CNN’s Chris Cuomo had an absolute MELTDOWN last night over photos of President Trump and Ivanka Trump posing with Goya products to support the company after calls for a boycott by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and others.
Transcript:
You tell me how a president in the middle of a pandemic has got time for this bulls*it. Are you kidding me? Hawking products? They’re Goya, I don’t care who it is. Resolute desk. This is what he’s resolute about. Pandemic priorities. His daughter, Ivanka, top White House adviser–are you kidding me? Marketing for a brand following calls for boycotts after Goya’s CEO heaped praise on Trump last week. On your dime, in the middle of a pandemic, they’re selling beans. Are you kidding me? Seriously? Seriously? This is not left and right, this is reasonable my brothers and sisters. The guy’s sitting on the Resolute desk with a bunch of Goya products.”
Watch:
It's ironic how Chris Cuomo's flipping out over the Trump's Goya photos "during a pandemic," when he had his own brother on to make jokes with and hold a gigantic cotton swab as part of a gag. pic.twitter.com/fSG0JWA0H8

Oh, and it wasn’t President Trump that made this political in the first place:
People also seem to forget that it was a bunch of triggered liberals who announced loudly they were no longer going to purchase GOYA products because the CEO had the temerity to praise Trump. YOU people made it into a political issue.

Blame AOC for all this:
Oh look, it’s the sound of me Googling “how to make your own Adobo” https://t.co/YOScAcyAnC

ICYMI, here are the photos that set him off:
And from Ivanka:
If it’s Goya, it has to be good.
