EXCERPT:
NAVARRO: "Listen, I think there were some people after this election that thought, for some reason, I'm not sure why, but I know people who thought that Trump had changed and that for some reason this would be different and that we didn't know what we were going to be facing. And this brought back to me what Maya Angelou told us, right? When somebody shows you who they are, believe them the first time. And today was a wake-up call for all those people that thought Trump was somehow going to change, that he is the same, the same exact person that he was. This press conference was, struck me for just how callous it was, how callous is it with the families and loved ones of those victims still in the water to be without a shred of evidence throwing out theories irresponsibly, like if it was spaghetti to a wall. And also that the irresponsibility of being the commander in chief and using the presidential bully pulpit to spread these conspiracy theories without evidence. And just as disgusting is the idea that he's commander in chief and he's blaming the helicopter pilots and that he's got a DOD secretary. You see this is something he couldn't have done if Jim Mattis was Secretary of Defense. Because Jim Mattis would have gone on that podium and would have corrected him and would have pushed back. But now he's got these complicit secretaries in that cabinet that just clap and smile and nod along with every insane thing that comes out of his mouth."
