Ana Navarro may spend plenty of time on The View, but she stays busy with work at CNN, too — and she won’t let one particular viewer of her cable news employer forget it.

During this morning’s episode of The View, the panel discussed some bombshell accusations from the book American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady. Katie Rogers’ new release covers first ladies from Hillary Clinton to Jill Biden, but the co-hosts were most interested in the revelations about Melania Trump, who served as first lady between 2016 and 2020 when Donald Trump was president.

While introducing the topic, Joy Behar asked, “She’s stuck with him so far, but if he loses the election, do you think she’ll dump him?”

She then quipped, “She must be sicker of him than we are at this point.”

Navarro then chimed in, “I’m not sure there’s anybody sicker of him than we are.”

While she admitted that she thought Melania “made a deal with the devil” in marrying her husband, Navarro also conceded, “she was publicly humiliated in the process and had every right to be angry,” referring to the hush money deal Trump arranged with Stormy Daniels.

When it was Sunny Hostin‘s turn to share her take, she copped to being “petty” before admitting that she had “enjoyed” reading some of the juicy Melania bits of Rogers’ book.

“Apparently, she likes watching CNN and he likes watching Fox, so there’s a big argument there,” Hostin said with a grin.

Navarro then interjected, “Thank you for the viewership, Melania,” much to the delight of the audience, who laughed at her remark. Navarro has been employed by CNN for years now, and works with the network as a political commentator, where she shares her views on current events and policies as a Republican.

Although Navarro kept mostly quiet for the rest of the segment, she did also mention that she was less interested in Melania’s drama with her husband and more invested in the current White House marriage between Jill and Joe Biden.

“I want to talk about how refreshing it is to see a couple in the White House in Joe and Jill Biden who actually like each other, love each other,” she said.

The View airs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
