Ana Navarro Immediately Spouts Partisan Talking Points About ‘White Wackjob’ Trump Shooter After Calling For Unity
The View‘s Ana Navarro embarked on a partisan tangent just moments after calling for unity and promising to modulate her tone on Monday while discussing the attempt on Donald Trump’s life over the weekend.
“So, you know, I’m very happy Donald Trump is safe. Full stop. Period. And I condemn all forms of political violence. I’m simply heartbroken for the family of Corey Compertore, a volunteer fire chief, a father, a husband who lost his life shielding his family simply for going to a political rally,” began Navarro. “And I was watching it live because I thought he was going to announce his VP that day; we were, that was part of what was being said. And I immediately thought it was a shooting and I was shocked and I was heartbroken because I fled political violence in Nicaragua. And to me, this is something that’s not supposed to happen in America. I felt the same way when I did watching January 6.”
“These attacks on democracy, on America, don’t happen in this country,” she continued. “They happen in other places. And I’m very happy for President Biden. I’m very happy that he’s taking the opportunity to be on air now three times, asking us to call on our better angels, asking us to unite, asking us to tamp down the rhetoric. I’m going to try to heed his words. Today is our day, I think, and this entire time, for self-reflection and a call to unity. I truly hope Donald Trump uses the platform he has to do that.”
But Navarro’s pledge to strike a more unifying tone didn’t last long.
“And I also need to say, I hope that at some point in this country, we do have a conversation about what is happening because we can’t just react when it is our side,” she submitted. “What was this, again? It was, you know, a 20-year-old lone wolf, white whack job with easy access to a gun. And we have to have a conversation about that because it wasn’t a drag queen. It wasn’t an immigrant. It wasn’t a pissed off liberal woman. This keeps happening. And we need to react not as left or right, not as Republicans or Democrats, we need to react as Americans. And we need to ask better.”
