Eva Longoria is under fire and trending for all the wrong reasons this morning.
The actress and ardent Democrat was interviewed by MSNBC about Joe Biden becoming the president-elect of the United States after pulling off a historic win.
With analysts beginning to weigh-in on the data surrounding how he won, the ‘Desperate Housewives’ star was approached for her take.
Suffice to say, her words have sparked controversy.
Find out why below…
Speaking to MSNBC about the impact of women on the election result, Longoria said:
“The Women of color showed up in a big rates. Of course in Georgia, you saw what Black women have done. But Latina women were the real heroines. Beating men in every State and voting for Biden and Harris.”
Watch:
Eva Longoria to @AriMelber on the impact of Latina women: “That spirit and perseverance that Latinas use in their daily life, the struggle to pay their bills and the struggle to show up to their jobs … that’s the same perseverance and spirit they used to show up to the polls,” pic.twitter.com/BiATbXbaeG

Her words sparked a seismic debate.
For, while minorities collectively showed up and showed out in support of the president elect, the sheer volume of the Black vote (particularly in key decisive States such as Georgia) prompted Biden himself to specifically thank the Black community in his victory speech.
As at writing, folk on Twitter have expressed outrage:
With that, what are…
Cancel Eva Longoria!
But when you tell folks Latinos are not your allies they get mad? Just look at how they treat their own Afro Latino brothers and sisters. They are so desperate to be white adjacent. Black people need to remove themselves from the POC Label.
Facts
“They” generalized all Latinos… Stop. Ok me person spoke that’s it. Leave it at that. I’m sure you f*** w Latinos and this little quote won’t change that.
Learn how to read and write moron. I don’t f*** with Latinos you’re not important or even a factor hence the declaration to be included in conversations about black women, not the other way round. Stay pressed and mad. Niether the President nor VP acknowledged your asses despite licking white man’s asshole 24/7. Bye ashy.
Here is a little tidbit. Trump did acknowledge y’all but only to throw y’all in cages, build walls and call you rapists… Let that sink in.
Not bothered by a racist. You’re guided by your emotions. That’s weak.
Latinos make a huge portion of the worlds population and contribute immensely to the US.
You are a sad person with a peanut sized brain.
I can’t believe she said that!
Camila cabello: now why am I in it?
U see how I get thrown into things, when I didnt do anything *nene leaks voice*
😂😂
Leave our girl alone.
Is Eva dumb?? 37% of latinas votes for Drumpf. Black women saved our country
Saved them from what?
Black women n black gay men who don’t get enough credit but tend to vote the same as black women def won this election
Latinos supported trump overall
BLACK WOMEN… as a gay man, FCUK this comment. you s1ss1es need to stop equating yourselves with BLACK WOMEN knowing dman well BLACK GAYS constantly appropriate BLACK WOMAN BEHAVIORS.
Stfu lady
Statistics are statistics. And if they want more accurate ones they’ll start breaking them down past just gender
Y’all are messy and this was taken out of context.. wow, this page fuels a lot of hate and j won’t be returning come 2021
No ma’am it won’t be tolerated
Joe Biden didn’t win so everyone needs to calm down !! I hope y’all do know ;
***************£******************
-Biden was mentored by kkk leader named Robert Byrd
-He even spoke it his funeral and called him a mentor .
-Biden called black people super predators!!
-Biden was for segregation on buses he said “ he didn’t want his kids in a racial jungle “
-Biden Family was money laundering with China & Russia through Hunter Biden
-Hunter had ChildP on his computer and was messing with his dead brothers wife and kid .

By having this very debate, each and every one of them is wrong.
What is fu<king wrong with that country ?
Geez can you just stop labeling people with their origins ?
The majority has spoken, white, black, latinos, asians and everything in between. Stop trying to pull the blanket on your side. Enjoy the moment all together and stop dividing yourselves.
The fu<k seriously, what a stupid mentality that is being recycled over and over and over again.
Blacks and Native Americans
*one person’s quote.
Sorry for typos
TGJ stop spreading this nonsense…it’s not a competition among women of color as to which group among us made the largest contribution. The point is all women of color contributed significantly. We can’t afford and don’t have the time or luxury to be bickering among us. Ignoring the few people on Twitter who are bickering over something that doesn’t matter. I’m going to give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she just wanted to make sure the contribution of Latina women is not being overlooked and is being as recognized as that of black women. We have other things to concentrate on (like the runoffs in Georgia) and need to continue working together for the benefit of all of us.
Anne I agree w you.
I honestly thought that she was comparing Latino females to males in the turn outs. It didn’t help that it came after talking about Black women. I seriously don’t think she meant any disrespect.
