![]() The Republican Party, led by Trump, were laser-focused on instilling fear in a traumatized community. Navarro: (The Trump campaign) drove home and exploited and really drove a wedge of socialism. I think some of the people who have been allowed and embraced by the party is part of the Trump legacy. I think he's looming large on something that's going on all around the country right now, which is the introduction in legislatures all over the country to figure out ways to restrict voting to make it harder to vote. He certainly looms large in Republican primaries, and I think that is going to make a huge difference as to who ultimately gets elected. I didn't see the same energy that I've seen from him at rallies. He was a little low energy at that CPAC speech. I think we have to see just how involved (Trump) really does stay. Navarro: It's only been a little bit over a month since Trump left the presidency. Hall: How do you see a way forward from this? What’s going to happen to the Republican Party? To pretend that he is not elite and rail against the elite is the utmost hypocrisy.ĭonald Trump talking against cancel culture and yet going through the names of every single Republican that voted to convict him or voted for impeachment. Ted Cruz railing against the elite when he fled his state to go to a Ritz Carlton resort in Cancun amid a catastrophe. Ted Cruz, making light of and making jokes about his Cancun debacle. I thought it was a parade of hypocrisy and inconsistency. (This year was) like an annual pilgrimage to worship at the shrine of Trump. It used to be a conservative event about debating policy and ideas. They wouldn't be welcome I'm not even sure they'd be physically safe. ![]() I kept thinking this weekend, neither Mitt nor John could show up at that CPAC. I was there in 2012 when Mitt Romney won the CPAC presidential straw poll and spoke. But he showed up, and he reminded people about the shared values and principles, and he did call for unity. He wasn't very popular with the conservative right at that point because he just attempted immigration reform with Ted Kennedy, and many people were very angry at him. I remember being there in 2008 when John McCain spoke. ![]() Navarro: I punished myself and watched a lot of CPAC. How do you see the future of the Republican Party with that split? What do you think should happen, and what do you think is going to happen? Hall: We've just seen Donald Trump reemerge as a hero at CPAC, the conservative political conference, and many Republicans are saying they would vote for him in 2024, and he's threatening to punish the people who voted to impeach him. SOC professor Jane Hall, herself a veteran of cable news channels, moderated the hour-long conversation, which has been edited for length and clarity. She talked about that criticism and her vision of the Republican Party’s future. Navarro, who recently received a 2020 Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host with her co-hosts on The View, has been an outspoken critic of Donald Trump and the former president’s supporters in the Republican Party. Ana Navarro is a co-host of The View and a commentator on CNN.Īna Navarro has long served as one of CNN’s most prominent conservative commentators.īut she’s found a new, and perhaps larger, audience as a weekly host on The View, which she called “the best gig in TV” in a conversation with AU students Thursday at an event hosted by the Kennedy Political Union and sponsored by the College Republicans. ![]()
