Ivanka Trump pitches Goya Foods products on Twitter

Ivanka Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday evening to push products from Goya Foods, with critics quickly raising concerns that she was using her government position to boost a business. The tweet comes as Goya faces a flood of criticism after its CEO praised President Trump at a White House event last week, sparking calls for a boycott.

Trump, who serves as a senior advisor to her father President Trump in the White House, weighed in on growing controversy over the food company, tweeting, “If it’s Goya, it has to be good” and repeating the company’s slogan in Spanish.

Speculation swirled that the White House adviser may have violated an ethics law with the tweet, with the law stating that “An employee shall not use or permit the use of his Government position or title or any authority associated with his public office to endorse any product, service or enterprise.” “You’re about to get dinged for a violation of ethics rules that apply to you as a White House staffer,” tweeted GOP operative Liz Mair.

President Trump tweeted his own support for Goya Foods last week amid backlash against the company, writing, "I LOVE @GoyaFoods!"

She looks like her ugly little 14-year-old self again. Even Donald wouldn't hire her now.

Not buying any more while they suck up to the criminal tRump family.

I still suspect that she displayed that particular Goya product because of the Spanish word for black on it, which she thought might offend some African Americans.

It's my brain not working.

I once posted to a newsgroup about a software problem I was having.
I said I fixed it by downloading a new virgin (version).

Guys wanted to know where to get one too.
