Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue has faced boycott threats ever since videos circulated on social media last week of him saying “We’re all truly blessed … to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder” during a Thursday Rose Garden ceremony announcing a “Hispanic Prosperity Initiative” that will, according to the White House, “improve Hispanic Americans’ access to educational and economic opportunities.”

In the face of those threats, Unanue has vowed not to apologize and says he won’t back down, claiming the calls to boycott his company from Democratic politicians and their supporters amounted to attempts at “suppression of speech.”

After Unanue received notice from Democrats that they were on the march to cancel his company after nearly 85 years of service to the Hispanic community, Republicans eagerly stepped up to support him by buying Goya Foods products for home cooking, while others started GoFundMe campaigns to raise money to buy enough Goya products to stock local food pantries.

President Trump’s daughter Ivanka took to the Twitter machine Tuesday night to express her support for Goya in a photo tweet in which she stated: “If it’s Goya, it has to be good”:

Good thing Jeff Sessions is no longer AG!

I know Ivanka doesn’t always get a lot of love on these threads, but this is one instance where her heart and her head are definitely in the right place.

Just so I understand. It is illegal for a government official to promote a product, but it is legal to call for a boycott of the product? That does not compute.

Maybe the FBI and DOJ can investigate. Those guys never find any evidence of anything.

This is what media personalities think is important? This is what they think will cause the rest of America outside their echo chambers to topple the President? A woman holding a can of beans? I’m just waiting for someone to scream racism over the color of the beans.

The left has two standards of right and wrong. Leftists, marxists, chicoms, m*slims and other America haters are allowed to do anything. Normal people are condemned for anything they do.

I also thought it was illegal for government officials to advocate the over throw of a duly elected government.

Call Mueller back to investigate, maybe he can get someone unrelated on ‘lying’ again by a DC court's Obama-judge
