Democrats and some consumers are calling to boycott Goya Foods products after the Hispanic owner and chief executive officer (CEO) praised U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday.

"We're all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder," Robert Unanue, CEO of Goya Foods, said during the roundtable together with Hispanic business and political leaders across the country.

Unanue noted that the country has an incredible builder and that they are praying for Trump's leadership and the continuous growth and prosperity of the country.

He also announced during the roundtable at the White House that Goya Foods, along with some partners, plan to donate one million cans of Goya chickpeas and a million pounds of food to food banks, according to a report published by the NPR.

Following this, thousands, including some members of the Democratic lawmakers, called to boycott the Goya Foods products, a family-owned company that operates since 2004, according to a report published by The Denver Channel.

Many people expressed outrage because Trump has a history of a racial slur against Latin Americans and immigrants.

It can be remembered that Trump described the Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and "criminals" during his first campaign for the presidency.

On Thursday night, #BoycottGoya, #BoycottGoyaFoods, and #Goyaway went trending online. Democratic lawmakers also announced their support to boycott the product.

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York tweeted that "Oh look, it's the sound of me Googling 'how to make your own Adobo'."

Additionally, fellow Democrat Julian Castro tweeted that Americans should "think twice" before buying Goya products, which have been a staple of so many Latino households for generations.

The former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and a candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination lambasted the Hispanic CEO for praising a president, who attacks Latinos for political gains.

Unanue is a third-generation Spanish-American, who became the Goya Food's CEO since 2004. Goya Foods, which was established in 1936 in Manhattan, New York, had more than 4,000 employees. The firm had different facilities across the United States, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Spain.

The call to boycott the Goya products may be another form of political attack against the president as the 2020 U.S. presidential election comes near.

Unanue or a company representative has yet to issue a comment about the call to boycott Goya products.
