Co-host Ana Navarro of 'The View' asserts that political violence is a significant aspect of contemporary American society.
An anti-Trump host condemns political violence, regardless of the perpetrator.
Ana Navarro, a co-host on "The View," argued on Monday that American politicians who claim there's no room for political violence are out of touch with reality following another attempt to assassinate former President Trump.
Yesterday, elected officials on both sides of the aisle tweeted out, "In America, there is no room, there is no space for political violence." She said, "We condemn political violence. We condemn it no matter who it's perpetrated on or attempted on."
Navarro listed off politically motivated attacks in the U.S., saying, "What kind of America do these people live in that they believe there's no room for political violence?"
"Two attempts on Donald Trump have occurred, including when Gabby Giffords, a congresswoman from Arizona, was shot in the head at an event in her district, and when the congressional baseball team was shot at. Additionally, Nancy Pelosi's husband had his skull bashed in with a hammer from a political enemy, and on January 6, people raided and stormed the Capitol."
Political violence is a significant aspect of the America we inhabit, as she stated.
On Sunday, while golfing at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Fla., Trump was targeted by an assassination attempt. Secret Service agents fired on the suspect, who was attempting to shoot through a hole in the fence about 300 yards ahead. The suspect fled but was later arrested.
In a statement, President Biden condemned "political violence" and commended the Secret Service for safeguarding former President Trump.
I have repeatedly stated that our country has no place for political violence, and I have instructed my team to ensure that Secret Service has all the resources, capabilities, and protective measures necessary to safeguard the former President's safety.
Any form of political violence is unacceptable in this country, and the perpetrator must be held accountable through prosecution.
Hakeem Jeffries, the House Minority Leader from New York, agreed with Schumer, stating that "political violence has no place in a democratic society."
Navarro, a staunch anti-Trump critic, accused Republicans of inciting "political violence" and linked the assassination attempt on Trump to bomb threats against Springfield, Ohio, which were allegedly linked to discussions about Haitian migrants in the city.
"I believe bomb threats in Springfield are an act of political violence. Threats against Taylor Swift for her endorsement, which we all have the right to do, I also consider political violence," she stated.
The conversation shifted to gun control, with the co-host advocating for stricter regulations on obtaining a firearm.
"It's important to discuss the issue of mental health individuals obtaining easy access to assault weapons," she stated.
The FBI is currently investigating the incident that occurred two months after another assassination attempt against the former president during a Pennsylvania rally in July. During this event, the shooter injured Trump in the ear and killed one of his supporters, Corey Comperatore.
