New Hampshire U. S. Senate candidate Andy
Martin says
the extreme left’s attacks on Goya Foods are a warning of what a Biden
administration would look like. A “cancel culture” would be deployed to stifle
debate and prohibit discussion of any views that oppose leftist-socialist orthodoxy.
Andy finds the “boycott” organized by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez against
Goya Foods another example of Cortez’ utter stupidity and incompetence. Cortez
has generated a pro-Goya backlash. Andy purchased Goya products for the first
time in his life. Paella anyone?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
(MANCHESTER, NH) (July 20, 2020)
Dear Granite State Voter:
When I signed on as a U. S. Senate candidate I never expected to be
writing about beans, a hill of beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, kidney
beans. But then I underestimated the stupidity of Sandy Cortez of Westchester
County, a/k/a Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of the Bronx, and her fellow traveler former
presidential candidate Julian Castro. They are dumb.
The chief executive of Goya Foods, the largest source for Latino
cuisine in America (please see link [1] for details), visited the White House recently
and praised President Trump. CEO Bob Unanue had previously visited President
Obama without any outcry or even notice. But when Unanue extended a reciprocal
courtesy to Trump, Ocasio-Cortez and Castro exploded with anger, calling for a boycott
of Goya Foods (please see link [2] below). When the president, in response to
the left’s boycott, displayed Goya Foods in the Oval Office, the media were
quick to claim an “ethics violation” had occurred (please see link [3] below).
The ethics attack was complete nonsense.
In my many writings I do not usually list or discuss my grocery purchases.
But last week I bought Goya products as part of the “buy-cott” organized by
supporters of the Goya Company. I do not believe I ever purchased Goya products
before; I am not much of a cook and know little about Latino foods. I grew up
in a Greek household and so I gravitate to Greek recipes with, of course, a
healthy supply of regular American cuisine (roast beef was on the menu Sunday and
occasional junk food). Not surprisingly, I am on a diet.
But I had to make a statement in support of Goya. Every time we have a
business person make a few remarks about our president, we can’t have leftist
crazies demand that the business executive’s firm be destroyed. It’s insane.
Businesses should be welcome visitors at the White House.
Goya Foods is an incredible success story. It began with a small
grocery started by immigrants (link [1]). It remains a family-owned firm. The success
of Goya Foods should not be controversial or political in any rational universe.
Visits by executives to the White House should also be nonpartisan.
But the “cancel culture” being spread by extreme leftists means that
every incident, no matter how small, must be escalated into a war against
President Trump. Every contact becomes a launching pad for vitriol against the
president. Ocasio-Cortez and Castro and their supporters should be ashamed of
themselves.
I don’t always agree with President Trump. But I usually ignore the “small
stuff” and reflect on the fact he has done an incredible job for the nation.
Ironically, on the way to an expected reelection, earlier this year he was
betrayed by the Chinese Communist regime that spread its disease into the
United States and around the world for the umpteenth time in the past half
century. The left’s Goya attacks do not amount to a hill
of beans.
Joe Biden actually says it best: Don’t compare him to the almighty;
compare him to the alternative. Likewise, I would compare Trump to the
alternative, but there isn’t any. Biden regrettably is a mere shadow of himself,
and the Democratic Party he seeks to lead no longer exists. Polls which “support”
Biden are a complete fraud. Those polled know virtually nothing about Biden.
Biden is a chimera.
And so, we start where we began, with a hill of beans. Goya beans. They
sell a lot of different varieties.
There probably won’t be any civility between now and November. Nancy
Pelosi is becoming increasingly unhinged. The president is subject to the most
relentless media attacks I have ever seen, and I will write more about them
tomorrow.
But, by buying a few Goya products, and trying out those you like and
maybe don’t like, you could respond to the cancel culture of the extreme left that
won’t stop rest until it has completely undermined our common heritage and common
social norms. How about it? “Go Goya!”
God bless the Goya company. I hope they are even more prosperous as a
result of being unfairly pilloried by the “dumbsters” Ocasio-Cortez and Castro.
Reasonable people can disagree about some of President Trump’s decisions; but
his welcome of the Goya CEO to the White House, and the CEO’s response, is not
one of them.
Sincerely,
Andy
