Obama campaign national co-chair and Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria appeared on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports today, supposedly as an “expert” on Latino and women voters. Longoria is both Hispanic and female. Her pitch included fairly standard Obama campaign talking points surrounding the Affordable Care Act, but when host Andrea Mitchell brought the conversation around to the recent Puerto Rican Primary, which was won by Mitt Romney, Longoria delivered a broadside against Romney.
“Of all the candidates, Mitt Romney is probably the one on the wrong side of every issue pertaining to Latinos. Education, the economy, healthcare access, he’s campaigning with — er, he’s calling the anti-immigration law from Arizona a model law for the rest of the country,” Longoria said. “He’s campaigning with the author of it. That is polarizing to Latinos. He wants to veto the DREAM Act if he was in office. That is dangerous for our community. And Obama, for me, is the only one that understands that the success and the future of America is intricately tied to the success of the Hispanic community.”
