GOP strategist Ana Navarro hammered Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., for trying to “justify” President Donald Trump’s admonishment to four minority congresswomen to “go back” to their home countries.
In a tongue-lashing Friday on “The View,” where Navarro is a co-host, she sternly reminded Rubio of his family’s Cuban heritage.
“I have seen Marco Rubio, whose parents came here fleeing poverty, who represents a community where they were told, ‘We won’t rent to Cubans, to blacks, or to dogs,’ ‘You can’t drink from this water fountain,’ I have seen him try to justify this,” she said Friday during the broadest.
“I’ve seen him call people who are outraged, like me, he calls it self-righteous hypocrites. Let me tell you what self-righteous hypocrisy is — tweeting Bible verses every day and remaining silent while this president puts children in cages.”
“You know what self-righteous hypocrisy is? Representing a community full of Venezuelans and Cubans and Haitians and Puerto Ricans – people who hear everyday, ‘Go back to where you’re from,' and somehow trying to play this as if there are two sides.”
In the wake of Trump’s hit on Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Rashida Tlaib of Michigan and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Rubio called the attack “wrong” and a Trump rally chant to “send her back” — aimed at Omar — “grotesque,” but then added: “The left wing politicians & many in the media demanding outrage are self righteous hypocrites.”
