During Monday’s airing of ABC’s The View, host Ana Navarro led her co-hosts in relishing that President Donald Trump and his Cabinet “felt the fear” of death during Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting, and might now be more open to gun control.
Newsbusters managing editor Curtis Houck posted an excerpt from the Disney-owned talk show, in which Navarro expressed bewilderment that Congress did not pass gun control after the December 14, 2012, Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. She then added, “But maybe now, that they have felt the fear themselves, they will do something.”
Navarro talked about the “important political leaders” who were at the White House Correspondents dinner and said, “Now they know, they’ve lived it in their own flesh, the fear that our school children go through.”
As Navarro talked, viewers could hear other hosts saying “yes” in agreement.
Breitbart News noted that Pennsylvania state Rep. and former Democratic Party Vice Chair Malcolm Kenyatta pushed a ban on “military-grade weapons” on Sunday, which was the day after the WHCD attack.
Kenyatta did not mention that the alleged WHCD attacker used a shotgun and pistol, neither of which were “military-grade weapons.” Therefore, the ban he proposed would not have prevented or even hindered the attack.
