EVA LONGORIA: Actress Gets Schooled On How Americans Feel About Speaking English
Eva Longoria is getting some backlash after some comments that she made about “monolingualism” on, none other than, MSNBC. Check it out…
For an American citizen — even a drop-dead gorgeous American citizen who spends most of her time in the warped world of Hollywood — Eva Longeria doesn’t know much about her own country.
She proved it in an interview broadcast Thursday on MSNBC — where else? — with Jose Diaz Balart promoting Friday’s American Latino Media Arts awards.
“We’re the only country in the world that promotes monolingualism,” Longoria said, with charming passion but without out a shred of evidence.
…
The former “Desperate Housewives” star has millions of fans, and the kind of looks that can cover a multitude of sins.
But this was too much for Twitter users. And Longoria’s predictably lefty politics didn’t help her case much.
@PoliticaILine We don't have an official language, unlike half of the world's countries. @CalebHowe @EvaLongoria
