'The View' co-host Ana Navarro rips Melania Trump's Putin letter 'performative' and 'hypocritical'

Ana Navarro, who co-hosts “The View,” criticized First Lady Melania Trump’s peace letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday, calling it “so hypocritical that it’s almost unbelievable.”

Navarro shared an Instagram video where she discussed Melania Trump’s letter, which was given to Putin during last Friday’s summit with President Donald Trump in Alaska. The letter implored Putin to cease his conflict in Ukraine for the sake of the children affected by the war.

The first lady wrote, “Mr. Putin, you have the power to bring back their joyful laughter. By protecting these children’s innocence, you are serving more than just Russia—you are serving humanity as a whole.”

Navarro blasted the letter as an example of “performative” hypocrisy because of President Trump’s immigration and spending policies.

“Think about what her husband, what Donald Trump, is doing to the children of immigrants in America, and to U.S. citizen children of immigrants,” Navarro said. “How many of those children are living with the fear of their parents being dragged through the streets of America? Their car windows smashed in? Their parents beaten by masked men and disappeared?”

She added, “How about the children all over the world who are not receiving U.S. aid because her husband’s government decided we shouldn’t be feeding starving children all over the world? How about all those kids?”

Navarro sarcastically applauded the first lady’s letter as a “good thing” for Ukrainian children but told her to “start a little closer to home.”

“Maybe she should turn around and say the exact same thing to her husband, because there are children in America crying, suffering, going to bed in fear, returning to homes that are abandoned and empty, not knowing where their next meal is coming from because of what her husband is doing,” Navarro said.

Navarro wrote another Instagram post a few hours later attacking Melania Trump’s letter again, with an additional jab at her marriage.

“So Melania, it’s good you write a letter to Putin. Now, how about you write one to the man you sleep with… oh, wait,” Navarro wrote.

Navarro and her other “View” co-hosts have targeted the first lady in the past during Trump’s first term and even when he was out of office.

In October, Sunny Hostin went so far as to claim that Mrs. Trump “hates” her husband and “wants to take him out.”

“I think she hates him. OK, so we can all agree that. That’s a given. I also think that she wants to take him out. She does not want to be the first lady anymore. She doesn’t want to be the first lady. She destroyed the Rose Garden.

“Who hates Christmas? Melania Trump hates Christmas. She doesn’t want to decorate for Christmas. She doesn’t want anything to do with him. She doesn’t want to sleep in the same room with him. She can’t tolerate him,” Hostin said at the time.

Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.
