Twitter of trump posing with a Goya can further down the linked article. Ivanka Trump pitches Goya Foods products on Twitter
Ivanka Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday evening to push products from Goya Foods, with critics quickly raising concerns that she was using her government position to boost a business. Trump, who serves as a senior advisor to her father President Trump in the White House, weighed in on growing controversy over the food company, tweeting, “If it’s Goya, it has to be good” and repeating the company’s slogan in Spanish. Article and 'The Price Is Right' picture here: Ivanka Trump pitches Goya Foods products on Twitterok. I wasn't boycotting their products before, but I am now. Just another Hatch Act violation - what's one more of the hundreds?

They must be hard up if the princess lowers herself to such a cheesy ad campaign.

I don't care about the tax returns. I just wonder why they aren't even trying in their talking points any more. White House specialty media director Carolina Hurley earlier sidestepped the ethics violation question by blaming the media and the so-called cancel culture. “Only the media and the cancel culture movement would criticize Ivanka for showing her personal support for a company that has been unfairly mocked, boycotted and ridiculed for supporting this administration ― one that has consistently fought for and delivered for the Hispanic community,” Hurley told The Hill. “Ivanka is proud of this strong, Hispanic-owned business with deep roots in the U.S. and has every right to express her personal support.” www.yahoo.com/huffpost/donald-trump-goya-instagram-endorsement-224252925.html

I can't boycott them because I don't think I've ever bought their products. I know my Woodmans has 2 aisles of ethnic foods and I've seen them there.

In one of the article, I saw there was some small time operation that has I think? an adobo mix and said he has gotten 1000 orders and requests for other mixes and he is all over it. Might that operation be Penzey's? I can vouch for their spices and seasonings. I order a lot from them. I checked their website - they are close to my work, but the plant is in an inconvenient spot. I think I will venture into their store and buy some of their Adobo mix. But that jar of Adobo is tiny compared to the size we usually buy! www.penzeys.com/search/#?q=adoboETA: Apparently their retail stores are closed and their on-line orders are backed up 2 weeks. It looks like they may have curbside pickup though.

HOLY SH*T!!! Now there are photos of trump in the wH, in the executive office, plugging Goya products.
I hope that if Biden wins in November (there is still that difficulty to defeat a sitting President to keep in mind) he keeps his current housing situation for at least another month after the fat one leaves office since they will have to thouroughly disinfect the WH since it will take at least that long before it will be fit for anyone but a cockroach to move in.
