Ana Navarro of Univision’s “The View” getting closer to Trump
Ana Navarro is unhappy with Univision’s decision to change its strategy around coverage of former President Donald Trump, and she took to social media to voice her displeasure.
Acknowledging the Spanish-language network as “a good player in the Latino community,” Navarro expressed concerns about Trump’s recent interview with the network conducted from his Mar-a-Lago property, and conducted by Enrique Acevedo, the most popular news show. anchor in Mexico.
She said: “It was a ridiculous interview. It was embarrassing. It was an unapologetic interview. She added: “You would have thought they were interviewing Barney the Dinosaur. It was a celebration of love.
Additionally, Navarro reminded viewers that Trump “played the immigration card” to start his 2016 presidential campaign and that he “made a habit of insulting, otherwise targeting, Latinos and Latin immigrants.”
Trump, in the past, has called Mexicans criminals and rapists and called them assholes. He made several insulting remarks, including that if he won the presidency, he would build a wall between the United States and Mexico and make the Mexican government pay for it.
Navarro said: “The interview was a disgrace, a journalistic disgrace,” she added:
“To see the biggest network, the most important network in the Latino community – Univision – give this man a platform for an hour with no pressure… There were a ton of smiling faces. Donald Trump referred during the interview to his friends present, from the executives of Univision and Univision. This raised a lot of questions. I don’t know what’s going on at Univision but I think we need to talk about it. I think we must demand transparency and accountability from this very important and crucial network for the Latino community.
Navarro posted on Instagram that she thinks it’s good when politicians from both parties and candidates try to win over Latino voters. She continued: “What we cannot have, however, is a lack of accountability to those who came for our community, belittling and insulting us. »
Additionally, she points out that since Jorge Ramos was excluded from a campaign event in 2015, Trump has not offered Univision an interview.
Navarro persisted in his attempt at criticism. She said Acevedo is a good journalist and expressed confusion about what happened. She said: “It really makes you wonder if there was some sort of order under which he was acting that way.”
She also discussed Univision’s abrupt cancellation of Joe Biden’s ads, which raised the question of why an interview with Biden’s spokesperson that was supposed to air after the Trump interview was canceled.
Navarro pointed out, “Then we find out that Jared Kushner is involved in all of this and has had conversations and been friendly and friendly with the executives at Televisa.”
Navarro wonders if TelevisaUnivision is trying to woo Trump in the hopes that, if he wins the presidency, he can relax regulations barring foreigners from owning a majority stake in a U.S. channel.
She concluded by saying: “We are very concerned about what a change in ideology led by the people at the Mexican channel Televisa who want to get closer to the people in America can mean for the American elections. So now is the time to be active.
Navarro isn’t the only well-known figure concerned about Univision’s change in strategy. Others, including actor and activist John Leguizamo, called for a boycott of the network because of the way it handled the interview.
