"Controversy Surrounds Biden's 'Flamin' Hot' Screening with Eva Longoria"

President Joe Biden hugged actress Eva Longoria a little too long at a White House film screening of her directorial debut, "Flamin' Hot," prompting some criticism on social media. Biden had joked about the age gap between him and Longoria when they first met, saying "She was 17, I was 40," but their birthdates show that Longoria would have been 7 years old when the president was 40. The film tells the story of Richard Montanez, a Mexican-American janitor who worked for Frito-Lay, but the company has disputed many of the claims Montanez has made. The White House defended its screening of the film, saying it was meant to give Americans from different backgrounds a chance to see themselves reflected in film and celebrated by the president.
