Ana Navarro was not celebrating President Donald Trump‘s pardon of Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie Chrisley on this morning’s episode of The View.
The Chrisley Knows Best stars, who reported to prison in January 2023 after being convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion the year prior, received full pardons from the POTUS, their daughter Savannah Chrisley announced Tuesday night (May 27). Todd was serving a 12-year prison sentence, while Julie was serving seven years.
The news comes months after Savannah spoke out against Democrats at the Republican National Convention and campaigned for Trump’s presidency.
“Your question was — is anybody going to have a problem with this? I sure as hell do,” Navarro said on The View. “I think one of the things we as Americans have to do is not normalize this and not get accustomed to this and not allow this to continue to happen. This is not normal, this is not honest, this is not ethical.”
Navarro added, “Basically, there is a huge for sale sign on the lawn of the White House. If you are a supporter, if you are a donor, then you can buy pardons.”
The co-host also put Trump on blast for his “crypto grift,” his wife’s $40 million documentary deal with Amazon, and for recently accepting a “$400 million jet” from Qatar.
“The profiteering we are seeing from Trump and his family, from the presidency, has no precedence and cannot be accepted or normalized by the American people,” Navarro said.
Savannah — who previously blamed her parents’ conviction on their “conservative beliefs” —expressed her gratitude to Trump while wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat in a TikTok video after he personally called her to inform her of the pardons.
“If anyone knows what we’re going through it’s the president,” she said. “The president was unjustly prosecuted and all the things that he has gone through, he sees the weaponization of our government agencies and I feel like he saw what my family was going through and because of him, he brought my family back together. My parents are coming home.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
