On The View, co-host Ana Navarro publicly called on former President Barack Obama to speak out against the current Trump administration, which she described as plunging the country into an “American nightmare.” Navarro acknowledged Obama’s success in retirement but argued that the threats to democracy demand his active involvement.
She emphasized that this is not a typical post-presidency period and asserted that every former commander-in-chief—Obama, Clinton, Bush, and Biden—has a responsibility to defend democratic values during crises.
Navarro underscored that America is at a dangerous turning point, citing growing apprehension over democratic erosion and urging public figures to step out of the shadows and lead the charge.
