CNN’s Ana Navarro Blasted As Racist Over Black Trump Supporter Tweet

On Monday, CNN host and #NeverTrump “Republican” Ana Navarro ripped into black Americans who support President Donald Trump in a nasty tweet many deemed racist.
Following reports that black support for the president is on the rise, Navarro lost it, posting a tweet denigrating black Trump supporters and denying the legitimacy of the poll.
“Zero chance this is accurate. Zero,” she wrote. “The poll must have only been conducted in the homes of Ben Carson, Kanye, that sheriff guy with the hat and those two Cubic Zirconia & Polyester-Spandex ladies.”
Ms. Navarro was apparently speaking of the duo known as “Diamond and Silk” with her “Cubic Zirconia & Polyester-Spandex” jab.
As reported by The Daily Wire on Monday, black Trump support is indeed on the rise, even if Navarro doesn’t like such a reality.
“Two polls released in the last week have confirmed what Republicans hope and Democrats fear: support in the black community for President Trump is rising,” The Daily Wire’s Hank Berrien reported. “On Monday, Rasmussen reports noted, ‘ICYMI: Last Friday we showed Black Likely Voter approval for [President Trump] at 34%. We then found out that a recent widely quoted [Emerson Polling] Registered Voters based poll showed Black Voter approval for [the president] at 34.5%.'”
“The Emerson Poll, released November 21, indeed showed Trump with 34.5% of black registered voter approval. RedState noted, ‘Thirty four percent approval for President Donald Trump. And that’s not an outlier with other Rasmussen tallies, the average has actually gone up since last year when it was in the 20s,‘” Berrien outlined.
Navarro’s apparent fear of black Trump support is further evidence by RealClear Politics reporting in October of 2018: “Even 20% African-American support for Trump would all but dismantle Democratic Party presidential hopes for 2020. Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election with 88% of the black vote. That was about a six-point falloff from Barack Obama’s share of the black vote in 2012,” the report said.
And though Navarro’s panic might be understandable, her nasty commentary was not to most folks. Politicos online, including Diamond and Silk themselves, responded to the post, blasting the CNN contributor for her “racism.”
“Ana Navarro sure doesn’t like black people who think differently than she wants them to,” “Rubin Report” host Dave Rubin wrote. “(And she had the nerve to call me racist a few weeks ago.)”
“Latinos for Trump” leader Marco Gutierrez posted: “[Ana Navarro] has her back back full of scars from all the miscalculations on Latinos in the 2016 election! Now she thinks she is got a shot underestimating the #BlackVoicesforTrump! Can she handle being wrong again after [President Trump] victory in 2020? Idk! #CeguaAmargada.”
Radio personality David Webb, who happens to be black, said of Navarro: “You’re an obnoxious self-important fraud who pushes identity politics just like [Areva Martin]. Being Hispanic doesn’t give you the right to insult blacks. We can think for ourselves.”
“Beware of Deep State Snakes like Porky The Pig masquerading around like a Republican but acting like a Democrat rat,” the pro-Trump duo shot back at Navarro. “Shame on her for insulting black people because they choose to think for themselves & make their own decision to ditch the Democrat Plantation. #StopbeingARacist.”

The 2020 election should be a very interesting election in many ways.
Ana Navarro seems to think black Americans can be easily manipulated. Will Black Americans finally prove Navarro wrong? Will a significant number vote on genuine personal interests such as endorsing a vibrant economy which has benefited all people and/or the school choice offered by the GOP?
Rules of civility apply
GAME OVER.
The race card? Again? And Again?
Dems will lose in 2020 and black Americans will be a big part of it.
Happy Thanksgiving
I am sure that will work.
You expect black people to forget that Trump set himself up as leader of the racist birther movement Vic? Thats hilarious.
Questioning "Area of Birth" is racist ?
Wasn't Barracks mother ….. WHITE ?
Trying to FALSELY delegitimize the first black president is racist, yes.
No other sitting president in US history was asked to prove who he was.
It's sad and a black mark on America that we have to go over this a thousand times.
I suspect black people may actually think for themselves.
I thought Bill Clinton was the first black president.
Why are you again ( see comment 1.1 ) bringing up a topic that started with Hillary supporters over a decade ago?
Millions of voters, including black voters, are fully aware that Hillary Clinton's supporters started Obama birther movement in 2008.
Black people as a group don't care. Besides, it was Hillary who started that story. And his real father was Frank Marshall Davis, not some African guy, as so stated on the long form birth certificate.
Please tell us all the good things that Democrats have done for minorities in the last three years except make empty promises...also called lies.
Jasper, Donald Trump announced his birther crusade in 2011. Hillary Clinton's supporters from 2008 have nothing to do with it. Or does he always do what Hillary Clinton supporters tell him to do?
Worse, Trump knew or should have known that the state of Hawaii had already OFFCIALLY said that Trump was born in Hawaii (and they had the birth certificate to prove it) well before Trump started up with the birther nonsense.
see 1.1.10
And yet you have no problem with states requiring candidates SHOW THEIR TAXES to be on the ballot.

Maddow already got 'em, and showed them on National Television. Boy...did she have mud on her face over that "Revelation" she and MSNBC pushed for days !
There's no "LAW" that says anyone running for President.....MUST show their tax returns !
“As we reported, some of her supporters flirted with the idea in 2008 — but it has its origins in the fever swamps beginning in Illinois in 2004,” he said.
In fact, birtherism, as it’s been called, reportedly began with innuendo by serial Illinois political candidate Andy Martin, who painted Obama as a closet Muslim in 2004. That spiraled into a concerted effort by conspiracy theorists to raise doubts about Obama’s birthplace and religion — and essentially paint him as un-American.
Later, in the spring 2008, as Clinton’s chances of winning the Democratic primary grew thin, some of her hardcore supporters circulated rumors that Obama may not be a U.S. citizen, picking up on some of Martin’s innuendo and extending it further.
“Barack Obama’s mother was living in Kenya with his Arab-African father late in her pregnancy. She was not allowed to travel by plane then, so Barack Obama was born there and his mother then took him to Hawaii to register his birth,” read one of those emails posted, at the time, by Snopes.com, a site that attempts to debunk internet rumors.
Seek and you shall learn.
Gosh !
The "Deep State Regulars"" must be pissed.
Are you aware that the private investigators that Trump sent to Hawaii to track down Obama's birth certificate went native?
We have been over this plenty of times.
You dont know what you are talking about.
Let's assume for the sake of argument that Hillary Clinton herself started birtherism. What the heck would that have to do with Trump bringing it up 3 or 4 years later? After the state of Hawaii OFFCIALLY announced that they had his Hawaii birth certificate, not once, but twice.
Do I have to post the state of Hawaii announcement again? All of it came priort to Trump in 2011. Is he a moron? The governor and the health dept of the state says there is nothing to this, and he does it anyway?
Get a fricking grip 1st, you have no argument to make about this.
That's a pretty narrowly focused disclaimer. Is that because you know that several presidential candidates have had their citizenship qualifications questioned?
Maybe not sitting but there have been questions in the past............
· Martin Van Buren - First Language Dutch was Dutch and people thought he might have been born in Holland.
· Chester A . Arthur - born in Northern Vermont, near the Canadian border and parents lived in Canada for many years and his father was born in Ireland.
Presidential Candidates who have had their Citizenship Questioned
· Christopher Schurmann 1896 Election
· Charles Evans Hughes 1916 Election
· George Romney 1968 Election
· Barry Goldwater 1964 Election
· Lowell Weicker 1980 Election
· Roger Calero 2004 and 2008
· John McCain 2000 and 2008
They have forgotten that -
He didn't like a black man as one of his accountants and preferred the guys with the little hats.
He said that blacks are born inherently lazy.
I expect that black Americans can judge for themselves what they have received from this President via jobs. opportunity and his advocacy for school choice, rather than the standard serving of what the problem is by democrats who have done nothing for the votes they get from the black community.
"She dared call the token Republican minorities 'Tokens'! Get her!" /s
I found this line hilarious:
Calling "Ben Carson, Kanye," by their names and referring to "that sheriff guy with the hat" is losing it?
And even the very funny jab about "those two Cubic Zirconia & Polyester-Spandex ladies" was making fun of their chosen handles "Diamond and silk" so the joke was not racial in any way.
I thought her tweet was funny and likely true, and it's a far cry from telling the largest black community in America it's "rat infested" or calling Mexicans "rapists". It's no secret that Republicans have a HUGE problem winning over minority voters, likely because Republicans have been caught time and again trying to disenfranchise poor and minority voters and they very rarely support minority candidates. So perhaps Republicans should focus less on being outraged over Democrats pointing out how little diversity is within the Republican party and more on appealing to minority voters by caring about their needs as well. I know it would be a shift from the legacy of the southern strategy Republicans employed from the 1960's till today, but when we see things like the tiki torch marchers in Charlottesville where those chanting "Jews will not replace us!" while waving confederate flags and swastikas where many were also wearing MAGA hats making no secret about what side they were on, you would think a responsible political party would denounce such members. Instead their party leader called them "fine people".
So here we have the faux outrage from Trump supporters trying so hard to find anything to complain about claiming a tweet from a liberal using people names and a mildly funny joke is "denigrating" and "losing it", while at the same time they continually defend the Presidents 13,000 + lies, his vile attacks on women, minorities, the media and democrats, his calling ally African countries "shitholes" and black communities here in America "rat infested" but none of his tone deaf followers even notice. I guess they hadn't been given their talking points by their masters yet, it's way to much to hope they'd actually think for themselves for once.
…. #minoritiesmatter person....yet thinks it's funny if the "Other" minorities are chastised and nicknamed !
If you're a black American voting for the party who was caught by the courts targeting "African-Americans with almost surgical precision," with their voter ID laws with the specific intention to disenfranchise black and minority voters simply because they traditionally vote for Democrats., perhaps you deserve to be chastised. As for the nicknames, they gave themselves nick names, the tweet merely poked fun at their chosen nicknames and was not racially motivated in the slightest. To see so many conservatives jump to their defense is also very funny to watch. It's like watching an out-of-touch parent pretend to be into the same things their teen is into and vociferously defend one of their teens hobbies that they obviously know nothing about. "Yeah, don't be dissin my chillaxin besties yo, gotta be body-positive, we all down with the kids and minorities, hash tag Wokepublicans!"...
I've voted since I was allowed to, and have NEVER had a problem what-so-ever !
Bullshit. Plain and simple. Only an excuse for laziness.............oh and LOSSES!!
I have no problem with that.
Especially the women & abortion thing, not a woman?, stay out of the conversation.
Not black?, stay out of the conversation.
The problem with this seed though, is that Anna is a conservative, Republican strategist who many people,
consider 'colored', not white.
I cannot find anything where she claims to be either or, or anything other than Nicaraguan American;
maybe she considers herself a minority member and thinks she can talk about other minorities any way she likes.
I see where she has recently gone off on Stephen Miller for his perceived racism against Central Americans
and was attacked for being antisemitic by the usual crowd.
But she definitely is no white liberal.
First, I think that many other people who aren't black experience racism, so that's a rather ridiculous statement. I do agree with being a better person, however, which is why I don't support the Republican voter ID laws and the motives behind them as found in court.
In its ruling, the appeals court said the law was intentionally designed to discriminate against black people. North Carolina (Republican) legislators had requested data on voting patterns by race and, with that data in hand , drafted a law that would " target African-Americans with almost surgical precision ," the court said.
"That fight began in 2013, when the state made cuts to early voting, created a photo ID requirement and eliminated same-day registration, out-of-precinct voting and preregistration of high school students.
"More than half of all voters there use early voting, and African-Americans do so at higher rates than whites. African-Americans also tend to overwhelmingly vote for Democrats."
"The U.S. Supreme Court has once again declined to reinstate North Carolina's strict voter ID law, which was struck down last year after a court ruled it was intentionally designed to stop African-Americans from voting."
I think the courts ruling is something every American who supports diversity, equality and justice for all would agree with, especially those trying to "be a better person".
Well the topic is her...so yes, we are talking about her.
Are you kidding me? White people invented racism, didn't they? I am uber qualified IMHO.
Always trying everyday, despite what NT members might think.
Please let me extend my best wishes to you and your family on this Thanksgiving weekend.
Go Bills !
Go Bears!
Keep it up. Keep telling people they should think and vote a certain way based on their physical characteristics. Keep treating them as a color instead of people. See how that works out for you in the long run.
I think more and more people have to come to realize that Democratic promises to minorities are empty ones and that many people in that party are every bit as racist as they accuse Republicans of being.
My hope is that we will see an expanding trend where voters look at what's real and vote based on that instead of invented outrage.
Everyone should agree with that.
My hope is that people will vote for the most qualified and not because of a D or an R behind their name.
that sheriff guy with the hat
Is she referring to the sheriff they call Big John? If it is him, he was recently killed in the line of duty.
No, Milwaukee Sheriff David Clark.
Thank you for the name. That cleared it up for me.
