CNN analyst Ana Navarro lashed out at GOP analyst Scott Jennings for laughing at the idea that President Joe Biden “doesn’t tell many lies” because he supports President Donald Trump who “lies every freaking day!”

Biden emerged back into the spotlight this week with a BBC radio interview that was his first since leaving office, followed by a full hour on Thursday’s edition of ABC’s The View — of which Navarro is a co-host.

The subject of his disastrous debate performance that led to his bombshell exit. from the race was discussed, as was his decision not to drop out earlier.

On Thursday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight,anchor Abby Phillip and a panel comprised of Jennings, Bakari Sellers, Ben Ferguson, and Ana Navarro talked about the interview and Biden’s comments about former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Things got heated when Jennings laughed at Navarro for defending Biden’s honesty and told him “You don’t get to laugh like that”:

PHILLIP: I am not — I am not sure that Joe Biden, fully realizes even his own deficits in this moment, Ana. I think seriously, he seems to not, to — I mean, you — he was asked about it directly and he doesn’t seem to get it at all, which is part of the problem.

NAVARRO: Well, look, Abby. I don’t know many elected officials, in any party who willingly walk away from their elected office, right? I think it’s hard for everybody. Look, I — I think this was very hard for Joe Biden and I think he took responsibility for that. He did not say what you just said, Scott, that he said —

JENNINGS: What? What?

NAVARRO: You just said that he told —

JENNINGS: What did he not say?

NAVARRO: He — you said that he told Kamala Harris that she could not have any distance from him.

JENNINGS: It’s been reported. He told her to point blank —

(CROSSTALK)

NAVARRO: It doesn’t matter what he was.

(CROSSTALK)

NAVARRO: Okay, because reporting can never be wrong?

JENNINGS: Are you attacking the journalism around it?

NAVARRO: You think reporting can never be wrong? If you were to be–

you come in and you come out here and you attack reporting every night.

JENNINGS: I do not.

NAVARRO: We actually asked him the question directly.

JENNINGS: I’m — I’m — there’s critical reporting about this guy.

NAVARRO: Okay.

JENNINGS: And he told her point blank —

NAVARRO: Well, we asked him —

JENNINGS: — no daylight.

NAVARRO: — we asked him directly today. Did you tell her that?

PHILLIP: All right, last —

(CROSSTALK)

JENNINGS: You think he’s never told a lie?

NAVARRO: I don’t think he tells many lies.

(CROSSTALK)

FERGUSON: He told a lie when he’s starting to decline. I can tell you that much.

NAVARRO: I don’t think he tells many lies. I don’t think he’s —

JENNINGS: Come on.

NAVARRO: Wait. Wait. No. You know why you don’t get to laugh like that? Because you support a guy who lies every freaking day and lies continuously!

JENNINGS: It’s tragic what you just said.

NAVARRO: You support a guy who cannot — who cannot acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election and that lies about it.

UNKNOWN: Yeah.

(CROSSTALK)

NAVARRO: I have no idea what’s in–

(CROSSTALK)

PHILLIP: We got to go guys. Thank you very much.

(CROSSTALK)

FERGUSON: — a cover-up.

NAVARRO: Have you read it?

(CROSSTALK)

PHILLIP: Guys —

NAVARRO: Have you read it?

PHILLIP: We got to go. Thank you very much.
