<p>The hosts of ABC News&#8217; &#8220;The View&#8221; took turns scolding Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) on Monday, first for taking a meeting with President Donald Trump and then for daring to vote in favor of any of his cabinet appointments.</p>
<p>Ana Navarro, who self-identifies as a Republican despite her insistence on supporting and defending former President Joe Biden and even hosting one evening of the 2024 Democratic National Convention, went after Fetterman first.</p>
<p>&#8220;You did get a lot of criticism for it from some people who thought you going to Mar-a-Lago gave cover to Trump by creating this illusion that he&#8217;s amenable to working with Democrats,&#8221; she said of Fetterman&#8217;s visit with Trump at his Florida home. She then boasted that she had supported Republicans who crossed the aisle to work with Biden — before lambasting Democrats who dared to work across the aisle when the other side was Trump.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was very supportive when people like Mitt Romney and Rob Portman worked with Joe Biden, so I understand the need for bipartisanship,&#8221; she said, and then immediately pivoted: &#8220;I didn&#8217;t love the optics of you going to Mar-a-Lago, he was going to — which is his palace. He was going to be in Washington a week later.&#8221;</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sunny Hostin is bewildered by Fetterman calling the New York&#39;s case against Trump politically motivated.<br />&quot;I think I like to call it strikes and balls, but the judicial system has to remain impartial. I mean, that&#39;s really the cornerstone of our society,&quot; he said. <a href="https://t.co/LUyA7G9TFu">pic.twitter.com/LUyA7G9TFu</a></p>

<p>Cohost Sunny Hostin joined the fray then, complaining that Fetterman had called out the politically motivated nature of the hush-money case against Trump in Manhattan.</p>
<p>&#8220;Just for clarification, did you mean that the 34-count case in which Donald Trump was found guilty of various financial crimes was politically motivated?&#8221; Hostin pressed.</p>
<p>&#8220;I found that when the judicial system gets weaponized, and targeted political enemies for political gain, I think that&#8217;s inappropriate, and I think that degrades our collective trust in this very important institution,&#8221; Fetterman pushed back, arguing that it was wrong no matter which side was guilty of such action.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think I like to call it strikes and balls, but the judicial system has to remain impartial. I mean, that&#8217;s really the cornerstone of our society,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>Whoopi Goldberg stepped in to deflect away from the political prosecution of Trump, asking the audience, &#8220;Wouldn&#8217;t that be great if that&#8217;s the way that things actually worked?&#8221;</p>
<p>After the commercial break, Hostin kept at it, saying that many Democrats were frustrated because Fetterman appeared to have &#8220;made a rightward shift.&#8221; By way of evidence, Hostin listed his previous meeting with the incoming President of the United States, the fact that he joined Truth Social, and his support of border security and fracking — the latter of which sustains many jobs in his home state of Pennsylvania.</p>

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Ana Navarro whines to Fetterman about voting in support of some of Trump&#39;s nominees (including Secretary Rubio, who she once supported for that job). She also ragged him for doing his job and taking &quot;meetings with some of the most controversial appointees.&quot; <a href="https://t.co/6pmMCQPd2d">pic.twitter.com/6pmMCQPd2d</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) <a href="https://twitter.com/NickFondacaro/status/1883935520582951071?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 27, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>Navarro brought the topic back around to Trump&#8217;s cabinet nominees, complaining that Fetterman had met with them on Capitol Hill — which he has repeatedly said he&#8217;d do because the Senate is called to &#8220;advise and consent&#8221; — and that he&#8217;d even voted for a few of them. One she listed specifically was Secretary of State Marco Rubio — a longtime friend of hers for whom she had <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ana-navarro-touts-qualified-rubio-as-solid-choice-by-trump-heres-what-she-said-about-him-in-june">voiced support</a> just weeks earlier.</p>
