Ana Navarro stunned her co-hosts on The View by agreeing with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy that Americans should not be wearing outrageous outfits in airports and on planes.
During a Monday press conference at Newark Liberty International Airport, Duffy said fliers should dress ‘with some respect’ and not wear ‘slippers and pajamas’.
‘Take my temperature, because I am going to agree with a Trump cabinet member,’ Navarro said on Tuesday’s show.
‘I fly four times a week sometimes, I am tired of seeing people’s a** cheeks, and I go through Miami and Miami people are half-naked on a good day. It’s a lot of people in skin-tight, skin-colored leggings, and they look naked! I don’t think that’s appropriate,’ she added.
Navarro has never supported Trump and has been close to the Bush family for years, serving as Jeb Bush‘s director of immigration policy when he was the governor of Florida. She ultimately voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016, even though she is a registered Republican to this day.
Navarro, who has been a permanent host on The View since 2022, also agreed with Duffy saying there should be more civility on planes.
He told travelers ‘don’t take your shoes off and put your feet on the chair ahead of you’.
‘I think we have to think about, how do we do a better job? How do we maintain some of that frustration we have as we travel this Thanksgiving season? Maybe we should say a “please” and “thank you” to our pilots and to our flight attendants.’

Duffy made the plea to Americans ahead of Thanksgiving, routinely the busiest time of the year for airports
Navarro pointed out that TSA agents just had to endure a 43-day-long government shutdown, and now they’re about to work through the busiest traveling season of the year.
‘Be nice. These people have just gone through hell with the government shutdown. Be nice and thankful to the TSA agents,’ she said.
Unruly behavior at airports and on planes has been on a disturbing rise in recent years.
Last year, the Federal Aviation Administration recorded 2,096 unruly passenger reports, an 80 percent increase since 2019.
So far this year, there have been 1,453 reports of unruly behavior on planes and in airports around the country, for which passengers have been fined a combined $2.1 million.
‘Bringing civility back, I think, enhances the travel experience for everybody,’ Duffy said Monday.
Duffy was grateful air traffic controller staffing levels have stabilized in time for what he says will be the busiest Thanksgiving on record for travel, while the head of the FAA reassured passengers that they can ‘fly with confidence’ this week.
AAA projects 1.3 million more travelers will be on the roads than last year, pushing the total number of people traveling by car to at least 73 million. An additional six million people are expected to fly.
