On Friday, the co-hosts of The View weighed in on polls reflecting J.D. Vance and Marco Rubio as “the two frontrunners” for the Republican party for the 2028 presidential election. Ana Navarro said that while she met the Vice President on CNN back when he was “an anti-Trumper republican,” and has known the Secretary of State “most of [her] adult life,” she claimed President Donald Trump has “changed both of them completely.”
“They have both said horrible things about Trump in their past, and Trump has said horrible things about them,” she noted.
Navarro thought that Rubio is “figuratively heads and shoulders above the rest of” Trump’s cabinet, citing his “qualifications, eloquence,” and ability to “kowtow to Trump.”
“They all brownnose Trump, but Marco’s actually qualified,” she continued. “He’s surrounded by a bunch of people who have been an embarrassment, like Kristi Noem, like Pam Bondi. Marco actually knows what he’s talking about.”
Navarro quipped, “But I guess it’s all about for whom the shoe fits,” setting up the perfect segue for what she teased as “the best thing in the world.” She then proceeded to discuss a report from The Wall Street Journal that revealed that Trump is making members of his cabinet “wear his favorite shoe” from the brand Florsheim.
“He guesses people’s shoe size, or he asks them what their shoe size is. And Marco must’ve lied because he’s wearing these shoes that any moment, he’s going to slide right out,” Navarro joked, as a picture of Rubio’s feet appeared onscreen.
Sunny Hostin agreed, “They don’t fit!”
Citing the report, Navarro said that Trump “was in a meeting with Vance, Rubio, and an unnamed man,” and that the president asked for their shoe size.
“Vance said he was a 13, maybe. Rubio said he was an 11.5,” she said with a laugh. “And then the third man, the unnamed man, said he was a size 7. And I’m telling you, that was Lindsey Graham, because I’ve been with Lindsey Graham, and I’ve always been struck by how tiny his little feet are.”
After viewers saw a picture of the South Carolina Senator and then a zoomed-in version focused on his feet, Navarro speculated, “His feet are so small, it might explain why his principles have nothing to stand on.”
The View airs on weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
