‘The View’s Ana Navarro Says Political Violence Is “Very Much A Part Of” America Following Second Assassination Attempt On Trump

The View isn’t exactly the most Donald Trump-friendly program on TV these days, but co-host Ana Navarro truly tore into the former president on this morning’s show when she called him a racist countless times during an impassioned tirade against him.

While Navarro has had plenty of excuses to bash Trump on past shows, her comments today were brought on by a discussion about right wing conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, the woman who is suddenly everywhere Trump has been during his campaign.

Although Trump isn’t an uncontroversial figure himself, Loomer apparently has even his allies “alarmed” because her influence could mean he is “moving deeper into a world of conspiracies and racism,” per Axios.

Navarro told The View panel that Loomer’s proximity to Trump is no surprise, though.

“She may not be officially working for the campaign, but make no mistake: This woman is a racist, and she has access to Donald Trump,” she said. “And the reason he’s got racists around him is because Donald Trump is a racist, OK? If you are not a racist, you do not surround yourself with them.

“He was a racist when he discriminated against African Americans in the ’70s in his buildings in New York,” Navarro continued. “He was a racist when he took out a full-page ad against the Central Park Five, now Exonerated Five. He was a racist when he called Mexicans rapists and criminals, and he is a racist traveling with another racist now.”

Navarro also explained that Loomer’s presence and proximity to the Trump campaign is no coincidence.

“This woman, Laura Looney [laughter] is, she’s traveling on campaign plane. I’ve been on campaign planes,” she said. “They don’t just pluck any stranger off the street and put them on a campaign plane … the people who travel with the principle are people who have access, are people who have influence, are people who are part of the inner circle, are people who spend time and talk to them, are people who they want on that plane.”

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
