This is supposedly because all five of the co-hosts, including; Sunny Hostin, Whoopi Goldberg, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, Joy Behar, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, are all on hiatus at the current moment.

Republicans...

"We’ve seen it over and over, democRATs can threaten any of us and get away with it no matter how violent the threat. Apparently RINOs (republican IN NAME ONLY) can do the same and you can blame Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) for this one, as he follows the Nanny-state Nicaraguan (AKA Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro) so that is how she ended up on our feed. Ana is not alone as these other ‘celebrities’ have all, at some point, threatened President Donald Trump and gotten away with it: ..."

Using Her Logic She Should Have Never Been Born...Ana Navarro, a pseudo “GOP strategist” and a CNN commentator shocked the news channel’s audiences on Friday when she said that she supports abortion to kill off autistic and mentally challenged people like her own family. In other words, she supports eugenics.Navarro’s words sounded like those of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood.

In Sanger’s case, improving the gene pool meant keeping African-Americans, morons, those with a family background...
