Ana Navarro: ‘The Only Thing Trump Has To Offer The American People Is Fear’

Ana Navarro claimed Friday that fear was “the only thing” President Donald Trump had to offer the American people.

Navarro, who was guest-hosting on ABC’s “The View,” suggested that Trump was selling fear in numerous forms: “fear of lawlessness, fear of socialism, fear of ballots, fear of election results, fear of the transition.” (RELATED: ‘If This Clown Show Happened On Fox, You’d Be Raging’: Janice Dean Fires Back At Ana Navarro For Defending Cuomo Brothers)

Cohost Joy Behar began the segment with the president’s comments about mail-in ballots and concerns that the election results would either be impossible to determine or fraudulent. Turning to Navarro, she asked whether Republicans would fall in line or challenge Trump on this particular issue.

“I think a lot of them are distancing themselves on this, at least, you know, one thing,” Navarro replied, adding, “Joy, it’s more of the same. Okay? The only thing Trump has to offer the American people is fear. That is what his campaign is sowing in the hearts of Americans. Fear. Fear of lawlessness, fear of socialism, fear of ballots, fear of election results, fear of the transition.”

Navarro went on to argue that the goal of the Trump campaign was to suppress the vote by “making Americans fearful of what will happen if he doesn’t get elected.”

But Navarro also noted that it could backfire, saying that early voting had already drawn large numbers in Virginia. “If people have to walk over molten lava to get to the voting booth, I think many Americans will,” she said.

Navarro concluded by claiming that Trump was trying to emulate dictators like Cuba’s Fidel Castro and Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, and Behar agreed.

“Yes. It’s ironic, isn’t it, that the people are worried — lot of people you mentioned are worried about communism but he’s the one who’s acting like a communist,” Behar said.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
