AOC Tried To Start A Boycott, But The Company’s Sales EXPLODED…. joe December 13, 2022 Uncategorized Who knew that buying beans would become such a political statement? Goya Food CEO Robert Unanue has deemed New York Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, also known by her initials AOC, as his company’s employee of the month after her call to boycott them resulted in their sales increasing by 1000%. The incident started after the Goya Food CEO has voiced his support of President Trump, he earned the ire of Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” CEO Robert Unanue said during a speech after meeting with Trump and other Hispanic leaders. Many people had committed to boycotting Goya products because of Unanue’s political affiliation, which was a cause that Ocasio-Cortez threw her weight behind. However, her mission did not get the results she intended because sales at Goya went through the roof in the weeks that AOC was calling for a national boycott. Robert, also known as Bob Unanue, appeared on “The Michael Berry Show,” and explained why the Democratic politician deserved the rewarded title the company gave her. Unanue had been criticized by AOC and others for praising Republican President Donald Trump during a visit to the White House by saying, “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder.” AOC had poked fun at Goya Foods on social media, saying in a tweet, “Oh look, it’s the sound of me Googling ‘how to make your own Adobo,’” along with sharing an alternate recipe to the Adobo seasoning to encourage boycotting buying from the brand that is a well-known, common Latino household item. But it backfired horribly, as Unanue explained on the radio show, saying: “When she boycotted us, our sales actually increased 1,000%, so we gave her an honorary — we never were able to hand it to her — she got employee of the month for bringing attention to Goya and our adobo.” According to AWM, Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, also started promoting Goya Foods following her dad’s meeting with the company’s CEO. She shared an image of herself holding up a can of Goya black beans with a message for her followers to buy it. President Trump might have also contributed to the rise in sales. He tweeted, “I love Goya Foods” following his meeting with Unanue. Nevertheless, Unanue wants to give credit to the increase of sales to Trump’s rival, Ocasio-Cortez.
