The White House has again taken aim at The View<\/a> cohost Ana Navarro<\/a>, after the Republican panelist criticized the Donald Trump<\/a> administration\u2019s Latino supporters amid ongoing ICE raids and deportations.<\/p>\n

When reached for comment Wednesday on the 53-year-old\u2019s recent Instagram posts<\/a> criticizing \u201cLatino Trumpers,\u201d a White House spokesperson in turn slams Navarro\u2019s comments in a statement o Entertainment Weekly.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust when you think Ana Navarro can\u2019t get any dumber, she proves you wrong,\u201d the statement, from White House representative Abigail Jackson, begins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jackson continues, claiming that \u201cDemocrat party approval is at record lows because, instead of accepting that their party is wrong and out of touch with Americans of all backgrounds, they have surrogates like Ana attacking anyone who dares disagree with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement finishes by encouraging Navarro to \u201cKeep it up, Ana!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

EW has reached out to a representative for Navarro at The View for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier, Navarro, who is Nicaraguan, shared a series of Instagram Stories slamming Latinos voting for the current presidential administration amid ICE deportations and raids.\n<\/p>\n

“Latino Trumpers, is [this] the s— you all voted for? So your tias & abuelas can be spied on?” Navarro asked in an Instagram Story over a screenshot of a CBS News post<\/a> reading, “Trump administration is reinstating a long-dormant practice of conducting ‘neighborhood checks’ to vet immigrants applying for U.S. citizenship.”\n<\/p>\n

“Where are all them Christians at?” the political commentator asked in another post over a message from New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who released an Aug. 18 statement<\/a> on the reported ICE detention of a 7-year-old girl in the state.\n<\/p>\n

“If a seven-year-old is who President Trump considers the ‘worst of the worst,’ then the promise was a lie from the start,” Hochul wrote in her statement that Navarro reposted.<\/p>\n

Despite her own political affiliation, Navarro has been a longtime critic of Trump and his administration, and has drawn the ire of the White House before.\n<\/p>\n

On a July episode of The View, Navarro voiced her staunch opposition<\/a> to “horrible human” beings treating Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” migrant detention centers as tourist destinations. The White House provided EW with a similar statement at the time.<\/p>\n

Navarro’s latest criticism comes amid\u00a0The View\u00a0receiving pushback from government figures, with FCC chair Brendan Carr telling\u00a0Fox News<\/a>\u00a0earlier this summer that he thinks there could be “consequences” for the talk show if the hosts don’t check their alleged liberal bias. Likewise, former cohost Rosie O’Donnell predicted The View might get canceled<\/a> over growing political pressure.\n<\/p>\n

The View\u00a0returns for a new season Monday, Sept. 8 at 11 a.m. ET\/10 a.m. PT on\u00a0ABC<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
