Actress Eva Longoria has apologized (sort of) for sending a retweet
following Tuesday night's debate between President Obama and Mitt Romney
which read, "I have no idea why any woman/minority can vote for Romney. You
have to be stupid to vote for such a racist/misogynistic tw*t."
At first, Longoria denied sending out the retweet stating, "Is anyone else's
twitter bugging out? There are things in my timeline I didn't retweet today
. Hmmm? Standby trying to fix!" But then Longoria issued the standard "I
apologize if I offended anyone" statement.
Now one might say, well, who cares? She's just another Hollywood liberal.
But Longoria happens to be one of the National Co-Chairs of President Obama'
s re-election campaign.
Let's be clear. If one of Romney's co-chairs had said something untoward
about President Obama do you think the Obama campaign would accept an
apology? Hell no. They would demand (and receive) a resignation.
Ms. Longoria retweeted a vile statement about Romney and then lied about
retweeting it. Is President Obama OK with that? I suspect that he is. In
which case, it says a great deal about his character.
If Ms. Longoria has an ounce of decency she should resign from the Obama
campaign. If not, pressure ought to be brought to bear. |
