Ana Navarro Faces Backlash for Getting a Little Too Close to Barack Obama at the DNC
Ana Navarro, known for her sharp wit and political commentary on The View, stirred up quite the controversy recently after posting a photo of herself fixing former President Barack Obama’s tie. The image, which was taken during the second night of the Democratic National Convention (DNC), has left many people feeling some type of way.
In the now-viral image, Navarro, with her dog Chacha by her side, is seen adjusting Obama’s tie as if she were his wife. She captioned the post, “Somebody had to fix his tie, so Chacha and I pitched in,” which only added fuel to the fire. Social media users were quick to point out the apparent over-familiarity, with some even suggesting the gesture was disrespectful given that Michelle Obama was present at the event.
Among those who voiced their disapproval was April Reign, the activist behind the #OscarsSoWhite movement. Reign did not hold back, criticizing Navarro for overstepping boundaries. She pointed out that it was “out of bounds” for Navarro to act so casually with the former president, especially with Michelle Obama nearby. Reign’s comments echoed the sentiments of many online who found Navarro’s actions inappropriate.
While some have brushed off the incident as harmless, noting Navarro’s longstanding friendship with the Obamas, the majority of reactions were not so forgiving. Critics accused her of disrespect and overstepping her role, especially as someone who didn’t even vote for Obama during his presidency. It’s clear that this small act of adjusting a tie has stirred up a lot more than Ana Navarro might have anticipated (AllHipHop) (theJasmineBRAND) (AceShowbiz) (AllHipHop).
