This is just amazing and beautiful.
You’ll remember when AOC tried to cancel Goya Foods because their CEO, Bob Unanue, dared to utter, “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder” and in the same sentence also had the audacity to invoke God and prayer.
Goya Foods is America’s largest Hispanic-owned food company, according to the company itself.
Julian Castro, former Housing and Urban Development secretary in the Obama administration, led the charge to boycott Goya after that offensively patriotic statement with the very stupid hashtag #Goyaway.
He tweets that Goya Foods “has been a staple of so many Latino households for generations. Now their CEO, Bob Unanue, is praising a president who villainizes and maliciously attacks Latinos for political gain. Americans should think twice before buying their products.”
In addition to her focus on finding alternative recipes from the Goya-supplied products, she drew attention to what Unanue said about Trump and what it meant for Latinos in America.
Unfortunately for AOC, her boycott did not gain the traction she hoped. Instead, Goya sales grew exponentially. So much in fact that Unanue named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “employee of the month” after she called for Americans to boycott his company.
Unanue made the announcement during “The Michael Berry Show”, saying,
“When she boycotted us, our sales actually increased 1,000%, so we gave her an honorary — we never were able to hand it to her — but she got employee of the month for bringing attention to Goya and our adobo.”
And that, ladies and gents, is the best thing you’ll read on the internet today!
More details of this story from AWM:
Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, also started promoting Goya Foods following her dad’s meeting with the company’s CEO. She shared an image of herself holding up a can of Goya black beans with a message for her followers to buy it.
Many people were shocked that the president and his family would be promoting a product like this. Presidents do not often use their power to help other people make a profit from product sales.
Ocasio-Cortez argued that Trump’s promotion of Goya was a violation of the rule that prohibits the president from the “endorsement of any product, service, or enterprise.”
