<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We finally have our President-Elect <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/?s=joe+biden&;post_type=post">Joe Biden</a> selected to represent the United States of America, and with that comes a greater discussion&#8211;Who was responsible for tipping the scale in his favor? While early exit polls suggest Blacks are the reason Joe Biden will be sworn into office, Eva Longoria said something a bit different.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On Sunday, while discussing the Latina impact with MSNBC’s Ari Welber, Eva Longoria stated Latina women were the “real heroines” in this election.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In part, she expressed, &#8220;women of color showed up in big ways. Of course, you saw in Georgia what Black women have done but Latina women were the real heroines here, beating men in turnout in every state and voting for Biden-Harris at an average rate of 3:1.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">She received a bit of backlash because according to the New York Times, Black women voted for Biden at 91% in comparison to 70% of the Latino vote.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eva Longoria apologized after her remarks and attempted to clarify what she was speaking of. In short, she stated,</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;I&#8217;m so sorry and sad to hear that my comments on MSNBC could be perceived as taking credit from Black women. When I said that Latinas were heroines in this election, I simply meant that they turned out in greater numbers and voted more progressively than LATINO MEN.&#8221;</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Also according to The New York Times, Latino women voted 70% for Joe Biden in comparison to Latino men at 60%.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Eva ended her message saying, &#8220;</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Together, we are unstoppable! Nothing but love and support for Black women everywhere! You deserve a standing ovation!!!!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What do you think about this, Roomies?</span></p>
