Ivanka Trump plugs Goya products, in possible violation of federal law

President Donald Trump says he’s a Goya guy —and Ivanka tambien.

The first family lined up dramatically behind the Latino food products giant after its CEO sparked progressive boycott threats by effusively praising Trump in a White House visit.

“Goya is doing GREAT. The Radical Left smear machine backfired, people are buying like crazy!” Trump wrote on Twitter Wednesday.

It’s not just the president who is getting on the Goya bandwagon.

First daughter Ivanka Trump posted a photo of herself posing with a can of the company’s iconic black beans.

“If it’s Goya, it has to be good. Si es Goya, tiene que ser bueno,” Ivanka Trump wrote on Twitter.

The unusual endorsement of a product sparked an instant backlash.

Federal law prohibits White House officials like Ivanka Trump from using “their Government positions to suggest that the agency or any part of the executive branch endorses an organization, product, service, or person.”

U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., lashed out at her, switching to Spanish to accuse the Trump family of brazen corruption.

“Si es Trump, tiene que ser corrupto,” the progressive firebrand wrote on Twitter, adding a wad of cash emoji for emphasis.

Goya came under a hail of criticism last week after CEO Robert Unanue said the U.S. is “truly blessed” to have “a leader like President Trump.”

The White House event sparked calls for a boycott of the Latin food giant, with many critics pointing to Trump’s anti-immigrant stance and racist remarks about Mexicans and other Latinos.
