Ana Navarro told her co-hosts Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that President Donald Trump “should be in a padded room.” Navarro said, “Look, you know, if they’re saying that this was all strategic, then he is a sadist because what kind of government leader puts his people through this kind of distress and sadness and anxiety for a week just for giggles? His supporters always say that he plays fourth-dimensional chess. I think he should be in a padded room playing with his own drool.” She continued, “The things he does are just simply lunacy, and we’re not out of...

Sara Haines, co-host of The View, has warned that the Democratic Party’s unhinged screaming and volatile behavior at rallies is not fixing the country and is making things worse for them. Whoopi Goldberg noted that progressive leaders like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., are engaging at rallies “at a moment when leadership roles on the left are wide open.” Goldberg also recalled how Sanders showed in his recent interview that he was “not ready to talk about future party planning yet.” Sanders recently accused ABC “This Week” host Jonathan Karl of asking a “nonsense” question about...

“The View” co-host Ana Navarro blamed voters who supported President Donald Trump in the 2024 election for the mass deportations currently underway across the U.S. ... Specifically, she mentioned being “furious” with “Venezuelans and Cubans in Miami.” Navarro started off the podcast by acknowledging that she isn’t particularly upset with Trump for the mass deportations he authorized, but rather the voters who put him in office. “The people I’m furious at are the people who, knowing who he is, because it’s not like we’re learning this, who, knowing exactly who he is, voted for him because of the price of...

2024's Flaming Feculence Awards go to Charles P. Pierce and Ana Navarro-Cárdenas.Today’s post is not about politics but, rather, about contemporary journalism’s compulsion to besoil itself in the service of politics. The excess and carelessness engendered by political servility plopped squarely this week upon the heads of Charles P. Pierce (Esquire magazine) and Ana Navarro-Cárdenas (ABC’s The View). Both sought to justify Joe Biden’s sweeping pardon of Hunter Biden by pointing to peculiar antecedents. Pierce cited George H. W. Bush’s pardon of his son Neil, and Navarro-Cárdenas cited Woodrow Wilson’s pardon of his brother-in-law Hunter deButts. Their examples were peculiar...

Vance, all these opportunities to clean up his childless cat lady comment, and he hasn’t been able to,” Navarro said. “Like, he ended up apologizing to the cats instead of to the ladies!”

The discussion started with Joy Behar worrying that any mention of Biden's now-convicted felon son would be a "trigger point" and...

The freak-out is real. Never Trump Republicans and their fellow travelers on the left cannot accept the trend that former President Trump is gaining support among Latino voters. The worst critics are the strategists and pundits who once made a living off the Republican Party. Trump effectively made them irrelevant in 2016. Professional traditional Republicans held no sway with Trump. He went his own way. For advisers like Ana Navarro, the gravy train was over. She, like others, switched sides and threw in with Democrats to remain relevant in some circles. Grifters are gonna grift. Navarro was a longtime adviser...

Here’s the bottom line Joe Biden is going to be your nominee. Stop talking about how old he is, and Kamala Harris is going to be your vice president. Stop fretting.

Navarro, a Florida resident, blasted DeSantis for using her taxpayer money "as a political stunt to schlep immigrants who are fleeing a communist regime," as she did when her family left Nicaragua in 1980.
