Ana Navarro criticized lawmakers visiting Mar-a-Lago, likening it to a pilgrimage, while co-hosts discussed the implications of such meetings.
The discussion came up when they talked about Senator John Fetterman’s meeting with Trump. After their chat, Trump called Fetterman “fascinating” and said he was “impressed.”
Navarro expressed her concerns about the optics of Fetterman’s visit, suggesting it felt like Trump’s “little palace.” She noted that it used to be normal for politicians to meet across party lines, but Trump changed that dynamic.
Sunny Hostin, another co-host, echoed Navarro’s sentiments, saying she didn’t like the idea of “kissing the ring” at Mar-a-Lago. She pointed out that Trump should have been in Washington transitioning with his team instead of holding court in Florida.
Despite their concerns, both Navarro and Hostin praised Fetterman for his political judgment, agreeing that meeting with Trump was a smart move. Navarro emphasized the importance of holding Trump accountable, even while engaging with him.
The co-hosts also expressed frustration over other media figures meeting Trump at Mar-a-Lago, suggesting it looked like they were bending the knee.
Fetterman has shown a willingness to engage with Trump’s cabinet nominees, stating that it’s his responsibility as a senator to have those conversations. He believes that open dialogue is essential for informed decision-making.
