Ana Navarro Criticized for False Pardon Claim

Ana Navarro, co-host of 'The View', faced intense backlash on social media after she defended President Biden's pardon of his son Hunter by citing a fictitious historical figure, 'Hunter deButts', as a precedent. In her posts, Navarro argued that Biden's actions were not unprecedented, mentioning other presidential pardons of family members, including those of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump. However, her reference to Woodrow Wilson's supposed brother-in-law was quickly debunked, with users pointing out that no such individual existed. Navarro's claim was further criticized by GOP operative Zach Parkinson, who highlighted the lack of any record for 'Hunter deButts'. Despite her attempts to justify her statements, her reliance on a non-existent figure drew ridicule and skepticism. In response to the backlash, Navarro downplayed the situation by attributing her mistake to ChatGPT, a move that did not sit well with many users.
