This is just amazing and beautiful.
You’ll remember when AOC tried to cancel Goya Foods because their CEO, Bob Unanue, dared to utter, “We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder” and in the same sentence also had the audacity to invoke God and prayer.
Goya Foods is America’s largest Hispanic-owned food company, according to the company itself.
However, AOC’s mission to ruin the company’s reputation 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.
Julian Castro led the charge to boycott Goya after that offensively patriotic statement with the very stupid hashtag #Goyaway 🙄:
And then AOC co-signed the boycott while at the same time acting as though she never makes any of her own food:
“Oh, look, it’s the sound of me Googling ‘how to make your own Adobo,’” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter following the roundtable with Trump.
Unfortunately for AOC, her boycott did not gain the traction she hoped. Instead, Goya sales grew exponentially. So much in fact that Unanue named Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “employee of the month” after she called for Americans to boycott his company.
Hilariously, Goya sales then shot up 1,000%!
Unanue was just interviewed on The Michael Berry Show, where Berry commented:
When you see the radical plans like the Green New Deal, when you hear politicians like AOC spouting these things off, agriculture is a major employer in this country but it’s also a major consumer of energy, as you noted earlier. It’s an intensive process for labor and energy. And they are talking about things that would drive the cost of energy through the roof in some cases making it prohibitive for marginal players. How much does that concern you and how much do you feel the need to step up and say, “Hey, guys, you want me to lay off these thousands of employees because that’s what would have to happen?”
Like a boss, Unanue replied:
You know, communism works until you run out of other people’s money to spend. We’re not going to be able to do that. It’s interesting that AOC was one of the first people to step in line to boycott Goya; go against her own people, as supposedly a Puerto Rican woman, to go against people of her own Latin culture. She’s naïve. To some extent I can understand AOC; she’s young; she’s naïve; she doesn’t get it. But you’ve got someone like (Bernie) Sanders, who’s older than us, older than me, and he still doesn’t get it.
We still have to chat with AOC; I love her. She was actually our Employee of the Month; I don’t know if you know about this, but 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 but she got Employee of the Month for bringing attention to GOYA and our adobo. Actually our sales of adobo did very well after she said “Make your own adobo.”
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.
