The ladies of “The View” wasted no time diving into the details of Britney Griner’s release on December 12. And while all of the hosts had different opinions about the outcome, Ana Navarro’s stance has caught people’s attention. In an attempt to seemingly denounce people who claimed Griner’s release hinged on “identity politics,” Navarro seemed to inadvertently agree, in part, with the detractors. “It really also irritated me how they tried to make it, you know, that so-called identity politics,” started Navarro. “‘Oh, they’re doing this because the progressive groups are pushing because she’s Black because she’s gay. Yeah, you know what? Because she’s Black, because she’s gay, because she’s 7-foot tall, they had her in a cage!” she continued. Moderator Whoopi Goldberg interjected at this, point, clarifying, “And because she’s an American — don’t forget that!”

Now that Navarro’s soundbite has made its way to Twitter, people have thoughts. “Didn’t realize there were race, sexual orientation, and height requirements for prisoner exchanges,” tweeted one user, alongside a quote of Navarro’s comment. Another user simply tweeted, “Wild thought process.” Meanwhile, one user snidely called Navarro out on seemingly getting Griner’s height wrong. “She’s only 6’9, @ananavarro, you agent of misinformation …” tweeted Dave Rubin.
