Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has been named “employee of the month” at Goya, the nation’s largest Hispanic-owned food company, after her participation in a boycott against the company resulted in higher sales.
“When she boycotted us, our sales actually increased 1,000%, so we gave her an honorary…she got employee of the month for bringing attention to Goya and our adobo,” says CEO Robert Unanue.
AOC’s attack on Goya came after Mr. Unanue praised President Donald Trump’s leadership abilities during an event marking the signing of the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative.
“Oh look, it’s the sound of me Googling ‘how to make your own adobo,’” tweeted AOC, who is of Puerto Rican descent. Her petty comment reached more than 10 million people.
The boycott against Goya was further publicized by former HUD Secretary Julian Castro, who criticized Unanue for “praising a president who villainizes and maliciously attacks Latinos for political gain,” and by President Trump himself, who tweeted, “I LOVE @GoyaFoods!”

Despite the boost in sales, Mr. Unanue is no fan of AOC. Speaking Monday on the “Michael Berry Show,” he described her as ‘naive’ and accused her of going against her own culture.
He also criticized America’s reliance on social media and accused politicians of ‘weaponizing’ the coronavirus against the working class. “They turned their weapons, in a political year, on the masses,” says Unanue. “This is discrimination against the working class. We’re not teaching our children. We’re not working.”

Maybe she can open that big mouth of hers again and increase your sales once more, what a way to start 2021
I’m so glad I read this article. I couldn’t imagine ANYONE or COMPANY awarding AOC for anything good. So glad her stupidity brought sales for you. Thank you Mr. Unanue for your getting this out to the public. God Bless YOU!
She sure did help them. With help as that they all need her to rant .
Shows how much juice she really has. Bad mouth a company & sales soar. She’s a joke, an anomaly & a clown. Fun’s over, vote her out.
Will someone please take her out
As negative as AOC is as an elected official [and still wonder how on earth that happened], I had to laugh at the fact that she actually thought they were honoring HER, rather than the result of her tweet. Truly, she has no business “working” for U.S.Citizens!!!
Wow! I never realized her boobs were that big… cool!
shall never be voted out of office because the people in the district I’m not the brightest people around the continual vote the wrong people in getting nothing in return that only tells some people to not too bright
This is total BS. She did nothing for your company except boycott.
Kissing butt? She deserves absolutely nothing! What a joke!
She’s a low life ex bartender and worthless as tits on a boar hog.
