Goya Foods CEO: ‘We’re All Truly Blessed to Have a Leader Like’ Trump

Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue turned some heads Thursday when, at a White House event, he said, “We are all truly blessed … to have a leader like President Trump.”

Twitter lit up, with a number of influencers and heads of Latino-focused voters’ rights organizations urging people to stop buying from the Latin American-focused food giant.

Unanue “thinks we’re ‘blessed to have a leader’ who’s letting this pandemic kill us, cage our children, and constantly dehumanizes us,” Voto Latino tweeted. “Yo Goya, tell your man to stop praising a racist. Latinos made him and his family rich by buying Goya products for decades.”

Unanue was at the White House to meet with Trump and other Hispanic business and political leaders before Trump signed an executive order called the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative.
