“The View” co-host Ana Navarro and Stephanie Grisham, who served as Melania Trump’s chief of staff, sparred Friday over previously working for former President Donald Trump’s administration.

Grisham, who also served as White House press secretary and communications director, claimed that Trump takes advantage and laughs “behind closed doors” at the people “who truly believe in him.” Navarro objected by pointing out that she remained in his administration for several years. “For years you heard him do this, right?” Navarro began. “Laugh behind closed doors. So why did it take so long to find it so objectionable?

“I did cover this, but I’m happy to do it again,” Grisham said. “So let’s not waste time repeating myself—”

“I believe people deserve an explanation,” Navarro said. (RELATED: ‘The View’ Uses Cuomo Accusations To Bash Trump And Jim Jordan: ‘Enough Is Enough’) 

“I gave it, I gave Tuesday, I will give it again today, that is fine by me,” Grisham replied. “I worked for Mrs. Trump, I moved to the West Wing, I saw things I hated, by that time I wanted to leave and I knew—because I’m sorry, people like yourself are so against me that I would not be able to get a job anywhere … I think when you keep attacking me, you’re attacking a lot of people out there who might want an off-ramp.”

Navarro argued that those who worked and supported Trump need to be held accountable, to which Grisham agreed and said she is trying to change and make sure the former president does not get re-elected. She then questioned the former chief of staff as to why anyone should believe her after four years.

Co-host Joy Behar interjected, suggesting to Navarro that change throughout the course of four years is possible.

“Four years later? After ‘there were good people on both sides,’ after the way he treated immigrants, after what he said about Mexicans, after hearing the sexual assault boasts on tape, after seeing him make fun of a disabled reporter? You need four years?” Navarro argued.

“You also don’t know the things I stayed in there and stopped,” Grisham responded. “So if we want to fight this out for the rest of this I’m good to go. But I’m sorry, I’m sorry and I want him to be never elected again.”

“Well, listen, maybe for me, it’s a little personal because I took attacks for four years from people who worked in that White House,” Navarro said.

Co-host Sunny Hostin chimed in, asking how both Navarro and Grisham are still associated with the Republican Party. The former chief of staff argued Trump is not a true Republican.

Navarro then stated that Republicans “antagonize” and Democrats “take advantage” of the Hispanic community. She said former President George W. Bush supported her community and she hopes for “two healthy parties” who compete for the Hispanic vote.

“You know, I think there’s a time to cut bait,” Hostin replied. “And I think when you have a party that is so sick, and so divisive, and so harmful to this country, I think standing in that party makes you complicit.”

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.
