However, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anti-trumper-adam-kinzinger-and-his-bill-gates-connection\/\" title=\"Anti-Trumper Adam Kinzinger and His Bill Gates Connection\">investigative piece<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/business\/story\/2021-05-16\/flamin-hot-cheetos-richard-montanez\">Los Angeles Times<\/a> dated May 16, 2021, has since disputed Montanez\u2019s story. There was no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/chinese-defense-university-conceals-partnerships-with-u-s-schools\/\" title=\"Chinese Defense University Conceals Partnerships With U.S. Schools\">public mention<\/a> of that, however, by either Biden, his wife First Lady Jill Biden who also attended, or Longoria during Thursday\u2019s event on the White House south lawn.<\/p>\n<p>What did make headlines in several online publications was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QzIWLUvQYJ0\">video<\/a> showing Biden putting his hands on Longoria before the actress pulled his hands away. In the clip that has since gone viral, Biden is seen sharing a hug with Longoria with his hands appearing to come close to the actress\u2019s breast at the end of the embrace.<\/p>\n<h2>Frito-Lay Disputes Montanez\u2019s Story<\/h2>\n<p>According to the Times story, Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos was actually created by a team at the Frito-Lay headquarters in Plano, Texas, as a snack product meant to rival other such food items in the Midwest. The story included testimonies from former Frito-Lay employees as well as reports from the company\u2019s own 2018 internal investigation over the matter.<\/p>\n<p>The company, which is the current subsidiary of PepsiCo, also warned the movie\u2019s filmmakers that it couldn\u2019t corroborate Montanez\u2019s version of events before production began on the film. That\u2019s despite the movie featuring a title card at its ending asserting that it\u2019s based on a &#8220;true story.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, with hundreds of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-embrace-of-flamin-hot-director-eva-longoria-usurps-film-screening\/\" title=\"Biden's endorsement of 'Flamin' Hot' director Eva Longoria steals film spotlight.\">people present including members<\/a> of the cast, members of Congress and leaders of the Latino community, a mariachi band played on the Blue Room balcony prior to the screening. That\u2019s as Biden told the crowd it was the first White House screening of a film focused on Hispanic characters.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I think about tonight\u2019s movie, I think about courage. So many of you, your ancestors left behind all that they knew to start a new life in the United States,&#8221; said Biden, who announced in April that he is running for a second presidential term and that Hispanic Americans are a core part of the Democratic Party base.<\/p>\n<p>Jill Biden said Montanez helped to change the way companies see Latino customers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This film isn\u2019t just about Richard,&#8221; said Mrs. Biden. &#8220;It\u2019s about everyone who has been overlooked or underestimated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Longoria&#8217;s Impact<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden on Thursday hosted a White House screening of actress Eva Longoria\u2019s new film about the invention of Flamin\u2019 Hot Cheetos, describing it as \u201cexactly what the Hispanic American community embodies.\u201d Longoria directed the film with the same name as the famous snack product, which is based on the story of Frito-Lay janitor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2128,"featured_media":1949729,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[543],"tags":[3706,6350,11020,25353,5336,28798,7354,27530,9672,18892],"class_list":["post-1949728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-epoch-times","tag-bidens","tag-director","tag-embrace","tag-eva","tag-film","tag-flamin","tag-hot","tag-longoria","tag-screening","tag-usurps"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1949728","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2128"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1949728"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1949728\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1949729"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1949728"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1949728"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1949728"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
