Two panelists on “The View” don’t share the same view when it comes to Greenland and Venezuela.
Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin went head to head Friday over the possibility of the U.S. taking over Greenland after capturing Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela, per Mediaite.
Hostin started the conversation when she asked why the operation in Venezuela was “OK, but Greenland isn’t?”
Navarro was not on favor of equating the two countries and said, “I love you, but making a comparison between —”
Hostin interrupted, “I know you disagree, but it’s unlawful.”
“Let’s look at some facts,” Navarro said. “Venezuela is a dictatorship, Greenland is not.”
“My point is, we cannot make an equivalency between Greenland and Venezuela. So let’s just not, because we lose a point if we do that,” Navarro said.
“No, we don’t. The law is the law. It is an unlawful thing that we did in Venezuela and it would be unlawful for us to do it in Greenland,” said Hostin, a former federal prosecutor.
“No, listen, [Sen. Thom] Tillis had it exactly right. What’s happened now —,” Navarro said.
“Well, I think you’re wrong,” Hostin retorted.
Watch:
“I think you’re wrong, but let me tell you what Tillis did. Tillis said, because Trump now feels — Trump has this emboldened and empowered by what he thinks is a successful mission in Venezuela. Now he thinks he’s —,” Navarro said.
Hostin added, “He can be lawless now.”
“— entitled to be out there like Charlemagne, like Napoleon, like Caesar. and conquer the world. Here’s my finish issue, I don’t consider the Venezuela mission accomplished or a victorious mission until every single political prisoner is released,” Navarro continued. “Until there’s free and fair elections. Until there are no foreign hostages. Until there is democracy and freedom.”
“Do you think it’s okay for the oil —,” Hostin started.
“Maduro stole it!” Navarro said.
“That’s legal?” Hostin asked.
Hostin then said Maduro “should be tried in the international criminal court. I don’t think the United States has jurisdiction over him.”
When Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sara Haines, and Joy Behar agreed with Navarro, Hostin complained, “Everybody is OK with breaking the law!”
