Ana Navarro: ‘It Wasn’t a Drag Queen’ or ‘an Immigrant’ Who Tried to Assassinate Trump But ‘White Whack Job with Easy Access to a Gun’

NAVARRO: “So, you know, I’m — I’m very happy Donald Trump is safe, full stop, period. And I condemn all forms of political violence. I’m simply heartbroken for the family of Corey Comperatore, a volunteer Fire chief, a father, a husband who lost his life, shielding his family simply for going to a political rally. And I was watching it live because I thought he was going to announce his VP that day. That was part of what was being said. And I immediately thought it was a shooting. And I was shocked and I was heartbroken because I fled political violence in Nicaragua. And to me, this is something that’s not supposed to happen in America, I felt the same way when I did watch in January 6th. These attacks on democracy, on America, don’t happen in this country. They happen in other places. And I’m very happy for President Biden, I’m very happy that he’s taken the opportunity to be on air now three times asking us to call on our better angels, asking us to unite, asking us to tamp down the rhetoric. I’m going to try to heed his words. Today is our day, I think and this entire time for self reflection, and a call to unity. I truly hope Donald Trump uses the platform he has to do that. And I also need to say, I hope that at some point in this country, we do have a conversation about what is happening, because we can’t just react when it is our side. What was this again? It was you know, a 20-year-old lone wolf, white whack job with easy access to a gun. And we have to have a conversation about that. Because it wasn’t a drag queen. It wasn’t an immigrant. It wasn’t a pissed off liberal woman. This is — and this keeps happening. And we need to react, not as left or right, not as Republicans or Democrats, we need to react as Americans.”
BEHAR: “All right.”
NAVARRO: “And we need to ask better.”
