WASHINGTON, DC: ‘The View’ host Ana Navarro visited the White House to celebrate Hispanic Heritage, where she also met Vice President Kamala Harris. However, Navarro had an interesting story to tell her fans.

On Instagram, Navarro shared a “true story” of singer Gloria Estefan, her clutch bag, and the White House.

Navarro's fans had a good laugh at the situation Estefan found herself in, all due to a bag she was holding.

Navarro also posed with Estefan and her bag, and fans couldn’t help but swoon over the two women, as they praised them in the comment section.

“Gloria gets stopped and told she can’t go in with her clutch bag. It’s really cute. The handle is shaped so you can put your fingers through it,” continued Navarro.

‘The View’ host then shared the kicker, “I literally heard the police officer tell Gloria, “Ma’am, you can’t go into the White House with brass knuckles.”

Navarro then detailed the second part of the story, “Fortunately, her right-hand woman, Heather, was there and they switched bags on the sidewalk, under a tree.”

“Oh, and all three of us also forgot to bring our invitations, which you need to show at the door. Cuz you know, you don’t just come off the street and get into the White House. I felt like I was in a Seinfeld episode. We finally made it in and had a lovely night,” concluded Navarro.

She shared pictures of Estefan’s bag, and also a picture of them together. In addition, ‘The View’ host Ana Navarro also applauded Vice President Kamala Harris, and how she “powerfully addressed the Israel-Hamas war.”
