

15. Just exactly what was he praising trump for, anyway?

For locking Central American children in cages? For trying to extort Mexico into building a wall? For calling Latinos thugs and murderers? For making us a Russian puppet state?

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

[lunatica]

19. Trump also called Mexicans rapists

Those were practically the first words out of his mouth after he rode the escalator down to “our level” to announce his intention to destroy this country.

[onecaliberal]

17. It's called free market- #Boycott GOYA

[Wellstone ruled]

18. let it happen.

[lunatica]

20. He's whining to the whiner in Chief.

[lark]

21. OK, gotta tell the cook not to buy this brand again.

Hubby is cook and buys groceries, so will let him know to add this to the list.

[Goodheart]

22. La Costena and San Marcos are terrific brands, and usually less expensive than Goya.

[lark]

23. Thanks, I'll share with him.

[handmade34]

24. #goyaway

note to Mr. Unanue: we are NOT blessed to have trump as its leader(??) and he is not a builder (nor a leader)

The actor and activist Lin-Manuel Miranda on Friday added, “We learned to bake bread in this pandemic, we can learn to make our own adobo con pimienta. Bye.”

[sdfernando]

25. How did this asshole become head of that company

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?

[Ritabert]

27. Family company

His parents or grandparents founded it.

[dhol82]

36. Grandfather. Family now worth over 1.1 billion.

Typical trumpettes.

[Ritabert]

37. Thanks.

Typical Trumper.

[Ritabert]

26. There are other brands.

Badia or Iberia are alternatives.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

28. Guess I'm way ahead. Always thought some of their products were shit quality. Especially

what they dare call "sofrito". If you can't make your own. There's lots of homemade alternatives in smaller stores.

[hlthe2b]

29. It may be the most popular brand for certain food products, but hardly the only

and I won't miss the company. Hardline time. There are lives at risk, bigotry at play, and children who will never be reunited with their families due to this wicked administration. No excuse for enabling such sadism and incompetence.

[Jirel]

30. Fine. We're not apologizing for the boycott.

We’ll see how you’re doing in a month or two.

[Aristus]

34. If you don't buy his products, you're suppressing his speech!

Don't ask me how, but he seems pretty convinced of it......

[rockfordfile]

31. The guy is pos fascist

[Aristus]

32. I expect you'll be apologizing to your shareholders here before too long.

And if I don't buy your products, I'm suppressing your speech......how?......

[revmclaren]

33. I have a few cans of their chickpeas

left. After they are gone, I will prepare my own from dry or find another brand.

I shared the boycott on social media as well.

Another company that will go down due to tRump.

Everything tRump touches dies.

[CanonRay]

35. You have a right to speak

We have a right not to buy your shit.

[Vinca]

38. There's no need for anyone to buy Goya products ever. Other companies make similar products.

Maybe he can get a contract for resort orders from Trump. Of course, he'll never get paid for the stuff, but the cult leader will love him.

[Loki Liesmith]

39. His company will be fine

Goya makes too many essential products to be hurt over the long term.
