<p>&#8220;The View&#8221; host Ana Navarro counted herself among the Latinos celebrating Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro&#8217;s arrest and extradition to New York, but refused to give President Donald Trump any credit, arguing that he&#8217;d only done it to soothe his own ego.</p>
<p>Navarro and her cohosts, like many across media outlets, spent much of Monday&#8217;s broadcast discussing the Trump administration&#8217;s precision strikes on Venezuela and the mission to extract Maduro — who was indicted on drug trafficking charges — for trial in the United States.</p>
<p>Sunny Hostin referred to the Trump administration&#8217;s actions as &#8220;100% illegal&#8221; and parroted the dictator himself when she claimed he&#8217;d been &#8220;kidnapped.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>WATCH:</strong></p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Ana Navarro hedges. She says Trump doesn&#8217;t care about the Venezuelan people but did this for his &#8220;ego.&#8221;<br />
Answering Goldberg on &#8220;who voted for this,&#8221; She notes: &#8220;The people in South Florida, the Venezuelan community, the Cuban-American community, the Nicaraguan-American community… <a href="https://t.co/b0JzHSOvEc">pic.twitter.com/b0JzHSOvEc</a></p>
<p>— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickFondacaro/status/2008212151484174476?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 5, 2026</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Navarro&#8217;s parents brought her to the United States from Nicaragua in 1980, after the socialist Sandinistas overthrew the Somoza dictatorship in 1979. She explained how she and others who had escaped oppressive rule saw Maduro&#8217;s capture differently.</p>
<p>Navarro began by claiming that Trump &#8220;doesn&#8217;t give a damn about the Venezuelan people,&#8221; arguing that he would not be arresting Venezuelans who had come to the United States illegally if he did. She went on to say that she believed he had intervened in Venezuela solely to soothe his own ego.</p>
<p>Despite her questions regarding Trump&#8217;s motivation, she said that Maduro&#8217;s arrest still made her happy. And when cohost Whoopi Goldberg asked who had voted for this to happen, Navarro had the answer.</p>
<p>&#8220;The people in South Florida, the Venezuelan community, the Cuban-American community, the Nicaraguan-American community voted for this,&#8221; she said. &#8220;And for us, this is a very, very happy day when we see a dictator who has been part of oppressing and abusing the Venezuelan people for 25 years, when we see him in handcuffs and held to some sort of accountability, it brought me to tears.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think you can criticize and ask questions and have concerns about the way it was done and what this means in the future,&#8221; she added. &#8220;And I think you can still celebrate that this murderous, corrupt, sadistic son of a bitch is out of Venezuela.&#8221;</p>
