The View part-time host Ana Navarro feigned surprise that White House senior adviser Stephen Miller is “actually dating a human being and not an inflatable” as she tried to make the point that certain news coming out of the White House is actually a “distraction,” using Miller’s dating life as an example.
The hosts of the show were discussing on Friday the recent revelation that the intelligence community whistleblower who filed a complaint about President Trump did so because Trump made a “promise” with Ukrainian officials. Trump has called the whistleblower “partisan,” despite not knowing the identity of the individual.
In the middle of the ongoing debate, Navarro stated, “I’m with you, I have a problem with both. What I see as the difference though — I think that if we don’t talk about it, and I think if there is not public pressure, they would like for it to go away. I’m not talking about you. I’m talking about the administration, the people that are actually impacted by this.”
She continued, “I’m talking about the administration. I’m talking about sending Rudy Giuliani out to distract us. I’m talking about telling us yesterday that I don’t know — Stephen Miller is actually dating a human being, not an inflatable — to distract us.”

Meghan McCain then chimed in to say she doesn’t “know what that means,” as the crowd laughed at Navarro’s comment. She responded by calling it an attempt “at humor.”
As Navarro pointed out, it recently became public knowledge that Miller is involved with Katie Waldman, 27, who was recently hired as the press secretary for Vice President Mike Pence.
