Far-Left ‘The View’ Descends Into CHAOS After Ana Navarro Defends Trump on Venezuela — Sunny Hostin MELTSDOWN On-Air
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 10, 2026 | Jim Hoft

The far-left ladies of The View suffered yet another on-air meltdown this week after longtime anti-Trump commentator Ana Navarro dared to break ranks and inject reality into a discussion about U.S. policy toward Venezuela, triggering a full-blown freakout from co-host Sunny Hostin and snide interjections from Joy Behar.

As President Trump’s Operation Absolute Resolve continues to secure freedom for the Venezuelan people and protect American interests, the legal “experts” on the Left are mourning the loss of a Marxist regime.

The segment, which was supposed to be another routine Trump-bashing session, quickly spiraled out of control when Navarro refused to equate U.S. actions in Venezuela with hypothetical scenarios involving Greenland.

Sunny Hostin kicked off the hysteria by accusing the United States of “kidnapping” Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and “taking the oil,” suggesting the money would be hidden away in offshore accounts.

“We took the president—Maduro. I’ve called it a kidnapping because I believe that’s what it is. We take the head of state of Nicaragua—no, not Nicaragua, I’m sorry. Venezuela. Then take the oil, and are going to put the money—I think we’re going to put the money—in offshore accounts. How is that okay, but Greenland isn’t?” said Hostin.

Even staunch Trump hater Ana Navarro couldn’t stomach Hostin’s defense of a mass murderer.

Navarro, whose family fled the communist Sandinista regime in Nicaragua, delivered a rare “truth bomb” to the panel that they didn’t want to hear, reminding the audience that Maduro’s Venezuela is a place where they “kill, jail, and torture the opposition.”

“Let’s look at some facts. Venezuela is a dictatorship. Greenland is not. Denmark is our ally. Greenland is our ally. We have military bases and operations in Greenland. Denmark is part of NATO, as we are, so we are part of one big alliance. Venezuela is a place where they kill, jail, and torture the opposition—where they repress human rights,” Navarro said.

Joy Behar desperately trying to pivot to Russia and North Korea, while Hostin continued to insist that “the law is the law” apparently believing that international law should protect narco-terrorist dictators over the safety of the Western Hemisphere.

The meltdown hit its peak when Navarro tried to qualify Trump’s Venezuela operation, saying she could only call the mission successful “until every single political prisoner is released, there are free and fair elections, there are no foreign hostages, and there is democracy and freedom.”

That was apparently too much for Sunny Hostin, who sounds more like a spokesperson for the Maduro regime.

We served a warrant and arrested a guy who had been indicted in NY state.
Hostin: “That’s kidnapping.”

He was a drug dealer and a terrorist. He will face a trial now.
Hostin: “You can’t do that. The law is the law. You can’t just arrest someone for drug dealing and terrorism.”

That episode alone will cause the dems to bleed whatever latino votes they have.

Maduro didn’t just cause problems in the US but also Peru with millions of Venezuelans (Peru is not use to such immigration), Colombia (most disagree with their President), Bolivia, Argentina, Dominican Republic...etc.

Maybe they should install a mud-wrestling pit on the set and let the ladies go at each other. I might watch their show if I could see that.

Arrests by Republicans: “Kidnapping!”

Arrests by Democrats: “Defending Democracy!”

When Trump does something the commies always have to say the opposite. Maduro had a warrant out for his arrest, all they did was go and get him..meanwhile Obama had Khadaffi killed and the commies were like “WOW SUPER AWESOME THANKS SAINT BARACK”

Does this mean they are mentally deranged TDS afflicted, out of control monsters?

I sensed that, somehow, long ago.

Maduro was under indictment, and there was a valid arrest warrant for him issued by a court. The seizure was legal, and even if it wasn’t, Supreme Court precedent says he can still be prosecuted.
