During Tuesday’s episode of CNN Tonight, guest
panelist Ana Navarro lost it when The Dispatch editor-in-chief Jonah
Goldberg tried to put America’s recent mass shootings into
"perspective."
After Goldberg cited accurate
school shooting statistics and asserted that we shouldn’t be trying to
"paralyze" American parents "with fear" over their children’s safety,
Navarro yelled at the conservative commentator and accused him of
turning children’s deaths into a "statistic."
She then urged viewers to get their "a—es in gear" and "call your senators" so that they can change gun laws.
The volatile segment began when CNN Tonight host Laura Coates addressed Goldberg and his reactions to actor Matthew McConaughey’s White House speech pushing for gun control. She remarked to the panelist, "You pushed back a little bit," before letting him explain himself.
Goldberg admitted he agreed with "Everything [McConaughey] said" but
clarified, "if we’re going to start telling people that they should be
scared that this could happen to them, we should at least put some of
this in perspective." Goldberg then delivered a controversial statistic,
"There are about 54 million kids who go to K-12 in America. In the last
29 years, 170 kids have been killed in school shootings."
He
provided one more point so that his fellow panelists might understand.
"If we’re going to tell people they should be terrified about their kids
being dropped off at school, we should remind them their kids are more
in danger on the drive to school, statistically, than they are at the
school."
Navarro, a frequent co-host on ABC's The View,
lost her patience by this point. She interjected, "No, no, no … Jonah,
we can’t do this." She then declared, "A child’s life cannot be a
statistic. You can’t tell the parents of Joaquin Oliver of Parkland, you
can’t tell Fred Guttenberg, you can’t tell my cousin —."
Goldberg
argued, "But that’s moral bullying. I’m making a basic point to say
that you shouldn’t tell people that they should be terrified."
Navarro
shot back, "If it were your child, it would not be a statistic. It
would be a tragedy you would never, ever recover from." Goldberg
replied, "You’re making it sound as if I don’t have compassion for these
people. Of course I do!"
After the increasingly tense conversation moved to "car seat laws" and
Navarro’s point that the government regulates driving to save children’s
lives, she loudly insisted the U.S. government does nothing to save
school kids from shootings.
Navarro exclaimed, "This is one of the only places where not doing
anything has become status quo and something as a country we accept. And
Shame on us for accepting that!" Navarro has made the same point in other media appearances.
She then yelled at Goldberg, "And I’m not morally bullying you. I’ve children I care about. And you do, too!"
Goldberg
protested once more about not overblowing fears of "random madmen
shooting up schools." Navarro was having none of it. "You’re making this
into a statistic conversation, instead of about the fact there’s
children being buried in coffins adorned with Superman decals!"
Still
Goldberg pushed back, saying, "But if you’re going to take that moral
outrage and then tell people they should be paralyzed with fear this is
going to happen to them and their kids, you are doing them a
disservice."
While wagging her finger at Goldberg, Navarro loudly declared, "I am not
telling they should be paralyzed with fear. I am telling they should
pick up the phone and call their senators and telling them it’s been ten
years since Sandy Hook
and that we haven’t done anything. It’s a national shame. So, paralyzed
with fear and paralyzed with acceptance and resignation is what we’ve
been for the last ten years."
She then concluded her tirade with a demand that Americans get after
lawmakers to change gun laws. "It’s enough of that. No more paralysis.
Get you’re a--es in gear and call your senators," she yelled.
NBC News correspondent Yamiche Alcindor worried Democrats would have a difficult time making Americans "care" and pay attention to the January 6 hearings, amid high gas prices, inflation, and a baby formula shortage. Appearing in a MSNBC panel Monday, Alcindor told host Andrea Mitchell that the "biggest challenge" the January 6 House Select Committee faced was getting Americans to have the same level of concern for their investigation. "I think the biggest challenge for lawmakers here as they talk about these sort of huge ideas of American democracy and sort of the experiment that we’re all living and benefiting from possibly being brought to his knees is whether or not they can make people care, Andrea," she said.

Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon discuss President Donald Trump's comments about race after the 2019 Oscars. Be nice if Spike Lee could read his notes, or better yet not have to use notes at all, when doing his racist hit on your President, who has done more for African Americans (Criminal Justice Reform, Lowest Unemployment numbers in History, Tax Cuts,etc.) than almost any other Pres! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2019 The left loves to hate on Trump, calling him a racist and what not. I know Trump can be juvenile sometimes – certainly – but the racist and hateful name-calling is just what it is, garbage.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez scrambled Sunday to explain why neighbors at her listed Bronx address never saw her there — and ended up claiming she recently relocatedto a larger place nearby. The day after The Post reported that residents said they had never seen her around — and she ducked questions about it after an appearance — her spokesman said the Democratic freshman congresswoman now lives with her boyfriend in a two-bedroom apartment “a block and a half away.’’ The pair relocated there earlier this month, he said. “She lives in the same neighborhood she’s lived in for years,” said the spokesman, Corbin Trent. “She is not living in the exact same condo.’’ The recent move still didn’t explain why residents at her previous digs — a one-bedroom Bronx condo owned by her mom — insisted they had never seen her there. U.S. reps and senators are required to have a residence in their home districts. Trent claimed that Ocasio-Cortez, 29, was at her new home Sunday afternoon, al
