A week ago, ABC’s The View pushed Vice President Kamala Harris’s BIG LIE that Florida schools were going to teach students that slavery was a good thing. On Monday, Disney’s attack dogs on the show took things to a disgusting and hypocritical low as faux-conservative Ana Navarro minimized the brutality of slavery when she suggested Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) was getting a “beating” like a slave in the polls.
In a segment where they touted Republican presidential candidate Will Hurd attacking a Republican crowd in Iowa, Navarro was irate that former President Trump was still doing well in the polls. “[H]e's got over 50 percent. He's at 54 percent, and there's 200 other Republicans running, and you've got Trump at 54 percent,” she huffed.
She then turned her ire to DeSantis and mocked his poll numbers:
Ron DeSantis was supposed to be plan B, and he's ended up being plan bad. Very, very bad. He's at 17 percent. That's over 30 points under Donald Trump who's got two indictments and possibly a third and fourth before this month is over.
Navarro, a failed political strategist, suggested he should abandon updates to Florida’s black history curriculum by pushing the Vice President’s BIG LIE. She also used an analogy to compare the “beating” he was getting in the polls to that of the slaves and hoped he would “learn some skills” from it:
And I would say to Ron DeSantis, maybe, maybe the first thing you should start doing is stop fighting with black Republicans who are telling you to stop defending the standards about slavery that you are trying to make part of the curriculum in Florida.
I mean, what is it that he said? That slaves – slaves learned skills that they could use later on in life? Well, maybe with the beating he's getting, he's going to learn some skills he could learn later on in life like humility or compassion or self-awareness.
And if anyone wasn't sure that's what she meant, she doubled down on her attack on Twitter. She proudly shared a video of her disgusting comments, adding: "Maybe the thumping he’s getting can teach Ron Disaster some life skills he could one day benefit from. Just sayin…."
As they were going to a commercial break later in the show, they teased an interview that ABC correspondent Linsey Davis hd pre-recorded with Harris that would air later that evening. In the clip, Davis teed up Harris to push her BIG LIE even more.
Completely ignoring and omitting the fact that the scholars who wrote the curriculum were black, Davis slow-pitched to Harris a question about their criticism of her lies. “One of the architects of that curriculum, if you will, said that your position is ‘a kind of ideological posturing.’ What's your response to that?” she wondered.
Harris responded by hypocritically bloviating about how “this is just a matter of whether one chooses to speak fact and truth or not.” “There are so-called leaders, extremists, who are attempting to require in our nation, an unnecessary debate with the intention I believe to try and divide us as Americans,” she proclaimed with ZERO irony.
Also last week, The View’s staunch anti-white racist, Sunny Hostin proclaimed that ALL white people still “continue to reap the benefits” of slavery.
Ana Navarro’s disgusting analogy was made possible because of lucrative sponsorship from Ancestry and Swiffer. Their contact information is linked.

ANA NAVARRO: There are several running. They're not doing very well. Will Hurd is one of them. Asa Hutchinson is one. Chris Christie.
But you know, what's happening in Iowa and around the country in this Republican primary is, frankly, that Donald Trump is dominating. And in the latest polls, he's got over 50 percent. He's at 54 percent, and there's 200 other Republicans running, and you've got Trump at 54 percent.
Ron DeSantis was supposed to be plan B, and he's ended up being plan bad. Very, very bad. He's at 17 percent. That's over 30 points under Donald Trump who's got two indictments and possibly a third and fourth before this month is over.
And I would say to Ron DeSantis, maybe, maybe the first thing you should start doing is stop fighting with black Republicans who are telling you to stop defending the standards about slavery that you are trying to make part of the curriculum in Florida. I mean, what is it that he said?
[Applause]
That slaves -- slaves learned skills that they could use later on in life? Well, maybe with the beating he's getting, he's going to learn some skills he could learn later on in life like humility or compassion or self-awareness.

LINSEY DAVIS: I want to talk about who issues that you’ve come out in front of in recent days. In particular, in Florida we're all familiar about the curriculum now changing for black history that includes the idea that the enslaved gained some skills that were beneficial to them from slavery. One of the architects of that curriculum, if you will, said that your position a kind of ideological posturing. What's your response to that?
VP KAMALA HARRIS: Well, I think that this is just a matter of whether one chooses to speak fact and truth or not. And it's pretty much that simple. I don't think that this is subject to any ideological debate to say that people who were enslaved did not benefit from slavery, period.
And I'll say this also, because it almost seems ridiculous to have to say what I just said, that enslaved people do not benefit from slavery. There are so-called leaders, extremists, who are attempting to require in our nation, an unnecessary debate with the intention I believe to try and divide us as Americans. Stop. Stop.
