Ana Navarro: Republicans are ‘cowards’ for not standing up to Trump

I agree, they are some spineless wimps!

Republican strategist Ana Navarro on Wednesday slammed Republican lawmakers as "cowards" for not standing up to President Trump.

Navarro, a CNN contributor, said on CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time" that the GOP is filled with members who are afraid to speak out against the president out of fear of losing a re-election and that it is "sad time" for the party.

"What you’ve got is a group of folks in Congress, a lot of them in the Republican party, who are quaking in their boots. They are cowards," she said.

Navarro's comments also come on the heels of Rep. Mark Sanford's (R-S.C.) defeat in a South Carolina GOP primary.

Sanford repeatedly criticized Trump, and his opponent used that as an issue in the primary. Trump ripped into Sanford while supporting his rival on Tuesday afternoon as voters continued to go to the polls.

Navarro said Republicans are afraid to speak out against Trump because of the consequences. She mentioned both Sanford and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), a frequent Trump critic who didn't run for reelection after polls showed he faced a difficult race.

"They are afraid to speak up because they are afraid to run the same fate, to face the same fate as a Mark Sanford or a Jeff Flake," Navarro said.

Navarro made the comments in the contest of a cable conversation about Virginia Senate candidate Corey Stewart's (R) primary victory on Tuesday.

Stewart, who has received a congratulations message on Twitter from Trump after the primary, has ties to two notable white nationalists and has drawn increasing scrutiny because of it.

The campaign arm for Senate Republicans has indicated it will not offer any support to Stewart in his campaign, and will instead focus on other races.

Navarro, a frequent of critic of the GOP under Trump, said she was appalled by Stewart's win in the primary.

"You know, it’s a hard time," she said. "I will tell you it’s a sad time."

She also mentioned that it's a "sad time" because the party has had candidates over the past couple years who have been accused of being pedophiles and neo-Nazis.

I think the Party of God knows what they want, ... and will do anything to attain it. (makes perfect sense to me)

Sounds like they are more afraid of their voters than Trump. Good

And she wasn't happy when Trump won in 2016. She and her kind are going to have to get used to it.

I remember her getting all bent out of shape about Trump. The 'pussy grabbing' really sent her over the edge. She's a staunch Republican, but this really infuriated her.

the funny thing about navarro and the rest is that they condemn trump as a dictator and yet get angry at the public when they vote for things that are not aligned with her interests.

Navarro became red-faced, she looked like she was going to explode.

Balls are in High Demand in The GOP, but it looks like all the GOP Women have them.

Your spin is bs. Dictators often have the support of their party which is a distinct group from "the public."

I think she was more pissed off about the bad hombres comment and the border wall proposal.

The right is irredeemable. All rightists are enemies and must be destroyed. They are the enemies of humanity. They are a virus that infests us. Only total eradication will suffice, until the last rightist breathes their last breath, our task will not be complete.
