'The View' host Ana Navarro receives flak for labeling Vivek Ramaswamy an 'obnoxious charlatan'
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: ‘The View’ is currently on its summer hiatus, however, the GOP debate has sparked political discourse amongst its co-hosts on social media, and that includes Ana Navarro.
Navarro, who has taken time off from her vacation, talked about Indian-American Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and the governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis.
‘The View’ co-host took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to showcase recent poll numbers, which saw Ramaswamy take the lead over DeSantis, with Donald Trump far ahead of both.
As Navarro compared Ramaswamy and DeSantis’ numbers, she labeled Ramaswamy an ‘obnoxious charlatan’ and faced severe backlash for the same.

Along with the poll numbers, Navarro wrote, “Vivek strikes me as an obnoxious charlatan. I’m not a fan. But I can’t help enjoying new post-debate polls showing he has knocked God-awful DeSantis into third place.”
