Mitt Romney is for ending funding to Planned Parenthood including cancer screenings -- said he'd overturn Roe vs.

Wade.

We have Republicans trying to redefine great.

Trying to force women to undergo invasive ultrasound it's.

Well that's actress Eva Longoria who joined actresses Scarlett Johansson in Kerry Washington to slam governor Romney in a new web that.

The stars encouraging women to vote for President Obama and Eva Longoria is heavily involved in that reelection effort in an official capacity.

In February she was tapped as co chair for the Obama campaign she's one of 35.

She's been active in the Obama team's women vote 2012 summit tour and with Obama for America -- Obama victory fund 2012 volunteer fundraisers.

She even had -- coveted speaking slot during the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte and it's considered an important part of the Obama campaign's outreach to Hispanics.

Which house explain why the questions are growing.

Over defensive re tweet not just one.

That she sent out.

Prompting outrage such as she's re tweeting a tweet that she receipt she's not the original offer out -- -- -- then sent it around.

It reads as follows quote I have no idea why any woman or minority can vote for Romney you have to be stupid to vote for such a racist misogynist.

T word and I'll leave it that can use your imagination -- let's just say it's too vulgar to repeat.

Joining me now actress Janine Turner has hosted its name turner show and Alan Combs -- host of the Allen cum shot so I just wanted to say that.

Then she did she sent out a little message saying.

Having problems with their -- Ha ha ha which appears to be any Anthony leader defends.

Eating here it is is -- what else -- Twitter blogging how -- There are 30 my timeline I did not re tweet today.

Moon stand by trying to fix.

Let me ask you this is you can offer your opinion whether about whether that is a blatant lie in an attempt to distance herself or something she intentionally sent out -- Well I -- now I mean I think it was very clear that the tweet without and it's unfortunate because I think it lacks class.

And you know lacks any accountability on the issues and it's a smaller and it's just.

I think the American dignity there were about this we need to get beyond this I mean for a talk about things on -- talk about the issues.

That -- to beat these.

-- slanderous hi I believe it's unfortunate.

Alan notwithstanding her original is anyone else's Twitter.

Apparently about an hour or so ago we now get this update she has this is according to -- to post.

Apologized.

For offending people with a triple -- -- writing quote I used Twitter as a platform for all Americans and their opinions.

Sorry if people were offended by re -- Obviously not my words are my personal view I respect to all Americans freedom of speech your thoughts well -- what.

-- personal view she shouldn't -- -- tweeted it and if it is -- personal view he's an opponent and I would distance myself I met.

If I were the Obama campaign I would not fat like to have someone use that language is a -- as a co chair.

And I think it's unfortunate really do need that that kind of rhetoric should have no place in our.

I campaigns I don't I think it demeans the issues well I might agree with the Eva Longoria on the issues themselves.

I certainly wouldn't want that rhetoric to be part of my presentation.

And I know what I want -- -- -- represented by somebody who use that kind of line.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I didn't mean to send that out -- all a full day's gone by -- -- mean.

And now this isn't the only one let's be honest this isn't the first time she's dumb that she sent out this other one during the vice presidential debate.

That said doubt Obama put it on the board -- -- see for yourself.

She -- -- it's what somebody -- Biden is making Paul Ryan is personal B word rhymes with witch.

-- -- Your thoughts okay.

-- Yeah it's.

There.

I think staring at it does this thing that it let it and it kind of starts at the head doesn't it.

Unfortunately you know president Obama's calling Romney a liar it's it's all and there's a lot of planning going on from the Democrats attacking that.

The conservatives and that's I think.

Because they don't have any issue way to -- -- -- and why did -- -- Romney called Obama a liar too I mean you know they this is not a one sided event -- has continued to say that Obama wasn't being truthful about the things he said going back -- -- all it's only the Democrats doing.

Can I ask you this on it and see this as you know.

It is it.

Is there some hypocrisy there mean they'll have to really -- to hold itself out is as accepting you know I mean I don't know whatever whatever whatever is -- and whether it's days or it's gay marriage or its.

You know transit or whatever it is that they aren't every time important in their loving and -- open minded every time accepting loving or open mileage.

Not and that -- and not -- the latter is suddenly the left that as hypocrisy -- -- you want it you've got the right you've got Romney embracing Donald Trump.

Who has been saying this ridiculous stupid things ever since.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I don't why doesn't take it away at least you can apologize that it doesn't take -- -- -- -- the true intentions of what's it makes one realize -- that's what she really believes and I think we've been very careful what we re tweet -- -- And -- apologizing for is it and it isn't really gonna take it away again.

Is now and Allen this progressive Latino group is demanding.

That she actually apologize they want an explicit apology I should she be more forceful.

I think she she resigned from the campaign or be asked to resign as co chair because I don't think it -- while on the campaign.

Rob what we will see we'll see whether and what that happening Twitter is fun it's great way of communicating but boy do have to be careful and I don't know I'll let I'll let the viewers decide they can tell me on Twitter whether they believe that it was an -- -- -- -- -- lead you by the way it all right Harry tweet you back.

If -- -- they -- -- questioning and -- you and you can do that but I'm yet Megyn Kelly and EGY.
