Goya boycott backfires bigly as Trump supporters buy up Goya products like it’s Christmas

BPR

"The Left’s “Boycott Goya” campaign to bully and silence Goya Food CEO Robert Unanue for praising President Trump backfired in epic fashion after scores of Trump supporters launched their own counter-boycott called “Goya Buy-cott.”
"The “Buy-cott” campaign inspired countless Trump supporters to go to their local stores and buy up Goya olives, seasonings, beans, and frozen foods like it’s Christmas.
"In fact, Goya couldn’t have asked for better marketing if it had paid millions of dollars in prime-time TV and newspaper ads.
"President Trump kicked things off by tweeting, “I love Goya Foods!”'   . . .
Naturally, this silliness could not avoid the satire of Babylon Bee:
Democrats Call For Labels Warning Consumers If A Company's CEO Voted For Trump
It could work well in California. That state is deeply committed to warning labels and to hating anything Trumpish. TD

"Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and other Democratic representatives proposed a new law today that would help consumers make better-informed decisions when it comes to really political purchases like beans."The new law would force CEOs who voted for Trump to disclose this important nutritional information on all the company's products."When you're shopping for beans, like, the first thing you want to know is, like, if the CEO is a Trump supporter," said Ocasio-Cortez. "My abuelita and I would, like, go shopping at the bodega when I was growing up in hard-knock Yorktown Heights. And she'd always tell me, 'Mija, the first thing to know about buying good food is you have to make sure the CEO of the company isn't a Republican.' And, like, that always stuck with me.""When asked what nutritional value this could possibly have, Ocasio-Cortez called the reporter racist and said he was "catcalling" her." . . .
