“The View” co-host Ana Navarro raged throughout a Monday evening look on NCS, condemning a fellow panelist for defending President Donald Trump from accusations of sexism.
Trump abruptly ended a tense “Meet the Press” interview with host Kristen Welker on Sunday after she repeatedly challenged his claims about election fraud, California’s vote rely and his proposed “anti-weaponization” fund, the newest instance of Trump’s frequent contentious exchanges with reporters.
“The second subject, which to me is simply as horrible and must be mentioned, is his constant berating and insulting and advert hominem attacks, particularly against women, whether or not it is Kristen – ” Navarro started throughout a panel dialogue on “NCS Newsnight.”
“Give me a break,” Trump’s 2024 marketing campaign deputy communications director Caroline Sunshine interjected.

“What do you mean, ‘Give me a break!?’” Navarro shouted. “Kristen Welker this week! Kaitlan Collins final week! The lady he referred to as ‘Piggy!’ Will you give me a break!? Have you no disgrace as a lady, that we hear him call them ugly, and piggy, and crooked, and liars, and silly, and dangerous journalists!? Have you completely no solidarity with ladies!?”
Navarro cited Trump criticizing NCS reporter Kaitlan Collins for not smiling throughout press questions with him, saying, “How dare you tell me to give you a break!? Have some shame.”
NCS host Abby Phillip then requested, “Why would the president tell a woman that she doesn’t smile enough when she’s working, asking him a question.”
‘THE VIEW’ CO-HOST PRAISES TRUMP’S MEDIA STRATEGY, ACCUSES DEMOCRATS OF USING 90s PLAYBOOK

“Because he’s an equal opportunity offender,” Sunshine mentioned. “Let me explain how the game works, because Kaitlan got something out of that exchange, too. The president gets a lot out of having combative exchanges with journalists. His base loves it. His poll numbers — that’s why I said he should do two to three more of these a week — his poll numbers go up.”
“But Kaitlan’s getting something out of it, too,” she continued. “So many journalists have made their careers in this country off of being combative with President Trump, Kaitlan Collins included, Jim Acosta, many former people. It is all part of the game. It is all part of the theater.”
After Sunshine objected to fellow panelists treating it as a “woman problem,” Navarro blasted her once more.
“The guy needs to grow up,” she mentioned. “He’s the president of the United States. He needs to grow up.”

In response to Navarro, White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson instructed Fox News Digital, “President Trump has never been politically correct, never holds back, and in large part, the American people re-elected him for his transparency. This has nothing to do with gender — it has everything to do with the fact that the President’s and the public’s trust in the media is at all-time lows.”
