“I was not going to allow the libs on ABC’s @TheView to rewrite history about [Joe] Biden‘s border catastrophe,” the conservative figure tweeted over a clip of her appearance on the talk show. “President Trump was right to secure the border.”
And though Sanders, who previously served as the president’s White House press secretary, did admit that she didn’t agree with all of her former boss’s immigration tactics, she did praise his “intense focus on violent, criminal illegals.”
That’s when Navarro, 54, stopped Sanders mid-sentence, stating that “the majority of the people being detained and deported do not have violent criminal [records].”
Sanders pushed back, telling Navarro, “No, you’re not going to twist my words around,” before reiterating that the president “was right to focus on those people” coming into the country illegally.

Hostin, 58, also scolded Sanders by telling her that “people aren’t illegal, they’re undocumented,” which led to tense tit-for-tat as the TV personality attempted to move on to another topic.
“Actually, if you break the law, that’s the definition of illegal,” Sanders shot back, with Hostin again telling her, “People are not illegal. They may commit crimes, but they’re not illegal.”
Sanders refused to let the point go, telling Hostin, “That’s factually incorrect,” but it was the former federal prosecutor and legal expert who had the last word, replying, “It’s not,” before moving on to conversations about Pete Hegseth‘s now-failed impeachment.
