'I sure as hell don’t know her': Ana Navarro trashes Katie Britt for sex trafficking story

The co-hosts of "The View" were shocked at how Alabama Republican Sen. Katie Britt misled the public in her State of the Union response speech last week.

Over the weekend, it was revealed that Britt changed facts when she blamed President Joe Biden for a shocking tale of a woman being sex-trafficked as a 12-year-old. The facts were revealed, Whoopi Goldberg said, showing the woman was trafficked in Mexico, "nowhere near the border," during George W. Bush's administration.

The non-political co-hosts asked Republicans Ana Navaro and Alyssa Farah Griffin if they knew Britt. Griffin said no, but Navarro was emphatic, "I sure as hell don't know her!"

"You know, I saw her in some interviews, and I thought she was supposed to be the normal wing of the Republican Party, a young woman, you know, bringing in that perspective," explained Navarro. "And she — I mean, she was so bad even Republicans thought she was bad."

"The best thing that happened to Katie Britt in the last few days was that ScarJo was playing her on 'SNL,'" said Griffin, referring to Scarlett Johansson appearing on "Saturday Night Live" to ridicule the speech.

"I think what 'SNL' should have done, what would have been really funny, is if they had actually played her speech because it was so comical and horrifying at the same time," Navarro said. "They didn't need to do anything to it."

They played a clip of Britt trying to explain things in a Fox interview.

"Do you see what I mean?" exclaimed Navaro. "I told you, she sounded crazy even in normal life!"

Griffin said that lying about incidents like that "undermines the actual suffering of women that happens as part of this dysfunctional border process, and it undermined the efforts, and by the way, terrible staff work. No one even fact-checked it?"

Hostin then pointed out that Britt was part of the team that helped build an immigration bill in the Senate — which the GOP then voted against after members revealed Trump asked them not to pass it.
