CNN reports:
The chief executive officer of Goya Foods, Robert Unanue, made a series of false claims about the 2020 election at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Sunday — a little more than a month after the company board took action to limit his polarizing public political remarks.
On Sunday, though, Unanue appeared on the CPAC stage in Orlando and said: “It’s just an honor to be here. But my biggest honor today is gonna be that — I think we’re gonna be on the same stage — as, in my opinion, the real, the legitimate, and the still actual president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.”
Unanue also said at CPAC that “not only the presidential election” but “the Georgia election” was “not legitimate.”

Goya’s Unanue went on to joke, “Sorry Twitter, I’ve already been canceled. You can’t do it again. No way,” then to say that Americans aren’t entitled to vote 10 times (they didn’t), then to say that “the majority” of the people voted for Trump (Biden got the majority).

Unanue told the New York Post last month: “Independently, I’ve made the decision to lower the temperature and walk away from speaking about politics and religion.” https://t.co/Did37jAILJ
