The View cohost Ana Navarro didn’t hold back when addressing the recent allegations surrounding Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been embroiled in controversy following a report of a personal relationship with journalist Olivia Nuzzi. During the Monday morning episode, Navarro compared Kennedy to a “dog,” suggesting that his long history of alleged infidelity has become so well-known that it barely raises eyebrows anymore.

“I think the reason that she’s paying more consequences is because RFK… everybody knows by now that he’s a dog and a ho, and there’s no consequences,” Navarro said, drawing parallels to former President Donald Trump’s behavior. “His wife [Cheryl Hines] knows it and seems to be okay with it, so what are the consequences for him?” (Hines has chosen not to comment on Navarro’s remarks, according to a representative).

Kennedy, who recently dropped out of the 2024 presidential race and endorsed Trump, has faced increasing scrutiny following reports of his alleged personal involvement with Nuzzi, a Washington correspondent for New York magazine. The publication placed Nuzzi on leave after she acknowledged having a relationship with a former subject tied to the 2024 presidential campaign—a violation of the magazine’s ethical standards.

Navarro emphasized that Nuzzi, who was covering Kennedy at the time, likely had “a lot more to lose” compared to Kennedy. While critical of the ethical breach, Navarro defended Nuzzi’s right to a personal life, stating, “If not for that, you can be freaky… [but] not if there’s a conflict of interest in your job.”

Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin echoed Navarro’s sentiments, expressing frustration over how the scandal has been framed, placing more focus on Nuzzi than on Kennedy. “A former presidential candidate… now a top surrogate to the Republican nominee for president… it goes back to the sexism that we fall into,” she said.

New York magazine released a statement confirming that Nuzzi had disclosed her relationship but noted that their review found no inaccuracies or bias in her reporting. Despite the ethical breach, the magazine assured readers that a third-party investigation was ongoing to ensure the integrity of the publication.

Meanwhile, Kennedy’s spokesperson denied the claims, stating that he had only met Nuzzi once for an interview that resulted in what was described as a “hit piece.” As the controversy continues to unfold, the spotlight remains on how both Kennedy and Nuzzi navigate the fallout.
