Apparently not. The guy's name is not Goya it's Robert Unanue and he is the CEO of Goya Foods.

The offending words are ...

Today, it gives me great honor, and by the way, 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. He came to this country to build, to grow, to prosper. We have an incredible builder, and we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country that we will continue to prosper and to grow.
Seems pretty normal to me. Oh wait, he said something nice about the OrangeManBad. That must be it.

Meanwhile back in 2012 Michele Obama as part of her Let's Move! initiative, partnering with the same Robert Unanue to promote one of her causes. Same guy. Same company. Different result.

Of course this is a picture perfect example of the toxic cancel culture that has risen on the American Left. If you dare disagree with us we will destroy you. It should be noted that Mr. Unanue is a Latino American which of course makes his sin even worse. A none white American saying something nice about his President.

So Skybird some questions for you. Do you think that Mr. Unanue should be able to speak his mind freely in America? And do you think he should be punished for voicing his opinion? And more importantly will this kind of political reprisal make America a better place?
