Variety reports:
Eva Longoria appears in a video from the Democratic National Committee that posted on Friday in which she takes issue with Mike Pence’s “Mexican thing” comment from the vice presidential debate.
“Governor Pence — we are not a thing,” she says in the video. “We are proud American citizens. We are mothers and fathers working for a better future for our kids. And we are children studying hard and dreaming of giving back to the United States that we love.”
After the debate, Democrats seized on Pence’s “Mexican thing” comment, with Hillary Clinton’s campaign even acquired ThatMexicanThing.com as a domain name. It directs to her campaign website. #ThatMexicanThing also became a trending hashtag on Twitter.
“#Thatmexicanthing is going to decide who’s going to be the next President. No one can make it to the WH without the Latino vote. You’ll see,” Fusion anchor Jorge Ramos wrote on Twitter on Wednesday.
