Fans Outraged by ‘The View’ Co-Host Ana Navarro’s ‘Inappropriate’ Behavior Towards Barack Obama

“The View” co-host Ana Navarro-Cárdenas finds herself in a difficult situation with President Barack Obama’s fans.

Navarro-Cárdenas posted two photos on X of herself and her dog ChaCha hugging the previous president backstage throughout the second night of the 2024 Democratic National Convention. One photo shows the Republican commentator along with her hand on his chest, while the opposite shows her kissing Obama on the cheek.

In the caption, she provided some context for the primary photo, writing, “Someone had to fix his tie. So Chacha and I got to work on it.”

While Navarro-Cárdenas, who has been married to Al Cárdenas since 2019, can have had good intentions in posting her tweet and attempting to fix Obama’s tie, it clearly didn’t sit well with a few of his supporters, especially media strategist April Reign.

Reign wasted no time condemning Navarro-Cárdenas’ behavior on X, writing, “Girl delete this. You ain’t that someone or what Aaliyah said,” referencing the 1998 song “Are You That Somebody” by the late singer Aaliyah.

She continued: “You know this is crossing the line, that’s why you blocked replies.”

But Reign, the creator of the hashtag and #OscarsSoWhite movement, didn’t stop along with her anger.

X then wrote one other post, “Because you are NOT going to imply that YOU had to fix his tie while Michelle was just around the corner in the guest room. You and your little doggy in your purse need to remember where you are and not within a tie’s length of our POTUS. How dare you.”

Online observers of the posts thought that Reign can have been overreacting with the photos and thus making the situation more serious than it needed to be. However, others agreed along with her opinions and felt that not only were the photos inappropriate, but some felt they were rude to Obama’s wife, former first lady Michelle Obama.

In the comments under the repost, someone warned her: “Honey please don’t let Chicago end up with Michelle… I understand but please don’t do this.”

Another person, who also quoted Navarro’s tweet, said: “The blatant disrespect that non-black women show to black women…even those with platforms…is savage. This man LOVES his wife and also you thought it was perfect to purposely flirt with him and post it online.

Another critic said: “Not that it matters, but I remember she was very critical of him when he was in power. Now she’s the one who fixes everything? Lol.”

Others who thought Navarro-Cárdenas was just attempting to be helpful wrote, “Colleagues help each other out at all times. Michelle doesn’t worry about anyone else with her husband. People are so unnecessarily messy” and “This isn’t that deep. It’s not like she was hitting on them. She was just adjusting Manns’ tie. Next!”

Like Obama and his wife Michelle, Navarro-Cárdenas attended the second night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to deliver her own speech in support of Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris.

In the book, she told a private a part of her story to criticize Republican presidential candidate, former President Donald Trump, and explain what America could appear like under his leadership.

“Donald Trump and his supporters call Kamala a communist. I know communism. I fled communism in Nicaragua when I was 8 years old,” Navarro-Cárdenas said, before adding: “And let me tell you what communist dictators do. And they never do it just for one day. They attack the free press. They call them enemies of the people.”

In a summary of her speech, she also said that the communists “place their incompetent relatives in comfortable government positions so that they can enrich themselves through their positions… and refuse to recognize legitimate elections when they lose and call for violence.”

Navarro-Cárdenas then asked the gang, “Does any of this sound familiar? Is there anyone running for president that reminds you of this?” referring to Donald Trump.

The fourth and final day of the DNC might be Aug. 22, and can feature Democratic officials akin to Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healy, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and the vp herself when she delivers her acceptance speech. The fundamental program is scheduled for six:30 p.m. ET.
