Goya Foods CEO Robert Unanue has named Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “Employee of the Month” after she caused a recent spike in sales. However, it’s doubtful that AOC was too honored by the award as she has previously called for people to boycott the food brand.
After Unanue complimented President Trump for improving educational access and economic opportunities for Hispanic Americans Rep. AOC tweeted, “oh look, it’s the sounds of me Googling “how to make your own Adobo” effectively calling on people to boycott the company.

Townhall reports:
“We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump who is a builder, and that’s what my grandfather did,” the executive said. “He came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper. And so we have an incredible builder, and we pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”
But Unanue had the last laugh.
“We still have to chat with AOC. I love her,” Unanue said during an interview on The Michael Berry Show. “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 percent. 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.’”
The CEO also noted that AOC was responsible for not only helping the company maintain its sales base but also helped add a whole new batch of customers.
Goya is joking.
No, Goya is not. She earned Employee of the Month for increasing Goya’s sales. In fact, seeing how much profits increased after her slam, she should be honorary Employee of the Year.
I’m glad to see that Unanue (unlike so many other major company executives) has a sense of humor and doesn’t fall to his knees, trembling, when criticized by the woke crowd. If more followed his example, maybe we could get back to common sense. The only power they have over you is that which you give them.
Asinine, Of Course thinks we can “look” at “the sound”.
It will be the first and possibly the last time that AOC opened her mouth, and it helps any Americans?
You must be kidding??
That dumb b**ch could shut her mouth if it was sewn shut!!!
her big mouth made so many buy Goya in defiance of her. the “Award” is tongue in cheek” 🙂
You must be kidding??
That dumb-azz couldn’t shut her mouth if it was sewn shut!!!
Lol guaranteed it won’t shut her stupid mouth
She’ll do it again because the Dems just can’t help themselves sadly for us….
Ridiculous article.
Did this Latin Renegade think that maybe the Trump supporters, Latin or otherwise contributed to his sales increasing 1000%…WHAT A CABRON!
We did!! And by doing that we were saying F you to her!! That’s why he said that, that was HOS F you.
They tongue in cheek named her because her boycott increased their sales. The headline is misleading at best.
I immediately went out and bought a CASE of Goya black beans….at Dollar Tree. I use them to make this fabulous black bean soup. Thanks AOC for introducing me to this product. I had never bought any Goya products before the opened her big fat stupid mouth.
Your title reveals total confusion by whoever wrote it, unless you’re being quite facetious. Clearly, Goya isn’t “bowing to the Woke mob” as they lampoon this foolish Socialist. The result of AOC’s threats are similar to how Socialist gun-grabbers improve the bottom lines of the gun & ammo companies, of course…
That;’s not a betrayal!! That’s Goya giving AOC the middle finger basically. Just telling her, “Look what you did for us by encouraging people to boycott! Thanks, AOC!”
Your Headlines are so often misleading that I have concluded that you are either: a) stupid; or b) you think we are stupid. Here’s a hint. I am marking your emails as junk.
It wasn’t a “betrayal;” it was SATIRE!!!!
. . . See, THIS is why blondes are starting to tell AOC jokes !
Goya might just have shot themselves in the foot and may end up seeing themselves go broke since they chose the WRONG employee of the month…………
Our money is power – all patriots should boycott Hollywood movies and TV shows as the producers are anti-American and use the money they make off us – against us. Anyone who opposes President Trump and the MAGA supporters should not get a lousy penny from any of us. We need to purchase from companies like Goya Foods who stand with Trump and the USA.
I can just picture AOC’s face when she realized that her little tantrum had the opposite of her intended effect!
The heading is misleading. Yes AOC did increase sales for Goya, but only because she blacklisted them so everyone bought their products as a reaction to her big mouth! I doubt its a compliment to her 🙂
No Trump backed company caved to the woke. They were making fun of her because their sales went up a thousand percent and she’s an idiot. I hope to see her gone and soon. Let her go back to bartending rather than living off tax dollars in her thousand dollar suits and her luxury apartment she purchased after she got her tax dollar paycheck..
That is just one more example of how “two-faced” liberals are…… and it explains why liberals can’t ever be trusted.
That’s funny….what the hell kind of an award is that! First who cares about her and then that’s as far as she can go! Ha ha….oh by the way I JINXED all the swamp including her…..(old voodoo word)
Well she opened her big dumb mouth and made people buy more Goya products. Goes to show people thinks she is dumb and have screws loose!
