Goya Foods boycott takes off after its CEO praises Trump
The hashtag #Goyaway was trending on social media Friday after Robert Unanue, CEO of Goya Foods, appeared in the White House Rose Garden Thursday afternoon and praised President Donald Trump.

Goya Foods is the largest, Hispanic-owned food company in the United States!
So lets try and put a lot of people out of work because the CEO likes Trump

I was just about to start a thread on this.
This kind of boycott is stupid, and the worst kind. Same thing the right did to the Dixie Chicks.
Boycotts can have limited effectiveness to change a specific behavior - but we have to stop boycotting just because we disagree w/ someone politically. It's the marketplace of ideas - if you don't like someone's idea or opinion, counter it w/ a better one. Don't just try to shut them up.

Do you know how many people it takes to put out records and put bands on the road?
Same thing, exactly. The right didn't like their opinion, so they tried to shut them up.

I do. And it ain't as many as you think it is.
Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Good to see you are not so concerned about the unemployed hispanics in America............
"There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

I don’t buy Goya, never have, there are cheaper alternatives that are just as good.
I disagree, it is my prerogative to spend my money on products who support my principles. I try to buy American made when possible.

I respect that, but that's different. Of course you can make whatever individual choice you want based on your own feelings. Same with those who decided on their own to stop buying the Chicks.
It's organized boycotts that I find lazy & ham-handed. Offer up better ideas - I don't like the idea of just shutting people up because we don't agree w/ them.

Did the products "support your principles" when the company was honored by Obama? Just curious
