President Joe Biden is facing criticism on social media after making a joke about Eva Longoria’s age while hosting her at the White House on Thursday.
Biden, 80, welcomed 48-year-old actress Longoria on the South Lawn for a film screening of the former Desperate Housewives star’s directorial debut, Flamin’ Hot.
As he spoke with the crowd gathered outside the executive mansion, the president said of Longoria: “We’ve known each other a long time. She was 17, I was 40.”
