Ana Navarro on Trump’s Tweets: It Is Modern Day ‘Crass,’ ‘Coarseness’

‘I’m distressed at seeing the inconsistent standards that people apply according to party’

RADDATZ: "Ana, it doesn’t really seem to do any good. You’ve been saying this for a long time. A lot have been saying this for a long time, so what changes?"

NAVARRO: "Maybe nothing. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to lower my standards, and I think a lot of the American people are not going to lower their standards. I think that a lot of people are in distress at seeing a president that is a man-baby. That is thin skinned like an onion. That can’t take criticism.I’m distressed at seeing the inconsistent standards that people apply according to party. If this was Barack Obama tweeting these things out, Republicans would have their hair on fire. They’d be calling for impeachment by now. And it happens on the other side too. There has got to be consistency on the character that we require. So whether it changes or not, whether Donald Trump changes or not — and believe me, I know changing a 70-year-old man is not easy — that does not mean you stop calling for the change. Because the moment we get numb to this, the moment we get complacent and accept this, then we have agreed to lower the standards of what the person representing the United States of America to our children, to our allies, to our foreign foes, represents. That is not acceptable and we cannot do it. If you are an American, you have got to defend the standards of the presidency of the United States."
