Ana Navarro isn’t having it with some Democrats’ responses to President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance last week.
“The View” co-host and CNN commentator took to Instagram on Wednesday to weigh in on pundits, donors, ex-Democratic officials and “anonymous sources” who have signaled that it’s time for the president to withdraw from the race.
“You want Joe Biden to step down? That’s fair. But you know what? The guy has served our country his entire lifetime since he was like 28 years old,” Navarro said.
She continued, “So I think he’s earned the right to a little respect. You want him to step down? Why don’t you call the fucking White House? Why don’t you call the campaign? Why don’t you call the DNC?”
“The View” co-host’s comments arrive in a week of post-debate panic among Democrats.
Biden, in a call with Democratic governors on Wednesday, declared that “no one’s pushing” him out as he pledged to continue on with his campaign.
Navarro, a Republican and staunch Trump critic, previously described Biden’s debate performance as “worrisome” but vowed to not give up on the president until he declares that he’s “giving up” on his reelection bid.
She took to social media on Wednesday to blast pundits for hitting TV programs to criticize Biden in a move she likened to playing out a “telenovela in public.”
“And, in the meantime, Republicans are loving every minute, laughing as Democrats eat their own and go through a circular firing squad,” said Navarro, who wrote on X that she’d back an “inanimate object” over Trump in November.
She added that people are discussing Biden’s mental acuity while not talking about whether former President Donald Trump is “morally fit to serve.”
“Because it’s not an if, the answer is no,” she said. “But Democrats, instead of giving this president a little respect, they go straight to the media to be divas … I’m disgusted.”
