Ana Navarro is slamming politicians for failing to acknowledge how pertinent political violence is in America following a second assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.
The Republican nominee was reportedly playing golf in Florida when his Secret Service agents spotted a man with an AK-47 about 500 yards away. When they fired shots, the man fled the scene and was later apprehended.
“We kept hearing yesterday and I kept reading yesterday, elected officials on both sides of the aisle tweet out, ‘In America, there is no space for political violence,’” Navarro said on this morning’s episode of The View. “We condemn political violence. We condemn it no matter who it’s perpetrated on or attempted on.”
However, Navarro noted that this sort of political violence happens way more often than anyone cares to admit.
“What America do these folks live in that they think there’s no space for political violence when Gabby Giffords, the congresswoman from Arizona, got shot in the head at an event in her district, when the congressional baseball team got shot at, when Nancy Pelosi’s husband got his skull bashed in with a hammer from a political enemy, when we had Jan. 6 when people raided and stormed the Capitol?” she said.
“We’ve had now two different attempts on Donald Trump,” Navarro continued. “This is the America that we live in and political violence is very much a part of it.
Navarro went on to list other recent happenings she would consider political violence.
“Bomb threats in Springfield, I consider that political violence,” she said, referring to the aftermath of false claims made against the town’s Haitian community. “Threats against Taylor Swift because she made an endorsement [for Kamala Harris], which we all have a right to do, I consider that political violence.”

The co-host concluded her rant by calling on politicians to address “people with mental health issues” who “keep getting easy access to assault weapons,” noting that there needs to be “bipartisan” measures to keep the country safe.
