Goya CEO Robert Unanue said that he won’t apologize for praising President Donald Trump despite calls to boycott from left-wing politicians and celebrities.

The boycott call is “oppression of speech … you’re allowed to talk good or to praise to one president but you’re not—when I was called to be part of this commission to aid in economic and educational prosperity and you make a positive comment, all the sudden that’s not acceptable,” Unanue told Fox News on Friday. “I’m not apologizing for saying. If you’re called by the President of the United States, you’re going to say, ‘No I’m sorry, I’m busy, no thank you?’ I didn’t say that to the Obamas and I didn’t say that to President Trump.”
