Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, former presidential candidate Julian Castro and other prominent Democratic leaders are calling for a boycott of Goya Foods after its CEO appeared at the White House last week and said America is “blessed” to “have a leader like President Trump.”
Goya’s products are a staple in many Hispanic homes, although their popularity is broader than a single ethnicity.
Ocasio-Cortez promoted a boycott in multiple tweets and even posted a recipe for adobo.
