Ana Navarro criticized Donald Trump’s accomplishment record during a segment on The View.Navarro brought up Trump’s name and segued into a point about dictatorships on the air.”Was Ana Navarro living under a rock during the Biden administration?” a White House spokesperson asks in a statement to EW.<\/p>\n
Ana Navarro<\/a> has once again drawn the ire of the White House, as representatives for Donald Trump<\/a> in Washington, D.C., have slammed The View<\/a> cohost’s recent criticisms about the president<\/a> in a new, incendiary statement to Entertainment Weekly.\n<\/p>\n After the Republican panelist alleged on the air during a wider discussion about the indictment of former FBI director James Comey that Trump hasn’t accomplished many of the things he spoke about on the campaign trail (like ending military assaults in Ukraine and Gaza) before segueing her point into one about other world “dictatorships” under people like Fidel Castro, the White House issued a statement to EW condemning Navarro’s remarks.\n<\/p>\n \u201cWas Ana Navarro living under a rock during the Biden administration? Or did she just choose not to talk about Joe Biden<\/a> censoring Americans for sharing info about COVID-19 on social media or about Biden\u2019s FBI investigating concerned parents at school board meetings,” read a statement by White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson.\n<\/p>\n Donald Trump in the Oval Office at the White House.<\/p>\n Andrew Harnik\/Getty\u00a0<\/p>\n The statement referenced Facebook head Mark Zuckerberg’s August 2024 remarks in a letter to Rep. Jim Jordan that alleged Biden’s White House \u201crepeatedly pressured\u201d Facebook to remove \u201ccertain COVID-19 content including humor and satire,” per the Associated Press<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n The White House’s statement to EW continued, claiming that, “President Trump is restoring integrity to our justice system and the indictment of Comey, by a grand jury, speaks for itself” without addressing wider controversy spurred by the Comey developments.\n<\/p>\n “Luckily for Ana, her brain-numbingly dumb takes won\u2019t embarrass her too much, because no one watches The View anyway,” Jackson’s statement finished, though The View recently announced<\/a> that its season 29 premiere registered its highest debut ratings in five years.\n<\/p>\n EW has reached out to representatives for Navarro and Biden for comment.\n<\/p>\n The White House’s remarks on Navarro follow government officials’ recent uptick in statements about media figures, after Trump publicly threatened to revoke former View cohost and staunch Trump critic Rosie O’Donnell’s citizenship<\/a> in July (which he’s unable to execute<\/a> on constitutional grounds, as O’Donnell was born in the United States).\n<\/p>\n Representatives for Trump and the White House have repeatedly spoken out against The View cohosts in recent months, with government officials taking issue with everything from Navarro slamming “Latino Trumpers” for voting for the president<\/a>, to singling out Joy Behar for supporting Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> amid his recent suspension (and reinstatement) following comments he made about the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk.\n<\/p>\n Brendan Carr, the head of the Federal Communications Commission, has also spoken out against The View, touting in an interview with Fox News earlier this year<\/a> that he believed “consequences” for the show might follow over the cohosts’ left-leaning views.\n<\/p>\n Sara Haines, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, Joy Behar, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Whoopi Goldberg for ‘The View’.<\/p>\n Jeff Lipsky\/ABC<\/p>\n Even pop star Ariana Grande elicited a response from the White House<\/a>, with representatives responding to the Wicked actress’ reposting of an Instagram note that asked Trump voters if their lives have “gotten better” and if their groceries have “gotten cheaper” under his leadership.\n<\/p>\n
