    On Thursday, 7-9-2020 - Unanue insisted that the United States is "blessed" to have Trump for president, spurning calls for boycotts of the beloved, affordable brand.

    He made the remarks at a White House event, saying, "We are all truly blessed ... to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder."

    "We have an incredible builder, and we pray — we pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country that we will continue to prosper and grow," he added.

    What are the details?
    Unanue appeared on Friday's broadcast of "Fox & Friends," where he said he would not apologize for the apparently controversial stance.

    "It's suppression of speech," Unanue said of people demanding a boycott of the brand.

    Among those calling for a boycott are Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), former Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro, and "Hamilton" star Lin-Manuel Miranda.

    WOW, AOC is calling for a boycott. Guess this isn't a cancel culture type event then.

    I just heard a great suggest from Guttfield. We need to start a website that exposes who the cancel culture complainers are and find out where they work and deluge their bosses with messages that their employees are attacking a company that feeds THOUSANDS for free every year wanting to put them out of business and that unless they fire these individuals their products will be boycotted.

    They make a lot of great products.... we have some in our pantry right now...

    We'll finish them off (can't waste food) then buy no more... I suspect there is a contamination of bad attitude in all of them going forward...

    Buy American Taco Sauce!! (Secret Recipe = Ketchup + water)

    Never tried their taco sauce I like el paso.

    But have at least 8 or so goya cans, boxes or jars in my pantry. Beans, rice, couple of sauces.


    Is that all the ceo said?
    Being complementary is now a sin?

    Oh but then you're just harassing them and they don't deserve such!

    At least that is what they will say while crying. It's perfectly OK for them to cancel others. Get them fired. Ruin their lives. But if you do it to them? God Forbid!

    We'll see... Chick-fil-A made some changes that might have placated some (GLAAD) but we are still at @ 8 months without that crap...

    Yes, they stopped multi year commitments to organizations like the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. They never ,
    explicitly said they would permanently stop donating to organizations that discriminate against LGBTQ people — they just said they were changing itheir philanthropic giving model.

    This is infinitely worse than McCarthyism. McCarthy was one man. This is a genocidal movement to erase anything but lock-step liberals from the face of the Earth.

    That Mexican needs to be brought to heel. That seems to be a theme of the Democrats. I remember when Hillary Clinton said black super predators needing to be brought to heel. That's how it goes on the plantation.

    Never heard of Goya before. Great advertising for Goya. GO Goya!!!!!!!!! Thanks tolerant cancel culture liberals.

    Bigot definition, a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

    Latinos are the fastest growing demographic in America and have been for decades now. Do you have a problem with Latinos?

    I never heard of Goya but they have just gained one more customer for life. I drive out of my way to get Chick-fil-A, and sleep very well on My Pillow.
    **** the malcontents.

    I'll be making a supermarket run this morning, and I'll be looking for Goya products to buy!

    And, we've stopped buying spices, hot chocolate, or anything else from Penzey's Spices because the CEO of the company (situated in a lib-infested suburb of Milwaukee) has made a real point of spreading all kinds of hatred against Trump -- starting almost the moment he took office.

    Too bad... the spices were good, but the CEO is a real ass.... If he just stuck to marketing products while keeping his damned mouth shut, he wouldn't lose business from people like me, who watch the 'politics' of companies very closely when their corporate big-wigs adopt loud-mouthed political positions that promote a "hate-ANYBODY" viewpoint....

    These Fascists are insane, filled with raged and view us as sub-human without our historic basic rights.

    So when they demand that we shut up, they expect us to shut up.
    When they command us to kneel, they expect us to kneel.
    When they order us to chant their slogan, they expect us to immediately chant their slogans.
    Next they'll demand that we turn in family members for not similar and immediate obedience, those that do not turn in loved ones will be suspected of collaboration with those that are "forbidden".

    I'm sad that this man is standing up to them, he will be crushed, stripped of everything, his family threatened and in the end he will beg and they will show no mercy.

    Stay quiet,
    Perform as commanded,
    Use your secret ballot to Vote For Trump.
    He needs 4 more years make Our Rights Great Again!

    "Trump Derangement Syndrome continues to move people to act in dishonorable and destructive ways."

    You all know what the next step in this cancel culture saga is, right? If progressives are allowed they'll start marking everyone that doesn't talk, act, and/or think in a manner they approve of. Historically this happens every time self-righteous extremists obtain a certain level of power.

    Some genocidal warlords of Africa brand the cheeks of the women they enslave. The Chinese mark the homes of their minorities with QR codes on the front door. The Nazis made Jews wear yellow star badges on their clothing. Given enough leeway the radical progressives of America will eventually develop their own way to mark the /cough "deplorables".
