Past and present hosts of ABC’s The View united in their criticism of conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who mocked the 17-year-old son of vice presidential candidate Tim Walz. Gus Walz, who has a non-verbal learning disorder, went viral for his tearful reactions during his father’s speech at the Democratic National Convention (DNC). Coulter, in a since-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), made a disparaging comment about Gus, writing, “Talk about weird.”
Ana Navarro, a current host on The View, responded strongly on Instagram, posting Coulter’s deleted comment and stating, “Jesus. What ass-wipes. Of course Republicans and Trumpers on social media taking shots at Gus Walz. You have to be a special kind of heartless mutant to attack a 17-year-old special needs kid.” Navarro emphasized that Gus, who is neurodivergent, should be off-limits, drawing a parallel to her refusal to criticize Barron Trump, son of former President Donald Trump.
