On Friday, ABC’s “The View” co-host Ana Navarro gave an extremely weak call for Americans to “stand up” against President Donald Trump and his “cruel” deportations of violent criminals. Apparently she thought she was going to really rally the troops with this one.
Navarro declared, “I’m glad and grateful we’re talking about this because America cannot get numb to the cruelty being inflicted on the Latino community, specifically by the Trump administration. Look, in my view, these people, mostly men, the ones they sent to El Salvador, are props as part of Donald Trump’s sick, cruel charade.”
She continued, “He built this narrative that there was this gang that was overtaking America and that he was going to send hardened criminals and rapists, monsters to this out of the country, get rid of them. The problem is that finding them and identifying them is not that easy. So then they’re picking up, I mean, understand this, they are disappearing people. Some of these wives and loved ones are finding out that their husbands, that their brothers are in this jail because they happened to see a video that was put out by the government of El Salvador.”
Navarro continued, “Can you imagine the grief, the distress, the sadness, the anxiety of a loved one not knowing where your relative is because they’ve been picked up off the street while they’re with the deaf, autistic, 5-year-old U.S. citizen son or because they are disappeared from an ICE appointment? What kind of country is this?”
She added, “America, we cannot let this continue. You have got to stand up. You have got to call your congresspeople.”
