The 80+ year old food company that donates millions of dollars worth of their products every year is now facing backlash for recently praising President Trump. 'They' want a boycott of the company.
I happen to like their products and am now on the way out to buy more of it.

I love it when these woke boycotts backfire on them... like when they
pitched a fit about Chick-fil-a or that duck guy... I hope it works out for
Goya...

What I find interesting is the news reports which reference articles from the MSM (you know NPR, MSN, ect). It is, I believe, an attempt by the liberal news media and not really anything from the public.
More and more the "freedom of the press" is in high jeopardy since they appear to no longer report news but make the news themselves.

never heard of the company but if they employ US citizens and the products sell well and they make money and provide a good product, who cares who they support in politics?  The head honcho of one of the top largest companies around the 100 mile radius made a dumb political remark instead of keeping quiet and now they want to boycott the largest most profitable organization around me by far. I know one person who works there GREAT benefits harder than heck to get in there if over age 30 have tried several times no luck is a yuppie younger crowd employed there. Who cares, if they pay me well and great benefits and I can do the job, hire an older person but HR chooses not to know several who have tried and all they employ are youngsters. |

I saw a bunch calling for a boycott on twitter yesterday. Several were calling him a racist for making positive comments about President Trump. So this Hispanic guy is a racist because he thanked President Trump for passing an initiative to help Hispanic people to start and own their own business'. TDS is truly a real mental illness. |

Crazy times we're living in now. This call for a boycott is as bad as the Ford employees calling on management to discontinue the production of police vehicles. They basically want to end the production of thousands of police vehicles which would likely lead to loss of jobs for however many people. https://nypost.com/2020/07/10/ford-urged-to-stop-making-cop-cars-amid-george-floyd-protests/This is just one of the many websites that are reporting on it. |

Wouldn't that work out for Ford in reducing its work force ? Transfer those complaining about the cop cars to those assembly lines. Then stop making those cars for a short period while laying off those workers. Start up the line and bring in new workers if/as needed. |

Been using Goya products for decades.
I especially like the Maria cookies. Good, simple, cheap.
Their flavored rice products have more sodium than I'd like, but are still really good.
I use their canned beans in my "Santa Fe Soup" that I make in 5 gal batches (not really, but close) and freeze and eat for months.
Ain't no puke bag calling for a boycott gonna change that.
Matter fact, next time I'm in the store, I'm gonna buy extra just cause.

They have a seasoning mix called Sazonador Total with pepper. That stuff is life itself. As the Franks Red Hot people say, I put that #### on everything.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v8-JTHS23MITheir sales continue to get better, 'skyrocketing'. Good, maybe there is hope. I have the feeling that many republicans are keeping quiet about the fact that they are republicans. I'm hoping thats true and comes out on Nov 3. A repeat of 2016 would be nice. Its certainly better than the alternative.

Have you seen Chris Cuomo' rant over Trump and Goya ? Infuriating. It makes me want to shove his face into a plate of refried beans.

Wife went shopping today (as usual) and noted that there were few Goya products on the store shelves. So, she bought two cans of black beans just to show support.
