"The View" cohost also took the opportunity to highlight the “hypocrisy” and “irony” of Trump’s Inauguration Day.

Ana Navarro took aim at Snoop Dogg during Tuesday morning's (Jan. 21) episode of The View, likening the rapper to a "trained seal" after he performed at a pro-Donald Trump event during inauguration weekend.

Co-hosts of "The View" had an intense debate about whether artists like Snoop Dogg should be judged for performing at President Donald Trump's inauguration.

Ana Navarro isn’t holding back on Snoop Dogg for performing at Donald Trump’s inauguration. During a recent episode of The View, Navarro and co-host Sunny Hostin were critical of rappers like Nelly and Snoop for offering their services to the new commander-in-chief’s inaugural ball.

“The View” co-host Sunny Hostin called President Donald Trump a “DEI hire” on Monday while reacting to his inauguration and pointed to the “hypocrisy” of his announcement that he would be getting rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) policies.

Navarro likened the rapper's performance at an event supporting Trump to "applauding him like a trained seal."

Reacting to Trump's announcement that he would get rid of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies, The View co-host said Trump did not earn the presidency with merit.

The View cohosts – sans moderator Whoopi Goldberg who was out for a previous work commitment – dove right into the new Trump era, dissecting yesterday’s Inauguration and pondering what the next four years will look like.

Goldberg is missing from The View for the second day in a row. She is absent because of a “work commitment,” as Behar told viewers yesterday.

Sunny Hostin jokes that Trump himself is a DEI hire, but in this case, those letters aren't an acronym for what you're thinking of

For Alyssa Farah Griffin, the reference clearly conjured memories of headlines that Navarro made in 2023, when the then-51-year-old shared an Instagram post indicating that she found Maluma, then 29, "sexy" and wanted to feed him with her breasts. "Oh my gosh," Griffin said, lowering her head to her hand as she laughed.
