Ana Navarro joined The View this morning to discuss the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, which occurred on a Utah campus last week.

Navarro began by calling out President Donald Trump for blaming “the radicals on the left” for Kirk’s murder. With Trump making public appearances to speak out about Kirk’s death and promising to attend his funeral, Navarro noted that Trump didn’t have the same energy when former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband, and their dog were assassinated earlier this year.

“I would like to say that I was disappointed in what Donald Trump said but I’m not, because that’s who he is and that’s who he’s always been in times like this,” Navarro said, before comparing Trump’s reaction to Kirk’s death to that of Hortman, a Democratic lawmaker. “It was their family that also has, now, two children that are going to be left to be raised without a mother and a father.”

“To me, it doesn’t matter what their political persuasion was,” she added.

Navarro then dove into Kirk’s conservative ideology. While she and her co-hosts largely disagreed with him, she told viewers that there is no place for political violence in America.

“A lot of people are out there trying to portray Charlie Kirk as if he was spreading pixie dust around the country,” she said. “A lot of people, to use the word of [Utah Gov. Spencer Cox], found what he said ‘inflammatory’ or worse. But that’s not the point.”

“The point is we are in America,” Navarro continued. “He has the right to say it. I have the right to disagree and find it abhorrent. But our weapon in this country is debate. Our weapon is freedom of speech. Our weapon is organizing. Our weapon is our vote. Our weapon should never, ever be a gun.”

The View first spoke on Kirk’s assassination the day after it happened.

“I cannot believe that someone would kill another person because they were speaking their beliefs,” Sunny Hostin said on the Sept. 11 episode of The View. “This is antithetical to who we are as Americans. The First Amendment is the First Amendment for a reason. We should be able to voice whatever opinions that we have.”

The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
