GOYA Foods CEO: AOC Called For Boycott, Sales Jumped, So We Named Her Employee of the Month

GOYA Foods CEO Bob Unanue spoke recently about naming Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC) employee of the month after her calls for boycotts resulted in company sales spiking.

GOYA Foods CEO Bob Unanue was guilty of attending a White House business summit where he stated that America is, “truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder.”

This simple statement of tepid support sparked outrage from politicians like Julian Castro and AOC.

.@GoyaFoods 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. #Goyaway https://t.co/lZDQlK6TcU
