Deranged CNN: Navarro Goes On Insane Rant Against Trump Supporters

Posted on 11 July 2020

On Friday morning’s New Day, CNN co-hosts John Berman and Alisyn Camerota brought on political commentators Ana Navarro and David Axelrod to spew Democratic propaganda about coronavirus. The hacks accused Trump of politicizing coronavirus, but then politicized it throughout the segment. Navarro went on an insane rant where she blamed Trump “supporters” for spreading COVID. The CNN analyst started off the segment by attacking Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis:     And so you know, I can't tell you how many articles I read about what a great job Florida had done, what a great job the governor had done, the mayors had done and I think we believed it because we were desperate to get out. We were desperate to see each other. Then you know, it kind of coincided with graduation season and coincided with Father's Day. It coincided with certain holidays that led to -- to the congregations we saw on the beaches. People didn’t close the beaches early enough. Those should have remained closed. The places where the young people congregation should have remained closed. And then you saw -- you have seen the polarization of COVID and that is plain stupid and it is costing people's lives. For there not to be a mandate for masks is stupid. It's political. It's plain politics and putting that in front of Floridians’ interests. Axelrod then accused Trump of politicizing the virus by politicizing it himself: Yeah, look, without trying to politicize this ourselves, it is obvious that this is a national crisis. It's a global crisis but for America it's a national crisis. It demands a national response. The President found the facts inconvenient for the first six weeks and denied the existence of the virus. Then he declared war on the virus. And then he declared the war was over in the middle of the battle and now we see the results of that. And the states some of them -- many of the states that are suffering now are people who followed that lead and who rushed to open. He forgot to mention that Nancy Pelosi downplayed the coronavirus in February and that his presidential candidate, Joe Biden, attacked Trump for his February China travel ban. Navarro next dropped all guise of objectivity by going on a venomous rant: In the United States of America it takes seven days to know whether you’ve got this highly contagious disease or not. How could that be happening in Florida? I don't want anybody telling me anything else about the third world because if that's not third world, I don't know what is. And look, Donald Trump is coming to Miami today. This is a great time -- this is a great opportunity for him to be presidential for once and talk about social distancing and talk about wearing masks because make no mistake, it is his supporters who are out there refusing to wear masks because they think it makes them look weak, because it's government overreach, because it’s communism, because it’s big brother telling you what to do, because it's so hard to wear a mask. I'll tell you what’s hard. Wearing a nurse's uniform in an emergency room that's filled with COVID patients. That's hard. Wearing a fireman’s uniform into a fire, that’s hard. Wearing the nation's uniform, which President Trump refused to do and was a draft dodger for, like Tammy Duckworth did, that is hard. Wearing a mask is not hard. Breathing through a mask is not hard. Wearing spanx is harder than wearing a damn mask, so everybody should just wear their damn masks because people are dying. People are getting sick. Left unsaid by Navarro was the fact that the majority of the leading states in cases and deaths are run by Democrats. The deranged Navarro then suggested that it would be “criminal” if Trump does not wear a mask during his upcoming visit to Florida: But if he does that in Miami today, David, I'll tell you something, it's criminal. If you take a look at the numbers, over two out of every 100 Miamians from Miami-Dade are suffering with COVID. One out of 100 Floridians. More than 1 out of 100 if you look at the numbers have -- are dealing with COVID. So to come to Florida and not stress the importance of social distancing, washing your hands, wearing your masks, doing the -- the basic things that -- that we should be doing is just -- it’s -- it’s -- I mean, it's more than not presidential, it's criminal. CNN has an election to win for Biden in November, so it will continue to smear Trump and his supporters. This Democratic propaganda was brought to its viewers by Amazon and Uber.

You're in Florida, you're in the middle of it all. You're aware that the President is coming today. To hear Dr. Fauci, again, name names, single out Florida for its response. What are you seeing?  ANA NAVARRO (CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR): Look, I think -- I think it's a perfect storm of what happened here in Florida. We let our guard down. I think we had a false sense of security created by elected officials who told us we’d done a great job. We’d -- we’d gone into quarantine early. The heat will kill the virus. The humidity kill the virus. But let me tell you buddy, the heat and the humidity is about to kill me and the virus is doing just fine. And so you know, I can't tell you how many articles I read about what a great job Florida had done, what a great job the governor had done, the mayors had done and I think we believed it because we were desperate to get out. We were desperate to see each other. Then you know, it kind of coincided with graduation season and coincided with Father's Day. It coincided with certain holidays that led to -- to the congregations we saw on the beaches. People didn’t close the beaches early enough. Those should have remained closed. The places where the young people congregation should have remained closed. And then you saw -- you have seen the polarization of COVID and that is plain stupid and it is costing people's lives. For there not to be a mandate for masks is stupid. It's political. It's plain politics and putting that in front of Floridians’ interests.  ALISYN CAMEROTA: David, at this point, I mean, it just feels hopeless. I -- I don't know how we are going to get out of this because any time we have one of our experts on, which is several times a morning, they say oh, well, it's simple. We follow the lead of what they did successfully in other countries. And that is, you have widespread testing and you do contact tracing and we don't know how to do at. The federal government has washed their hands of it. Last night, the CDC Director, Dr. Robert Redfield told Sanjay, we really need rapid testing. He's the head of the -- the CDC. Whose responsibility is it at this point?  DAVID AXELROD (CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR): Yeah, look, without trying to politicize this ourselves, it is obvious that this is a national crisis. It's a global crisis but for America it's a national crisis. It demands a national response. The President found the facts inconvenient for the first six weeks and denied the existence of the virus. Then he declared war on the virus. And then he declared the war was over in the middle of the battle and now we see the results of that. And the states some of them -- many of the states that are suffering now are people who followed that lead and who rushed to open. Everyone wants to open the country. Everyone wants their kids in school. But what we’ve seen now, and Ana's experiencing it in her own state, is if that -- if you do it too quickly, if don't do it the right way, if you don't follow the protocol, if you don't wear masks, you don’t social distance and so on, you’re going to be right back in the soup again. And so the absence of national leadership here and mobilization of our resources to meet the need, is really hurting and what we’re seeing in these states is what we feared at the beginning, which is that public health systems are being overwhelmed because of our inability to do what we know works.  BERMAN: Yeah. The president is saying --  NAVARRO: And -- and -- and Alisyn -- BERMAN: Go ahead. NAVARRO: -- you just said something that’s so important because you were talking about testing. Look, I have eight people around me right now who are either going through COVID, who-- who think they have COVID. But I have two who had tests done a week ago and are still waiting for results. And they are going under the assumption -- based on the assumption that they have it.  CAMEROTA: That's madness.  NAVARRO: It is. It is unconscionable.  CAMEROTA: That’s madness, Ana. That's unconscionable.  NAVARRO: It is ridiculous. CAMEROTA: How can we be waiting seven to 10 days? NAVARRO: In the United States of America it takes seven days to know whether you’ve got this highly contagious disease or not. How could that be happening in Florida? I don't want anybody telling me anything else about the third world because if that's not third world, I don't know what is. And look, Donald Trump is coming to Miami today. This is a great time -- this is a great opportunity for him to be presidential for once and talk about social distancing and talk about wearing masks because make no mistake, it is his supporters who are out there refusing to wear masks because they think it makes them look weak, because it's government overreach, because it’s communism, because it’s big brother telling you what to do, because it's so hard to wear a mask. I'll tell you what’s hard. Wearing a nurse's uniform in an emergency room that's filled with COVID patients. That's hard. Wearing a fireman’s uniform into a fire, that’s hard. Wearing the nation's uniform, which President Trump refused to do and was a draft dodger for, like Tammy Duckworth did, that is hard. Wearing a mask is not hard. Breathing through a mask is not hard. Wearing spanx is harder than wearing a damn mask, so everybody should just wear their damn masks because people are dying. People are getting sick. It's not just old people, it's not just liberals. It's Republicans, it's Democrats, it's black, it’s white, it’s Latino, it's rich, it’s poor. COVID does not discriminate and we are at a -- an emergency here in Florida. People got to knock off the politics and just face the science and the facts.  BERMAN: David, we understand that the President will visit Walter Reed tomorrow and at least the reporting right now, the President's claim is -- is that he will wear a mask when he goes to Walter Reed. CNN's reporting is he's doing it, you know, kicking and screaming and had to be forced and people had to plead with him to do it. But what will the impact of that be and what does it tell you? AXELROD: Well, what it tells me is that he was told he couldn't go unless he -- he wore a mask. Look, the point, you know, Ana’s as well -- I hope he comes down here and acts like a president. I -- I don't know if anybody's taking bets on this, but I'm on the other side of that one. I don't think that's going to happen and we know because we've had six months -- or four or five months of experience right now and this has been incredibly damaging because people actually do follow the lead of the President of the United States. When the President of the United States says, oh, if you feel comfortable do it, if you don't feel comfortable don't do it. When he tells his aides privately, I don't want to do it because it makes me look silly, you know, that has an impact. And there is no doubt about it. So perhaps people will take some message from him wearing it at -- at Walter Reed. But my guess is he will send the opposite message in Florida today and he'll continue to do what he's doing which is to be in this land of denial and people will -- too many people will follow his lead and it’s one of the reasons why we are in the jam we're in. NAVARRO: But if he does that in Miami today, David, I'll tell you something, it's criminal. If you take a look at the numbers, over two out of every 100 Miamians from Miami-Dade are suffering with COVID. One out of 100 Floridians. More than 1 out of 100 if you look at the numbers have -- are dealing with COVID. So to come to Florida and not stress the importance of social distancing, washing your hands, wearing your masks, doing the -- the basic things that -- that we should be doing is just -- it’s -- it’s -- I mean, it's more than not presidential, it's criminal. AXELROD: Ana, you don’t -- Ana -- Ana, I agree, but your governor, who is an acolyte of the President, is still saying that this is a function of testing, that we're testing more people. That is clearly not the case. CAMEROTA: Yeah. AXELROD: So, you know, the party line, at least from the White House is to subdue the scientists, kind of withhold information and pretend that this is -- that -- that what you see isn't what-- and what you're experiencing isn't real. And that is -- that is -- is mind-boggling.
