Sparks fly on CNN as Ana Navarro discounts pundit's opinion because he's a ‘White man'
CNN senior political commentator Ana Navarro sparked a clash on the network Monday when pointing out a panelist's racial identity during a discussion about Trump administration immigration policies. During 'CNN NewsNight,' Navarro dismissed conservative journalist Brad Polumbo's critique of her view of President Donald Trump's immigration policies by pointing out his race and gender. 'It might be hyperbolic for you as a White man… It's certainly not hyperbolic for me as a Latino,' Navarro said to Polumbo, who took offense at the comment and accused Navarro of being racially discriminatory. The clash happened after Polumbo called out the CNN commentator and 'The View' co-host for referring to Trump's immigration agenda and detention of illegal immigrants as a 'reign of terror.' 'I think you're definitely being hyperbolic when you talk about a reign of terror. When the doomsday alarm from Democrats or media critics is always at a ten, it doesn't hit the same,' he said. 4 Navarro said that Polumbo might feel differently about Trump's immigration policies because he is a White man. ABC via Getty Images Though the discussion had moved on to other topics, Navarro made sure to respond to Polumbo's 'hyperbolic' point when it was her turn to speak again. 'Also, I want to respond to you saying that I was hyperbolic when I talked about a reign of terror,' she said. Polumbo interjected, 'Because that is hyperbolic.'

CNN commentator questions Trump children's citizenship status: ‘Full conversation on who belongs here'
CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers asked why people aren't investigating the Trump family's citizenship status while discussing the White House's ongoing deportation efforts on Tuesday. Sellers took part in a panel on 'CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip' on the topic of the Trump administration attempting to revoke the citizenship of naturalized Americans who commit crimes. The panel referenced a recent memo from the Justice Department dated June 11 that directed U.S. attorneys to 'prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings' as part of an effort by the Trump administration to crack down on crime. While accusing President Donald Trump of refusing to give immigrants 'the benefit of their humanity,' Sellers suggested people needed to 'have a full conversation' about the Trump family's legal status. 'Look, if we want to have a conversation about who belongs where, when, how, and whether or not their citizenship status- and we want to look at everything, I mean, I would look at Donald Trump Jr.,' Sellers said. 'I would look at all of Melania's kids, all of Ivana's kids. I mean, let's just have a full conversation over who belongs here, how did they get here, their citizenship status.' 3 Sellers took part in a panel on 'CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip' on the topic of the Trump administration attempting to revoke the citizenship of naturalized Americans who commit crimes. CNN He added, 'Let's just have a full discussion about all of it. Why is that not on the table right now? I mean, the only person here should be Tiffany Trump, if we're going to have this discussion.' First lady Melania Trump, Barron's mother, was born in Slovenia before becoming a U.S. citizen in 2006. The late Ivana Trump, Trump's first wife and Eric, Ivanka and Donald Jr.'s mother, was born in the Czech Republic before becoming a U.S. citizen in 1988. Trump's second wife, Tiffany's mother, Marla Maples, was born in the U.S. 3 While accusing President Trump of refusing to give immigrants 'the benefit of their humanity,' Sellers suggested people needed to 'have a full conversation' about the Trump family's legal status.

The Washington Post via Getty Images All of Trump's children were born in the U.S. The Justice Department memo from Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate states that denaturalization cases against 'individuals who pose a potential danger to national security, including those with a nexus to terrorism, espionage, or the unlawful export from the United States of sensitive goods, technology, or information raising national security concerns' are one of the key priorities.

'The benefits of civil denaturalization include the government's ability to revoke the citizenship of individuals who engaged in the commission of war crimes, extrajudicial killings, or other serious human rights abuses; to remove naturalized criminals, gang members, or, indeed, any individuals convicted of crimes who pose an ongoing threat to the United States; and to prevent convicted terrorists from returning to U.S. soil or traveling internationally on a U.S. passport,' Shumate wrote.

Jamaal Bowman blames black health issues on being called the N-word ‘every day'
Ex-New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman is blaming the higher rate of chronic diseases among the black community on being called the 'N-word directly or indirectly every day.' The far-left former 'Squad' member theorized during a roundtable discussion on 'CNN NewsNight,' where he grew animated when referring to 'America's original sin and its disease of hate and racism towards black and brown people,' at times raising his voice. Far-left ex-New York Congressman Jamaal Bowman had an animated appearance on 'CNN NewsNight' in which he blamed chronic health issues in the black community on racism. CNN Advertisement He also hit out on Republicans as a whole, scolding White House official Marc Short for what he views as the sins of the party. 'Your colleagues in the Republican Party do not hold each other accountable when it comes to the racism that comes from the party on a consistent basis,' he erupted, talking over Short. 'You can't be calm about this! I'm a black man in America! The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N-word directly or indirectly every day,' he alleged. Advertisement 'If your colleagues would listen and try to learn and engage and grow, and stop being so hateful, we could have a better country, but unfortunately we're still here.' Former Republican California Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, striking a calmer tone, attempted to reason with Bowman. 'I understand where you're coming from, sincerely, I really really do, it happens on both sides Jamaal, you might think it happens more on your side … you should see my Twitter feed,' he said before Bowman interrupted, closing his eyes for dramatic effect. 'We have cops beating black people to death,' he wailed.

Getty Images Bowman, known for unhinged antics like pulling a Capitol Hill fire alarm during a government shutdown vote in 2023, lost his seat in the 16th Congressional District last year to Westchester County Executive George Latimer. Leading up to the election, Bowman held a rally in the Bronx with fellow 'Squad' member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, in which the former congressman bellowed 'we're gonna show them who the f–k we are! We are gonna show f–king AIPAC the power of the motherf–king South Bronx!' He also chanted his own name before grabbing a stool from the stage, waving it in the air and slamming it down on the ground.

Conservative Strategist Proclaims US Violates Other Countries' Sovereignty 'All the Time' in Defense of Trump's Iran Strikes
A conservative strategist declared that the U.S. violates the sovereignty of other countries "all the time" in defense of President Donald Trump's strikes on Iranian nuclear sites. The assertion came during a panel discussion on "CNN NewsNight" Monday night, where former White House spokesperson and political commentator Pete Seat praised the president's involvement in the war between Israel and Iran. "The Iranians do not speak the language of diplomacy unless force is used, and that is what President Trump and the United States used this past weekend in a precision, perfection way," Seat said. Cornel West, an activist and 2024 independent presidential candidate, then jumped in, arguing that the strikes were "illegal, unconstitutional." As Seat pushed back, West went on to say, "It is a violation of international law. You can't violate [the] national sovereignty of a country." "Why? We do it all the time," CNN political commentator and conservative strategist Scott Jennings responded. While West agreed that the U.S. "violates international law all the time," Jennings added, "Who's going to stop us?" The exchange stunned users online, with several calling the assertion "horrible" and "disgusting." "'We do it all the time' is not the flex Jennings thinks it is," one user commented . Another added , "This is absurd." "That was a real mask off moment," one user declared . Another wrote , "Spoken like a true entitled bully. Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire Monday night after the two countries began hailing airstrikes at each other following an attack by Israel on June 13. Although the ceasefire remains intact, both countries have since accused each other of violating the agreement. Originally published on Latin Times
