White House slams 'The View' host Ana Navarro over 'Alligator Alcatraz' remarks: 'Can't get any dumber'

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump’s White House just fired back at Ana Navarro in a scorched-earth statement after she went off on the Friday, July 11 show, slamming visitors to Florida’s new "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention center as “racist” and “horrible human beings.”

Navarro slammed those treating the controversial facility like a roadside attraction, and now the White House is clapping back hard. 

White House responds sharply after Ana Navarro criticizes 'Alligator Alcatraz'

Shortly after Ana Navarro’s segment aired, Entertainment Weekly reached out to the White House for comment.

In response, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson unloaded on Navarro in a statement that went straight for the jugular. “Every time you think Ana Navaro [sic] can’t get any dumber, she proves you wrong,” Jackson said. 

“The real ‘horrible human beings’ are the violent illegal criminals being held at Alligator Alcatraz, including murderers like an illegal alien who slit the throat of an elderly woman in Florida and set her house on fire,” Jackson continued.

“No one who has any interest in facts or logic should pay attention to whatever Ana is spewing on TV because it’s probably wrong or stupid or, most likely, both," she added.

Ana Navarro calls 'Alligator Alcatraz' visitors 'racist' 

It all began on 'The View' Friday morning, July 11, when Ana Navarro launched into a diatribe about "Alligator Alcatraz" and what she believes it represents.

“If you’re out there in the Everglades, driving out there and getting out of your car to take a picture as if it were the Eiffel Tower, you are a racist and you are a horrible human being,” she declared, drawing applause from the studio audience.

“This is not just about undocumented immigrants,” she continued. “When you’re taking away temporary protective status, when you’re putting legal, permanent residents, detaining and deporting them, when you’re threatening US citizens that you don’t like that you’re going to take away their citizenship, naturalized ones, when you’re talking about birthright citizenship and taking that away."

"This is not about going after the criminals and the gang members, this is about making America white again and otherizing everybody who’s an immigrant," she added. 

Ana Navarro faces social media backlash

Ana Navarro’s speech sparked a brutal roasting session on social media.

“@ananavarro dumb as a box a rocks and I’m sorry to say that about a box of rocks,” one user posted on X.

“What a low IQ moron! So uninformed, so uneducated, fear-mongering, spewing nonsense, just disgusting,” another chimed in.

“As she sits there making millions with her Latin accent. How many illegals did she sponsor? I am sure she has a wall around her house with security,” read another comment.

“She should go back to Nicaragua… they probably don’t want her either,” someone else quipped.

“I’m old enough to remember when people were convinced she was a conservative commentator. Thanks, DJT, for unmasking all these clowns!” another added.

Donald Trump’s long-running feud with 'The View'

This is hardly the first time 'The View' has been in the president’s crosshairs. Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked the talk show’s co-hosts, at one point slamming moderator Whoopi Goldberg’s comedy as “filthy dirty” and calling the rest of the panel “really dumb people” during his run-up to the 2024 election.

While Navarro and the rest of the crew have consistently criticized Trump and his policies, co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin previously worked for him during his first term.

But even Griffin eventually broke ranks. She resigned, publicly turned on Trump, and spoke to prosecutors in 2023 during the major investigation into the January 6 Capitol riot.
