      While left-wing activists tried to hurt Goya’s bottom line, conservatives fought back by launching a “buycott” to support Unanue and his company.

      High-profile figures like Donald Trump Jr. and Ivanka Trump promoted Goya products, and the support led to a 22% surge in sales in the weeks following the controversy.

      Unanue even mocked the boycotters later that year, joking that Ocasio-Cortez had been Goya’s “employee of the month” because her boycott calls had only boosted sales.

      . . . After the 2020 election, Unanue made headlines again when he questioned Biden’s victory on Fox Business, calling it “unverified” and hinting at a “coming war.”
