Ana Navarro says Barack Obama is living in the past. The View co-host pushed back against advice from Obama after the former president recommended democrats focus less on the latest craziness from Donald Trump and instead commit to current issues affecting American voters.

Obamas comments came from his appearance on the Oct. 15 episode of Pod Save America, where he told host Jon Favreau, We spend enormous amounts of time and energy and resources pointing out the latest crazy thing he said, or how rude or mean some of these republican candidates behaved.

He continued, Thats probably not something that, in the minds of most voters, overrides their basic interests. Can I pay the rent? What are gas prices? How am I dealing with childcare?

While discussing his advice with The View panel during a Hot Topics segment on todays episode, Navarro questioned how effective Obamas idea really is, suggesting he doesnt have the relevant experience of squaring off against Trump since he was running against the much saner John McCain.

I think Obama is kind of campaigning like its 2008. He ran against John McCain. He didnt run against a twice-impeached insurrectionist, and I dont know how you ignore Donald Trump when hes constantly doing things like attacking Elaine Chao with anti-Asian hate, when hes attacking Jews, like he did last night, Navarro said.

She then read a post from Trump on his Truth Social platform in which the former president wrote, U.S. Jews have to get their act together and appreciate what they have in Israel before its too late.

Navarro added, This is coming at a time when theres been such a dramatic increase in anti-Asian crimes, antisemitic crimes, before admitting she understands Obamas words, but doesnt think the advice will stick in todays hot political climate.

So look, I get what Obama is saying. There is a dearth we are missing the hope and change feeling that there was in 2008, Navarro said. But its very hard to not be angry and outraged, and channel that into the ballot box when theyve just gotten rid of abortion rights after 50 years.

The Viewairs weekdays at 11/10c on ABC.
