- The View cohost Ana Navarro called out her own outfit on the air.
- “I know it’s a little bit weird,” Navarro said as she was “dressed like Fidel Castro.”
- The cohost brought up the topic of dictators during a discussion about Donald Trump.
Though she wasn’t sporting a phallic flower or wearing her shirt backward like some of her cohosts have done in the past, The View star Ana Navarro still called herself out live on the air for dressing like a dictator while discussing the dangers of dictators.
As the panel discussed former FBI director James Comey’s indictment Monday morning, Navarro temporarily shifted focus to fashion at the Hot Topics table, and turned the heat up on herself in the process.
“Donald Trump promised a bunch of things. He promised he’d end wars on day one. Ukraine and Gaza are still raging,” Navarro said, before speculating that “Trump hates [Comey] very personally and specifically, even though I think he should send the guy a fruit basket because many people think he helped Trump win in 2016 with the announcement he made about Hillary Clinton” just before Americans headed to the polls that year.

Navarro connected Comey’s indictment to “silencing us through fear” and “stifling the opposition.”
She then brought up “dictatorships,” and said, “I know it’s a little bit weird for me to say that as I’m sitting here dressed like Fidel Castro, that’s how dictatorships work. They start by silencing people with big platforms, but then they get to regular Americans.”
At the Hot Topics table, the 53-year-old wore a military-inspired green jacket with straps and brass buttons that, in her estimation, recalled outfits worn by Cuba’s controversial former leader, who died in 2016.
The Republican panelist urged Americans that “in this country, our weapon and our voice is our vote. If we want guardrails any time during this Trump administration — that gets worse by the day — we need to elect a Democratic House and Senate next year and hope that they provide those guardrails, because we’re going down a very slippery slope and it’s getting worse by the minute.”
Navarro’s recent government criticisms have drawn heated responses from the White House, particularly after she slammed “Latino Trumpers” for supporting the current administration amid controversial holding areas for immigrants such as Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz detention center.

“Just when you think Ana Navarro can’t get any dumber, she proves you wrong,” White House representative Abigail Jackson said in a previous a statement to EW.

Jackson continued, claiming that “Democrat 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.”
