Television pundit Ana Navarro is being accused of racism after she posted a tweet on Friday that included a joke considered derogatory toward Asians.

‘Me so vaccinated!’ Navarro wrote in a tweet that was deleted soon afterwards. Last week, Navarro expressed glee that Piers Morgan left his morning show Good Morning Britain after he was accused of racism for his views on Meghan Markle.

The comment was apparently an attempt at humor by using a play on words of the phrase ‘Me so horny.’

The phrase was uttered in a famous scene from the 1987 war film Full Metal Jacket.

In the scene from the Stanley Kubrick drama about the Vietnam War, a Vietnamese prostitute in Da Nang offers her services to two American GIs named Joker and Rafterman, played respectively by Matthew Modine and Kevyn Major Howard.

‘Well, baby, me so horny. Me so horny. Me love you long time,’ the Vietnamese escort tells the two American soldiers in the film.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Navarro, CNN, and ABC seeking comment.
