Eva Longoria Apologizes & Clarifies: “African American Women Saved This Country”

Published: Wednesday 11th Nov 2020 by Sam

Eva Longoria found herself out of favor with some corners of the internet this week, following an interview on MSNBC.

As reported, the ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress appeared to downplay the importance of the Black vote in delivering Joe Biden and Kamala Harris their historic win in the US presidential election in her spotlighting of the Latin impact.

Shortly after, she apologised.

And now she returned to MSNBC, this time on The Reid Out to re-affirm her apology and spotlight how crucial the Black vote was.

Speaking on the show, Longoria said:

“In my effort to celebrate Latina turnout, I diminished the importance of the Black women’s vote in this election. And what I said was wrong.

It is a fact that African American women showed up in record numbers and brought us to victory. They saved this country.”

Well said.
