Ana Navarro was having none of Ted Cruz‘s bullsh*t during his appearance on yesterday’s episode of The View.
The two Republicans butted heads throughout the interview, with Navarro questioning his character for supporting Donald Trump even after the ex-president called his wife ugly, as well as grilling him on his commitment the U.S. Constitution and whether he believes Joe Biden fairly won the 2020 presidential election. (Spoiler alert: Cruz refused to say.)

But the moment that’s been going the most viral today is the tense exchange that happened after Cruz, who was there to promote his crappy new book, was asked about insurrectionists who raided the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to stop the 2020 presidential election results from being certified.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The anti-LGBTQ senator went on a wild and barely coherent tangent about everyone from Hillary Clinton to Al Gore, his voice growing increasingly louder, until Navarro finally jumped in to tell him to kindly lower the volume.

“You just said we don’t scream at each other, right?” she said. “Or is it just you that gets to scream? … Lower your voice because we are very close to one another.”
Watch.

Cruz’s disastrous appearance on The View came one day after he was booed and told to “go back to Cancun” by fans during Sunday’s MLB World Series game at Yankee Stadium.
@eitanthegoalie Ted Cruz walking through #Yankee Stadium was a beautiful moment for #NewYork #nyc #eitanthegoalie
NY Mag reports:
New Yorkers’ hatred of Cruz is well earned. The Texas Republican had the gall to rail against a Superstorm Sandy relief bill, then claim he “enthusiastically” supported aid for victims in New York and New Jersey years later when his own state needed federal help after Hurricane Harvey. Plus he made attacking “New York values” a recurring theme of his unsuccessful 2016 presidential campaign.
Twitter has been having a field day with Navarro putting Cruz in his place. Here’s what they’re saying…
Ana Navarro is not having ANY of Ted Cruz's shit today. She just pointed out his screaming too.

Once again, Ted Cruz surprises no one with his absolute lack of integrity.

Ana Navarro reminded Cruz Bluto called his wife ugly, his father an assassin & called Bluto "a pathological liar"…asked him what what changed…
Cruz claimed it was because he did a wonderful job as POTUS…DOLT!— Joe Fink – Working for women/minority/LGBTQIA! (@JoeFink) October 24, 2022

Ana Navarro is such a mood reminding Ted Cruz that his wife was called ugly by the guy that he’s defending.

@TheView Ana Navarro won in confronting Ted Cruz. I wish everybody had held him to account better. Many don't understand you have to ask your question, then stay silent and wait for the answer.

The View really only allows three viewpoints: Moderate, Moderate Conservative and Batshit crazy conservative. Everyone on the panel previously attacked Assange, government whistleblowers and publishers that print the history of our out-of-control military. The drone policy of shoot first, not ask questions and cover-up hundreds of incidents is their preference. The ladies pretending to be on the left are just neoliberals – not a progressive on the panel in 27 years!
While the producers pretend to be on the ‘left’ they consistently support privatization, deregulation, globalization, free trade, monetarism, austerity, and reductions in government spending in order to increase the role of the private sector in the economy and society – the MIC is clearly in charge here.

One question that she could have asked is whey Mr. Cruz, son of a Cuban, whey he systematically refuses to answer any question in Spanish — for fear of making it glaringly evident that he is Hispanic?
