CNN Panel Erupts in Controversy as Ana Navarro from ‘The View’ Engages in Heated Exchange

For CNN, this instance was an 11 on the Nutso Scale. The incident involved Ana Navarro, a contributor from “The View,” known for her extreme anti-establishment views. She spreads hate and division as if she were a performer at a circus, breathing fire with every word she utters.

Watch as woke meets woke in an epically disastrous segment:

There was a significant moment during a CNN segment where Ana Navarro had a complete outburst, leading Abby Phillip to abruptly cut to a commercial break. It was a spectacle that caught many by surprise. An individual on Twitter even remarked that those who enter the country illegally should be sent back to their home countries, igniting the already tense situation even further.

Our sister site Townhall sums up their tweet:

HOLY MOLY: Ana Navarro’s complete meltdown on CNN just caused Abby Phillip to cut to commercial.

@MrShermichael: “If you come to this country illegally, you are going HOME!”

Ana Navarro: “There’s a hell of a lot of people who other than the black people who were brought here as slaves, who came to this country illegally.”

WHAT?!

@MrShermichael: “They are NOT the same as black people who were brought here against our will!”

This is when she started choking up — almost as if she was about to cry.

Ana Navarro: “That’s exactly what I just said!”

@MrShermichael: “Last time I checked, I’m black. You’re not.”

Ana Navarro: “I’m Latino and my people are being racially profiled!”

Things escalated quickly when Navarro retorted with, “Last time I checked, I’m black. You’re not.” Tensions were high, and the atmosphere was intense. What stands out the most in this exchange is Abby Phillip’s expression as she has no choice but to interrupt and switch to a commercial break. It’s reminiscent of the classic Southwest Airlines commercials that humorously suggest, “Need a quick getaway?”
