Actress Eva Longoria is criticized for her MSNBC interview where she claimed Latina women were the "real heroines" of the election, outperforming black women and men.

Longoria emphasized that Latinas are the "CEOs of the households" and persevered through voter suppression that others supposedly did not.
Roland Martin reports on the backlash Eva Longoria received from black women, leading to her public apology. The hosts note Martin's own slip-up where he claimed black voters voted "against Donald Trump" rather than "for Joe Biden."

The hosts read Eva Longoria's Twitter apology, where she clarified that her comments were meant to compare Latina women to Latino men, not black women.

The hosts highlight how Longoria effectively threw Latino men "under the bus" to appease her critics.
