The View's Ana Navarro Says There's 'special place in Hell' for Caitlyn Jenner after complaint on anti-trans Donald Trump Policy

Ana Navarro called Caitlyn Jenner out on The View after the reality star, who is transgender, revealed she appealed to President Trump after she was unable to change her passport’s gender marker due to an executive order he signed on his very first day back in office.

Days after Navarro initially criticized on social media Jenner's recent interview with Tomi Lahren (in which she criticized the Trump-backed policy), the Republican panelist reiterated her frustrations on Monday's episode of the talk show.

"I'm going to quote trans advocate Janetta Johnson, who said this in 2015: 'Jenner is a rich, white bitch. She can pay for everything she needs,'" Navarro said, quoting Johnson. She continued, outlining Johnson's words as she told viewers, "'But I think she now needs to put some of that money back into the transgender community, as she has taken a lot. All these years, we've been abused and battered, yet she's used none of her power to help the community and bring about change.'"

Navarro then added her own thoughts to Johnson's past statement amid last week's news that Jenner told Lahren that the forced change on her passport posed "a safety factor" issue for her and prevented international travel, as her passport now indicates that she's male, despite Jenner undergoing a lengthy process to get her name and gender legally changed on her birth certificate and other government documents.

"Caitlyn Jenner? Girl, cry me a river. Let me play my little violin for you," Navarro said. "Changing the marker on the passports is an executive order that he signed on day one, so if you think he didn't know what he was doing, if you think he wasn't fulfilling a campaign promise because, as you say, he absolutely exploited this issue in order to get people to the polls. I think there's a special place in hell for people who only care about themselves and don't care about the effect on others."

Navarro finished by urging Jenner to "imagine what the safety issue is for people who are not celebrities, who don't have access to the White House, and who don't have money," following Jenner's statements about writing a letter to Trump on the issue.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, conservative View cohost and former Trump White House staffer, called the executive order a "stupid policy," and cited Euphoria actress Hunter Schafer as an example of someone who has identified "as a woman since her high school years" and "arguably looks more female than I do," and whose passport was also changed to include the incorrect gender marker.

"It's meant to make you feel embarrassed" as you go through TSA at the airport, Griffin said. "That is not an issue that in any way betters the lives of the American people," she finished.

Whoopi Goldberg also took aim at Trump during the Hot Topics chat, telling viewers that she just wants Trump "to do what's right for the country and for our people" through his policies.

"We're the people that pay the taxes, we're the people that sit and watch when you destroy our house," she said. "You're going to come to us and you want more money. There has to be a give and take, and so far it just looks like a lot of take to me. So, we have decisions to make."

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Jenner and the White House for comment.

In early 2025, the Trump administration enacted what the Associated Press described as a "policy blocking transgender and nonbinary people from choosing passport sex markers that align with their gender identity," which impacted the aforementioned celebrities' documentation.

On Lahren's talk show, Jenner admitted that, despite supporting Trump throughout the presidential election cycles, "I haven't heard from him. He's kind of busy right now. My gender marker isn't big on the issue," she said, later adding, "I love the guy, and I love what he's doing. But, I'm trying to figure out now what is the next step to try to figure this out."

The View airs weekdays on ABC.
