<p><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ana-navarro" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ana Navarro</a> argued on Tuesday that Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) was a solid choice to be President-elect Donald Trump&#8217;s Secretary of State — but just a few months ago, she was singing a very different tune.</p>
<p>Navarro joined her cohosts on ABC&#8217;s midday talk show &#8220;The View,&#8221; where they discussed the appointments Trump has made since winning both the Electoral College and the popular vote in last Tuesday&#8217;s election. Navarro suggested that despite her opposition to Trump, Rubio was at least a choice that she could get behind.</p>
<p>Whoopi Goldberg opened the discussion with a clip of Rubio from the 2016 Republican primary — when the Florida senator had been campaigning against Trump for the GOP nomination — despite the fact that, in the years since, Rubio and Trump got past any differences and worked together during the first Trump administration.</p>

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve known Marco Rubio for a very long time,&#8221; Navarro said. &#8220;He and I grew up in Republican politics in Miami together &#8230; He&#8217;s changed a lot, he probably thinks I have, too. But I will say this: Marco is qualified. He&#8217;s been on foreign relations in the Senate for many years. I&#8217;m happy because he knows Latin America, which for me, is a region that&#8217;s often forgotten. He speaks Spanish, he knows who these leaders are, he knows what the issues are.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think he&#8217;s gonna come in hot on places like Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua, which I care about enormously,&#8221; said Navarro, whose parents fled Nicaragua when she was young, said that the appointment had surprised her.</p>

<p>Just five months earlier, Navarro had previously referenced the fact that she&#8217;d known Rubio for a long time — but at the time, she was not touting his qualifications so much as she was trashing him outright.</p>
<p>Navarro made the comments for an <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/media/the-view-host-ana-navarro-warns-marco-rubio-he-knows-i-know-where-skeletons-hidden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">episode</a> of &#8220;Behind the Table&#8221; — the official podcast affiliated with &#8220;The View&#8221; — in support of her claim that he would not be Trump&#8217;s 2024 running mate.</p>
<p>Besides the obvious complication of both living in Florida, Navarro explained, &#8220;Marco has embarrassed himself to such a point. I mean, he&#8217;s little in stature and little in principles.&#8221;</p>
<p>Navarro went on to suggest he also wasn&#8217;t likely to appear as a guest on &#8220;The View&#8221; anytime soon, saying that he&#8217;d be wary of just how much she knew about him.</p>
<p>&#8220;Maybe if he thinks it helps his chances to get into a fight with me and the other women on ‘The View,’ he would, but he knows I know where his skeletons are hidden,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve known him since we were kids.&#8221;</p>
