The event at the White House came as Trump’s re-election campaign sought to boost his standing among members of a key constituency who have often felt alienated by his policies and political rhetoric. Ocasio-Cortez suggested to her 7.5 million followers on Twitter that they find homemade alternatives to Goya’s popular Adobo seasoning.

Separately on Fox News, White House adviser Kellyanne Conway decried the controversy. “It’s just a shame that people make everything so politicized, including food,” she said. Politically motivated calls for economic boycotts have become commonplace on social media in recent years, with mixed results.

Oh, did someone offend the TwitterBabies? We should probably stop having a right to personal opinions because it might offend them... Why, we would not want to offend them as they might riot, loot, burn our cities and murder children like violent BLM and ANTIFA protestors...

Those hate ninjas on tweeter will only buy antifa/BLM support food even if is shit wrapped in red paper. Silent majority doesn’t give a fuck about what you think

Thanks .We saw BuyGoya taking off

No more Goya beans BoycottGoya

Never have bought it, never will now!

For every woke they lose, they’ll gain two normal customers including me.

Remember what happened during the 2016 election when Democrats called for a boycott of Yuengling Beer whose owner supported Trump. Sales soared.

GoyaWay

Right, $81 million for a five mile move and nine new employees?

Love GoyaFoods

GoyaFoods You now have a new customer. Thank You.

What backlash? Maybe forwardlash. Many across America are doubling on buying Goya

This fucker just sunk his business because he will be boycotted 💩🤡

Glad I saw this. Will make sure not to buy GoyaFoods products. Shame to see a Latin person celebrate a President that call Latinos animals. BoycottGoya

Looks like Goya triggered a toddler tantrum😂

¡¡¡ No más Goya !!!...💥💥💥

Don't mess with .GoyaFoods , Hispanics across the world will not show mercy !

I agree boycot any brand Supporting a president who authorized the killing of US troops. He didn’t do anything about it so think about that.

How about Julian Assange?

Will Goya be rebranded as Gone Ya?

Looks like Goya is getting more support than hate. Lot of their products are sold out already on Amazon. Just stocked up on more Goya Mole and Sazon.

Asslicking doesn't discriminate.

Meh. Hateful racists who hate a cultural food manufacturer are not going to affect sales much. Goya is likely to have record sales. Lot of stuff already sold out on Amazon. Doubt most of these anti Goya people ever cooked up a pot of mole sauce anyway. Too trashy to be classy.
