Ana Navarro surprised her fellow CNN panelist Scott Jennings with an F-bomb while discussing the “Michelle Obama is a man” story.
As BizPac Review previously reported, the Freedom 250 UFC fight got a lot of attention when Josh Hokit used his platform to declare that former First Lady Michelle Obama is “a man.” This quip has made headlines, and on Monday night, CNN NewsNight discussed the lack of condemnation from President Donald Trump and people from his inner circle.

“I will say one thing. Michelle Obama is a former first lady, okay? She‘s a former first lady, period. So to me, it‘s not that hard to say. We don‘t go there,” host Abby Phillip said. “But again, to Charles‘s point, this is the same president who posted an image of Obama and of the Obamas as apes. Not a long time ago, and he didn‘t apologize for it.”
“This line of attack against Michelle Obama has been going on in right-wing extremist circles for years and years and years. So, he doesn’t want to confront it because it would mean confronting part of his base. He doesn’t want to condemn it or apologize for that, because he thinks that shows weakness,” Navarro claimed.
“But all I‘ll say is this, whenever there is a Democrat back in the White House, and they invite Robert De Niro and Robert De Niro stands in the White House and says, f**k Trump, or starts talking about, you know what, what Melania Trump did, I don‘t want anybody who has remained silent right now raising their hand or saying a thing,” she said. “Because it‘s got to, you know, there‘s things that are just condemnable. These are the same people who want a comedian fired because of a lame joke about Melania Trump, and yet they don‘t have the, you know, the guy said he had the balls to host the UFC, but he doesn‘t have the balls to condemn what is clearly condemnable.”
The unexpected use of profanity threw Jennings for a loop, causing him to turn toward the camera with a look of shock.
De Niro is also back in the headlines after declaring that he “can’t love the country that’s led by [President] Donald Trump.” While speaking at the leftist protest “Rise Up, Sing Out,” he issued a screed against the United States because of the man elected as president.
