Co-host Ana Navarro faced criticism for making a false assertion that there was footage of GOP Rep Toy Nehls pointing a gun at January 6th protesters. Yet, Navarro didn't stop at that misstep; she also inaccurately claimed that Trump was the instigator of the so-called insurrection.
In the aftermath, the hosts were compelled to issue a correction due to the misleading nature of the claims made during that episode.
From Slay News:
She was commenting on footage released by NBC News showing Nehls confronting Jan. 6 protesters.
In the video, a law enforcement officer is seen pointing a gun directly at a protester.
However, Navarro falsely told viewers that Nehls was holding the gun.
She continued by falsely claiming that President Donald Trump “was the cause for that insurrection.”
Navarro concluded her anti-Trump tirade by declaring that her false claims are justification for the Democrats preventing the 45th president from “getting nowhere near the White House ever again.”
“That’s in the well of the House,” Navarro started.
“That is a Republican congressman holding a gun to the insurrectionists who were about to break in, who were coming for them,” she falsely said.
“How those Republicans can then go and endorse and support and campaign for Donald Trump, who was the cause for that insurrection, who incited it and promoted [it].
“How they can live with themselves, how they can pretend it was tourists touring the Capitol.
“How they can go around, [like] Elise Stefanik echo[ing] Trump’s words calling them hostages.”
“How dare he play with that word? How dare they try to whitewash history?
“And look, maybe it doesn’t work for everybody, but for me, today, I’m a single issue voter and my single issue is democracy and Trump losing,” she continued.
“I can disagree with Joe Biden on policy, I have one issue I care about … Donald Trump getting nowhere near the White House ever again.”
This truly underscores the liberals' desperation to continually manipulate the narrative in their favor. Whether it involves a blatant falsehood or not, if it serves the purpose of keeping Trump away from the White House, they see it as entirely justified.
