BREAKING: Political commentator Ana Navarro takes a break from her vacation to incinerate MAGA First Lady Melania Trump with an epic rant about the “performative hypocrisy” of the letter she wrote to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
This former Republican strategist didn’t hold back…
“You all, this falls under the category of stuff that’s so hypocritical you almost can’t believe it. I don’t know if you all heard this, but in the Trump-Putin meeting, Trump delivered a letter to Putin written by his wife Melania, First Lady Melania Trump,” Navarro said in a video posted to Instagram. She’s currently in Greece during The View’s pre-Labor Day hiatus.
“And I’m going to read some of it to you because I think we should think about this, okay?” she continued. “So she writes in this letter, part of it: ‘As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few. Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity filled world for all so that every soul may wake to peace and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded. A simple yet profound concept Mr. Putin as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity and innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.”
Ignoring the painfully inept prose of Melania’s letter and the clumsy fumbling for poetic sounding phrases, it has to be pointed out deeply naive this letter was. Putin is a brutal, murderous dictator who has been waging a bloody war of territorial expansion for years now. The idea that he might be swayed by a poorly written letter by a First Lady with no diplomatic experience and no meaningful accomplishments is laughable. This was clearly an attempt by Melania to nab headlines and make herself feel important.
“All right. Now let’s think about those words,” said Navarro. “A right to innocence and purity that stands about government, geography and ideology. And think about what her husband, what Donald Trump is doing to the children of immigrants in America and to U.S. citizen children of immigrants.”
“How many of those children are living with the fear of their parents being dragged through the streets of America, their car windows smashed in, their parents beaten by masked men, and disappeared?” asked Navarro.
“How about the children in the LA school system that have been grabbed by ICE?” she went on. “How about the boy, the Brazilian boy in Massachusetts who was going to soccer practice when he was grabbed by ICE? How about the little girl with cancer, U.S. citizen little girl with cancer, who’s parents were deported and she had to leave, putting in jeopardy her cancer treatment?”
“How about all of the children in America — forget the children of immigrants even though that in itself sticks in my craw — but the children in America who are being denied SNAP benefits?” she asked. “How about the children all over the world who are not receiving U.S. aid because her husband’s government decided that we shouldn’t be feeding starving children all over the world? How about all of those kids?”
“So, yeah, it strikes me as ridiculously hypocritical that Melania Trump is telling Putin to preserve the innocence and purity of Ukrainian children,” said Navarro. “Yay for her! That’s a good thing. But you know maybe she should turn around and say the exact same thing to her husband because there are children in America crying, suffering, going to bed in fear, returning to homes that are abandoned and empty, not knowing where their next meal is coming from because of what her husband is doing.”
“I say to Melania, start a little closer to home girl,” she concluded.
Navarro voiced similar sentiments in the Instagram caption for the video—
“I just can’t with the performative hypocrisy from these people,” she wrote. “Trump and his minions have literally destroyed US aid that could feed starving children, instead of distributing it. They are destroying and separating families. They are taking the safety nets away from poor American children and giving tax-breaks to the ultra wealthy.”
“So when Melania says ‘all’ children deserve dignity and purity and innocence…please spare me,” she added. “I’m not sure how much she -or anybody- can influence Putin. But she sure as hell stands a better chance of influencing Trump.”
Incredibly well said. We could not agree more.
