Eva Longoria Blasts Newt Gingrich For Attack On Poor Children

Actress Eva Longoria is pushing back on presidential candidate Newt Gingrich’s recent attacks on the work habits of poor children. Gingrich recently claimed that “poor children” have no work habits unless it’s “illegal.”

Writing on her Twitter account, Longoria told Gingrich, “You clearly know little about the Latina community, Latina entrepreneurs who start businesses at 6 times the national average.” According to the National Poverty Center, rates of poverty for latino children are 13% above the national average.
