Calls for a boycott of Goya beans, chickpeas and other foodstuffs have grown louder after the company’s CEO, Robert Unanue, made a series of false claims about the presidential election in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Florida on Sunday.

On Monday, the Hispanic Federation, a non-profit organization headquartered in New York, released a statement signed by leaders of a dozen Latino advocacy groups.
Unanue was “entitled to support the candidate of his choosing”, it said. “What he most clearly should not be entitled to is the platform his role at Goya Foods provides to attack our democracy.” Advertisement
The leaders who signed the statement said it was time “the corporate governance structures at Goya Foods act” against Unanue.
Unanue has previously courted controversy with praise for Donald Trump, which last year prompted Ivanka Trump to pose, infamously, with a can of Goya beans.
Onstage in Orlando, Unanue called Donald Trump “the real, legitimate and still actual president of the United States”.
He also falsely claimed the presidential election that Trump lost conclusively to Joe Biden and the state contest in Georgia, which Biden won narrowly, were “not legitimate”, and claimed mail-in ballots were fraudulent.
“We still have faith,” Unanue said, “that the majority of the people of the United States voted for the president … I think a great majority of the people in the United States voted for President Trump, and even a few Democrats.”

Trump has continued to lie about the election, in January inciting supporters to attack the US Capitol...

Meanwhile, in a Birmingham cemetery, Eric Arthur Blair, a/k/a George Orwell, flip-flopped in his grave, which was quite a feat since he's really buried in Oxfordshire. Mr. Pengelly, however, has told me to shut up, because I'm just repeating a Trump lie and assaulting democracy.
I will continue to hit the Goya sections at the two groceries I frequent. I know exactly where they are. The Goya board would be unwise to act in a way that would make me forget.
Henceforth, naming The Guardian as a source is in and of itself a barf alert.
This was tried before (last year) and the result was the best single day sales ever enjoyed by Goya.

Yep.... nothing like a good old fashioned boycott to bring some of these ultra-biased companies to heel.
Let’s start with the guardian.
Oops.... I thought boycotting was considered racist. I’m so confused.
Can we continue to make fun of The Guardian, or would that violate the boycott?
i have some Goya products to buy today it looks like.
Deliberately buying a product to spite woke a$$holes is called a girlcott. Support the girlcott. Buy Goya.
I am going to hit every store in town and clear out their stock of Goya ginger beer.
When the SHTF I dont want to run out.
I wonder if I can order by the case online.
JUst added some to our shopping list.

I’m gonna make time to make it by El Mercado today to pick up some stuff. Honestly my stock of canned beans and salsas, and olive oil is pretty good. Better too much than not enough...
Or just avoid all national name brands. They all fund the LEFTIST media.
Buy local/generic as much as possible.
Buycott companies that give a finger to the wokeness
Last time they tried this Goya had a 1000 percent sales increase. Many of us tried Goya for the first time. Keep talking leftists.
Back to the GW Bush days & the gravitas mantra. The same banner headline was on our local tv news that Trump repeats election lies in CPAC speech. We are only allowed their version of truth and anything opposed to that is labeled as lies.
It is easier to spot/recognize when they all run with the same wording.
Guardian is the liar; Trump won.
Jao Bai-Din is a fraud and a sock puppet of Communist China.
Kamala Harris is a criminal, having illegitimately fund raised for, and now sitting in the Vice President's chair since she's ineligible because she's not a natural born citizen.
I think I can find a little more room on my Goya Products shelves...
time to STOCK UP!!!
The Guardian is a lying, left-wing lymie rag that can go up in flames for all I care.
