Though she’s a staunch critic of former PresidentDonald Trump, frequentViewguest hostAna Navarrosays she has no plans to abandon the Republican party.
In audio of an interview withABC News' Jonathan Karlfor his bookBetrayal: The Final Act of the Trump Show, Trump can be heard saying “I thought he was well protected, and I heard that he was in good shape.”
When asked about the chants from some rioters of “Hang Mike Pence,” Trump responded: “Well, the people were very angry. It’s common sense. It’s common sense that you’re supposed to protect. How can you — if you know a vote is fraudulent, right? How can you pass a fraudulent vote to Congress?”
“It drives me crazy to hear members of the Republican party, ofmyparty say we have to move on,” Navarro said. “No, we’re not moving on until we find out everything that happened!”
Navarro continued: “I like the idea that I can be inside the tent and calling out the people who are unprincipled and who have sold out their values. I’m not going anywhere. Like it or not.”
Navarro’s criticism of the former president has led to recent back-and-forths between the conservative commentator and his son,Donald Trump Jr., who made a public dig about her weight after afalse positiveCOVID-19 diagnosis.
Hours after Navarro received her false positive, Don Jr. tweeted: “Given the Ana Navarro news, I think it’s time for a national conversation about the dangers of Covid-19 & obesity.”
On a September episode ofThe View, Navarro suggested it was hypocritical of the president’s son to criticize her considering is also overweight. (President Trump’slast physicalwhile in the White House showed him at 244 lbs. and 6-foot-3-inches.)
“Apparently, he thought it was appropriate to take advantage of the false news that I had COVID to take a shot at my weight,” Navarro said on Monday. “Babe, I take a shot at my weight every day, okay? Unlike you, I have a mirror, and I know I have a weight issue.”
Fellow panelist Joy Behar, no fan of the Trumps, concurred with Navarro. Behar said that those with “nothing to say” are the ones who stoop to attacking others for their looks.
“He’s such a loser, say God forbid, it’s pathetic, Donald Jr. is the biggest loser in this country besides his father and his family,” Behar said.
