Meghan McCain fired back after Ana Navarro — her former cohost on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; — appeared to toss a barb at her from the Hot Topics table on Thursday, accusing her of profiting from &#8220;influence peddling&#8221; in the same way that President Joe Biden&#8217;s embattled son Hunter had.
McCain, who left the show in 2021 due to what she called a &#8220;toxic&#8221; environment on set, took to X to fire back after Navarro made several pointed comments during the midday talk show&#8217;s broadcast.
&#8220;I don’t understand why my former colleagues @TheView @ABC bring me up and slander me on an almost weekly basis,&#8221; McCain posted. &#8220;It has been years — move on, I have.&#8221;
McCain went on to draw a clear line of distinction between her own life and that of Hunter Biden — who is currently at the center of a probe into alleged business dealings with foreign actors and multiple members of the Biden family, the president included.
&#8220;I have never been accused of a crime in my life and am a patriotic American — I would never and have never &#8216;influenced peddled&#8217; in my life, let alone with foreign adversaries. Not all politicians&#8217; children are the same — and I am no Hunter Biden,&#8221; McCain concluded, suggesting that her next step might be to pursue legal action. &#8220;All accusations are absurd, defamatory and slanderous. I will be consulting my lawyers regarding what was libeled against me on The View this morning.&#8221;

McCain was responding to Navarro&#8217;s claim that &#8220;influence peddling&#8221; was so common that even some at &#8220;The View&#8221; were guilty of it — and although she did not say McCain&#8217;s name aloud, the other cohosts immediately seemed to know who she meant.

Navarro began by claiming that Joe Biden&#8217;s only crime was being a &#8220;loving father&#8221; who took good care of Hunter. Then she conceded that Hunter Biden had profited off the Biden family name — but argued that it was not a serious issue since plenty of others had also done so.
&#8220;Look, did Hunter Biden influence-peddle on his last name? Yes, he did. So did half of Washington. People sitting at this table did it!&#8221; Navarro practically shouted.
Alyssa Farah-Griffin, the show&#8217;s newest cohost, asked, &#8220;Who at this table peddled on their last name?&#8221;
&#8220;I’m not talking about currently,&#8221; Navarro said, prompting a series of gasps and laughter from the other cohosts and the audience — which many viewers interpreted as a shot at McCain.
&#8220;&#8216;The View&#8217; throws shade at former co-host Meghan McCain for influence peddling, without even mentioning her by name,&#8221; NBC&#8217;s Mike Sington commented.

During Wednesday&#8217;s episode of &#8220;The View,&#8221; the hosts discussed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ted-cruz-on-palestinian-terror-attack-against-israel-paid-for-by-joe-biden-and-the-democrats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Joe Biden</a>&#8216;s speech condemning the &#8220;brutal&#8221; attacks from Hamas and stating that the United States &#8220;has Israel&#8217;s back.&#8221;
&#8220;There were a lot of things he said which were very important,&#8221; Navarro said. &#8220;There was also something he didn&#8217;t say which was very important. There&#8217;s been many attacks on Israel before. There&#8217;s been many issues in that region before.&#8221;
&#8220;Always the response from around the world has been to Israel, have restraint,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Yesterday, nobody was telling Israel to have restraint. Because you cannot call on Israel to have restraint when 1,200, at least, of their citizens have been slaughtered in the savage, inhumane, cruel, medieval, way that they have been killed.&#8221;

The CNN contributor warned that &#8220;more carnage&#8221; will occur but added that the only people &#8220;who are to blame for all this is Hamas.&#8221;
&#8220;Hamas is going to be the one who is culpable for what&#8217;s going to happen in Gaza. They are holding Gaza hostage.&#8221;
Co-host Sunny Hostin then said she understood people&#8217;s &#8220;anger&#8221; but then claimed that the people of Gaza &#8220;did not vote&#8221; for the current Hamas leadership.
Hamas <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-palestinians-timeline/timeline-key-events-since-2006-hamas-election-victory-idUSL1752364420070620">won</a> the legislative election in 2006 and has ruled the West Bank and the Gaza Strip since.

Hostin then said that when &#8220;you decide to retaliate collectively&#8221; against a &#8220;people&#8221; that is also &#8220;in violation&#8221; of international &#8220;human rights law.&#8221;
The rest of the panel pushed back, noting that Hamas uses its people as &#8220;human shields&#8221; and noted that the Israelis &#8220;are warning all the civilians&#8221; to get out. &#8220;Hamas did nothing of the kind,&#8221; Behar added.
Navarro interjected, &#8220;Sunny, the problem is that Hamas runs Gaza. They are occupied by Hamas.&#8221;

Bob Menendez</a> (D-NJ) &#8220;serious&#8221; and &#8220;troubling&#8221; as she explained that he&#8217;s &#8220;entitled to a presumption of innocence&#8221; amid multiple corruption charges.
The ABC talk show host wrote to her 1.9 million followers on Monday in a post <a href="https://twitter.com/ananavarro/status/1706404183694282897" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on X</a> about how she knows Menendez — after working &#8220;with him on countless issues&#8221; — as the senator faces multiple felonies after he was indicted on bribery charges. He faces charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-congressman-announces-plan-to-challenge-indicted-nj-sen-menendez" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
&#8220;These are serious, troubling allegations,&#8221; Navarro&#8217;s post read. &#8220;It doesn&#8217;t look good. But Bob is entitled to a presumption of innocence. The people of NJ will decide his political future.&#8221;
&#8220;A jury will decide his legal fate,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Corruption, on all sides, in all branches and levels of government, must be eradicated &#8211; whether friend or foe.&#8221;

&nbsp;
Navarro&#8217;s post included a video from her comments she made earlier in the day on the daytime talk show in which she shared she admitted talking about the allegations against her friend was &#8220;not easy&#8221; for her.
&#8220;I have worked with him on many, many issues,&#8221; the co-host said. &#8220;There is not an important issue to the Latino community, there is not an important issue about freedom around the world, about freedom in Latin America that he has not been on the forefront of.&#8221;
&#8220;I can tell you I have worked with him time and time again &#8230; never has there been any hint of impropriety,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Never has he hinted about a payback or anything like that.&#8221;
&#8220;So, I&#8217;m having a very hard time reconciling the evidence I saw shown on TV with the Bob Menendez I have known for almost 30 years,&#8221; Navarro continued. &#8220;This is personally hard for me &#8230; I&#8217;m hoping against hope that there is some sort of logical explanation.&#8221;
The TV host said as hard as it&#8217;s been for her to see the allegations, she also knows Menendez and said he&#8217;s not &#8220;going to resign&#8221; and is &#8220;going to go to trial on this.&#8221;
&#8220;This looks ugly,&#8221; she added. &#8220;This looks bad. This is hard to explain. I can&#8217;t come up with an explanation. But I do think that there is a bigger problem here than Bob Menendez.&#8221;
&#8220;The problem here is Bob Menendez wife cashing in on his name,&#8221; Navarro continued. &#8220;Or [President] Joe Biden&#8217;s son [Hunter Biden] cashing in on his name &#8230; at some point Congress needs to get a hold of this swampiness going on and&#8230; deal with the idea that they can&#8217;t just have their stupid family members making money off their own name.&#8221;
The senator was previously indicted in 2015 on federal corruption charges, but that case ended in a mistrial two years later.

New host Kristen Welker took a virtual barrage of hatred over her maiden voyage at the helm of &#8220;Meet the Press&#8221; — and the cohosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; used Monday&#8217;s broadcast to join the pile-on.
The hate stemmed from the fact that Welker&#8217;s first show featured a one-on-one interview with former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-hits-desantis-for-signing-heartbeat-law-a-terrible-thing-and-a-terrible-mistake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donald Trump</a> — which prompted a number of leftists to call for a boycott of the interview and even of Welker&#8217;s show going forward.
Regular cohost <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ana-navarro-snarks-at-republican-cohost-proving-her-point-about-toxic-femininity" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana Navarro</a> appeared to take a similar position on Monday morning, complaining that when Trump was being interviewed, nobody ever won.
Navarro began by touting Welker&#8217;s accomplishment, taking over the longest-running political show on television and being the first woman of color to do so — and she noted that Welker had gone out of her way to thank the women who had come before her to make that possible.
But then she turned on the host over her decision to interview Trump: &#8220;I wish she had not done a Trump interview as her first one, because I think nobody ever wins with a Trump interview. Nobody looks good because it&#8217;s like — you know, it&#8217;s like interviewing an insane person. Actually, it is interviewing an insane person.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Alyssa Farah Griffin praised Welker as &quot;one of the best interviewers out there&quot; and commended her on getting Trump to &quot;basically confess to a crime.&quot; She also said Trump&#39;s interview proved &quot;He&#39;s not mentally equipped&quot; for a second crack at the job. <a href="https://t.co/VhSF41owvx">pic.twitter.com/VhSF41owvx</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin weighed in as well, saying that Welker truly deserved the position and was &#8220;one of the best interviewers out there.&#8221;
Griffin went on to say that she believed Americans needed to hear from Trump — and argued that Welker had gotten him to &#8220;basically confess to a crime&#8221; during the interview when she got him to admit that he &#8220;needed votes&#8221; to win in 2020.
But the real takeaway, according to Griffin, was the way Trump handled answering questions under pressure. &#8220;In the course of like 30 seconds, he said we&#8217;re about to spark World War Two, he was convinced he was running against Barack Obama, so I would just like to say for the record, he&#8217;s only a couple of years younger, he&#8217;s not mentally equipped, but he&#8217;s also unfit character-wise,&#8221; she said.

In a nationally-seen confession, Ana Navarro of ABC’s “The View” admitted she acts like an animal when she’s near Florida GOP governor Ron DeSantis.
Navarro referred to Florida’s HB 1557, which leftists manipulatively called the  “Don&#8217;t Say Gay” bill.

In March 2022, DeSantis stated of the bill, “Clearly, right now, we see a lot of focus on the transgenderism – telling kids that they may be able to pick genders and all that. I don’t think parents want that for these young kids, and so I think that’s what they were trying to do, and I think that’s justifiable.&#8221;
“I think it’s inappropriate to be injecting those matters, like transgenderism, into a kindergarten classroom,” he continued. “At the same time, if you oppose that, you have a responsibility to be honest about it &#8230; you can create a false narrative, you can stage a protest, you can do all those things, but you’re not telling the truth about what’s actually there.”
Later that month, a reporter asked DeSantis whether he supported the legislation, which was on the Florida Senate floor at the time. The reporter noted that leftists had renamed it the &#8220;Don&#8217;t Say Gay&#8221; bill.
“Does it say that that in the bill?” DeSantis asked.
“I know that you support —” the reporter blustered.
“Does it say that in the bill?” DeSantis repeated.
“I&#8217;m asking — ” the reporter pressed, but DeSantis interjected, “I’m asking you to tell me what&#8217;s in the bill, because you are pushing false narratives. It doesn&#8217;t matter what critics say.”
“It bans classroom instruction on sexual identity and gender orientation,” the reporter claimed.
“For who?” DeSantis asked. “For grades pre-k through three. So five-year-olds, six-year-olds, seven-year-olds — and the idea that you wouldn’t be honest about that and tell people what it actually says, it’s why people don&#8217;t trust people like you because you peddle false narratives.”
“So we disabuse you of those narratives — and we&#8217;re going to make sure that parents are able to send their kid to kindergarten without having some of this stuff injected into their school curriculum,” DeSantis declared.

Presidential hopeful <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/jake-tapper-admits-there-is-a-very-ugly-side-of-the-left-that-shows-up-when-nikki-haley-runs-for-office" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nikki Haley</a> said Tuesday that President Joe Biden seems to be putting his troubled son Hunter ahead of the nation he is supposed to be leading.
The former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and South Carolina governor joined Fox News host Sandra Smith on &#8220;America Reports,&#8221; where she responded to people claiming that President Biden&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prosecutor-reportedly-told-six-witnesses-he-was-not-permitted-to-charge-hunter-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">continued support</a> of his son was simply evidence of what a loving father he is.

Smith set the scene by playing a clip from ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/this-is-yalls-fault-whoopi-goldberg-blames-the-view-audience-for-hilarious-verbal-slip" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>,&#8221; during which Ana Navarro claimed that through all the allegations of corruption — specifically of Hunter Biden trading on his father&#8217;s name and influence so that the whole family could profit — the real takeaway was that Joe Biden would never give up on his son because he was a father before he was anything else.
&#8220;She and &#8216;The View&#8217; are making the case that this is about a father&#8217;s love — as the president continues to deny any knowledge of his son&#8217;s business dealings, which we have very vague details of,&#8221; Smith said, turning the question to Haley: &#8220;Where does this go, Ambassador?&#8221;
&#8220;First of all, let&#8217;s say, okay, so is the love for his son greater than the love for his country?&#8221; Haley asked. &#8220;Because that&#8217;s what it looks like.&#8221;
&#8220;It smells bad, Sandra. I mean, you know, before you could say, oh, maybe it was nothing. There&#8217;s clearly something there,&#8221; Haley continued. &#8220;And there&#8217;s clearly something that needs to be found out. This is about accountability. Whether it&#8217;s a Republican or a Democrat, we&#8217;ve got to have accountability. If you don&#8217;t address this, it will happen again.&#8221;
Haley continued to stress the importance of holding all leaders accountable, arguing that a situation in which people believed the President of the United States might be compromised was untenable.
&#8220;I think if the Department of Justice can&#8217;t handle this, Congress is right to step forward,&#8221; she added.

Ana Navarro, a co-host on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; claimed on Monday that a person being black or Hispanic does not mean that they can&#8217;t become a white supremacist.
Navarro made the remarks after fellow leftist co-host Sunny Hostin said that the Latino male who killed several people at a mall in Texas over the weekend was a white supremacist.
“But this shooter who happened to be Hispanic and Latino, which is very bizarre to me, had a white supremacy moniker on him,” Hostin said, before noting that FBI Director Christopher Wray has said that white supremacist violence is a serious threat in the U.S.
&#8220;We all have to remember that the head of the Proud Boys, his name is Enrique Tarrio,&#8221; Navarro said. &#8220;The Proud Boys is a white nationalist group. Look, being Hispanic or being black does not, or being anything, does not make you immune from being racist, from being radicalized, from being a white supremacist, from being evil, from being homicidal. And we are seeing it over and over again. There are people, you know, they they don&#8217;t see themselves as what they are.&#8221;
Navarro doubled down on her claim online when a clip of her remarks garnered significant attention.
&#8220;WHERE IS THE LIE?&#8221; Navarro <a href="https://twitter.com/ananavarro/status/1655667967747833856">tweeted</a>. &#8220;The former leader of the Proud Boys, Enrique Tarrio, convicted last week of seditious conspiracy, is Afro-Latino. Having Hispanic blood or Black blood does not mean you cannot fancy yourself a white-nationalist, and spread hate.&#8221;

<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/alyssa-farah-griffin/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alyssa Farah Griffin</a>, Republican cohost of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View,&#8221; was talking about women attacking other women when cohost <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/nfl-owner-jerry-jones-was-photographed-in-1957-65-years-later-ana-navarro-is-demanding-answers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana Navarro</a> interrupted her to make a snide comment about former White House adviser Kellyanne Conway — immediately proving Griffin&#8217;s point.
Griffin made the comments during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of the midday talk show — which, with the exception of guests, is entirely hosted by women — and she argued that women still have room for improvement when it comes to supporting each other and having each other&#8217;s backs.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Griffin began by saying that she appreciated how far society had come in calling out certain male behaviors that were — in her words — &#8220;unhelpful.&#8221; And while she noted that women had also come a long way with regard to being more supportive of each other, she went on to say that she could certainly see room for improvement.

&#8220;I think that women have made a ton of progress, but we can also be each other&#8217;s worst enemies,&#8221; Griffin said. &#8220;It&#8217;s still the case and I hate to say it. Some of the worst bosses I&#8217;ve had have been women, and sometimes colleagues in the workplace who are women, and I always think of the Madeleine Albright quote, —&#8221;
&#8220;Well, that&#8217;s what happens when you work with Kellyanne Conway,&#8221; Navarro interrupted.
&#8220;Well, I can&#8217;t really get a word in without you attacking me,&#8221; Griffin shot back. &#8220;So I wouldn&#8217;t say this is a totally different —&#8221;
&#8220;I haven&#8217;t attacked you,&#8221; Navarro interrupted again.
&#8220;— this isn’t like a totally different environment of women supporting each other. But Madeleine Albright always said, ‘There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help and support other women.&#8217; That’s something I try to live by. I think that we have a duty to kind of give that back especially for the women who come after us,&#8221; Griffin finished.
And Griffin isn&#8217;t the only one to notice a toxic environment on the ABC show. Former cohost Candace Cameron Bure <a href="https://ew.com/tv/candace-cameron-bure-ptsd-hosting-the-view/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reflected</a> on her time at &#8220;The View&#8221; and said that there were times when, as the only conservative on the panel, she felt like a &#8220;punching bag.&#8221;
&#8220;When I felt like I was going into a show that I didn&#8217;t have a clear opinion about or it was something that I was legitimately nervous to talk about because I did have an opinion about it but I knew I was the only one at the table that had my opinion, I would just get sick to my stomach. I hated that feeling. And then I&#8217;m like, &#8216;I don&#8217;t know who&#8217;s going to come at me,'&#8221; she said, adding that she had ultimately left because she &#8220;did not want to be the punching bag for the next four years in that conservative seat.&#8221;

Ana Navarro Snarks At Republican Cohost, Proving Her Point About ‘Toxic Femininity’

Ana Navarro Snarks At Republican Cohost In Segment About 'Toxic Femininity'

<a href="http://www.dailywire.com/topic/ana-navarro/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana Navarro</a> said Friday that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones should be called to account for his appearance in a 1957 photo of a desegregation protest.
<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/01/sport/lebron-james-jerry-jones-photo-intl-spt/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jones</a>, who was 14 years old at the time the photo was taken outside North Little Rock High School, can be seen standing in the crowd as a group of white students appeared to be blocking several black students from entering the building. Several reporters and photographers are also visible in the image, speaking to students as the protest goes on.
The photo was <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/interactive/2022/jerry-jones-black-coaches-nfl/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">published</a> last week by The Washington Post in an article attacking Jones for failing to do enough to end racial disparities within the NFL — and Navarro called on Jones to answer for it.

The conversation during Friday&#8217;s broadcast began around anti-Semitism and recent remarks from rapper Kanye &#8220;Ye&#8221; West and quickly turned to an attack on billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk and his recent acquisition of Twitter.
&#8220;Anti-Semitic posts referring to Jews or Judaism soared more than 81% in the two weeks after Elon Musk acquired Twitter,&#8221; <a href="https://dailywire.com/news/that-really-makes-me-nuts-joy-behar-ties-colorado-springs-shooting-to-lauren-boeberts-2021-christmas-photo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joy Behar</a> alleged without presenting evidence.
Co-host Sunny Hostin agreed, claiming — also without evidence — that attacks against black people and women had also risen in the days since Musk&#8217;s purchase was completed.
Navarro pivoted, however, and after only briefly addressing anti-Semitism, turned the attack on Jerry Jones.
Noting that NBA star LeBron James had mentioned the Jerry Jones photo — asking why everyone wanted to talk to him about Kyrie Irving and his anti-Semitic tweets, but no one was asking him about Jones being present at a desegregation protest — Navarro argued that Jones should be doing more to rectify the situation.
&#8220;I hope that Jerry Jones, who has so many black players, who has such a platform, who has all this money, who&#8217;s got all this access, I hope Jerry jones really does take the opportunity to own this, to talk about it, to explain it, and talk about the change that has happened in 65 years and his role in it,&#8221; Navarro challenged.
Hostin noted that Jones had spoken about the photo, saying that he had gone to the front of the school that day to observe and that he was 14 years old at the time.
&#8220;I don’t know that I or anybody anticipated or had a background of knowing … what was involved. It was more a curious thing,&#8221; Jones said of his presence at the protest.
But then Hostin added that there were also 14-year-olds in the KKK, complaining that people did not get as animated in pushing back against &#8220;anti-blackness&#8221; as they did against anti-Semitism.

&#8220;The View&#8221; cohosts admitted they couldn&#8217;t even show the Balenciaga &#8220;fetish themed&#8221; ad on their show Monday during a discussion about the fashion house&#8217;s marketing campaign featuring children holding teddy bears that were wearing bondage gear.

Do you remember when Kim [Kardashian] was dressed in Balenciaga for the Met Gala.&#8221;
The clip then went to a snap of the reality star covered head to toe in a black outfit, and Hostin remarked that Kardashian &#8220;looked like a bat.&#8221;

BALENCIAGA PULLS AD CAMPAIGN AFTER BACKLASH: The luxury brand has issued an apology for its recent advertisements featuring children with sexualized teddy bears – <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/TheView?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#TheView</a> co-hosts react to the controversial ads and Kim Kardashian’s response. <a href="https://t.co/Lf4LGBCI2E">https://t.co/Lf4LGBCI2E</a> <a href="https://t.co/j7QUbiYu3Q">pic.twitter.com/j7QUbiYu3Q</a>

&#8220;So they are, I don&#8217;t know what they&#8217;re doing,&#8221; she added. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know if their intent is to be subversive and draw attention to the issues. Or are they just making ugly things.&#8221;
Ana Navarro asked how Balenciaga could now &#8220;sue somebody when they designed a bag for their holiday season.&#8221;
&#8220;The bag is shaped like a teddy bear wearing bondage gear,&#8221; Navarro added. &#8220;Now, it takes hundreds of people in a fashion house like Balenciaga to approve a design. To approve an ad campaign. So, I&#8217;m sorry you guys, I know you&#8217;re trying to cover your a**, but you got bigger problems then&#8230; you got to look inside your house, because you&#8217;ve got people who are not doing their job well. Who have no damn common sense.&#8221;
At one point, the cohosts talked about how Kardashian has since spoken out about the ad and said it might be time to re-evaluate her relationship with the fashion house, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kim-kardashian-slammed-for-statement-over-balenciaga-scandal-there-is-no-grey-area-here">reported</a>.
&#8220;As a mother of four, I have been shaken by the disturbing images,&#8221; Kardashian shared previously.  &#8220;The safety of children must be held with the highest regard and any attempts to normalize child abuse of any kind should have no place in our society — period.&#8221;
&#8220;I appreciate Balenciaga&#8217;s removal of the campaigns and apology,&#8221; she added. &#8220;In speaking with them, I believe they understand the seriousness of the issue and will take the necessary measures for this to never happen again. As for my future with Balenciaga, I am currently re-evaluating my relationship with the brand, basing it off their willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with — &amp; the actions I am expecting to see them take to protect children.&#8221;
The fashion house apologized and is taking legal action against its production company, Hostin noted.  She then shared that the set designer released a statement saying &#8220;everyone&#8221; at Balenciaga was on the shoot&#8221; and &#8220;worked on the edit of every image.&#8221;
