\u201cThe View\u201d doesn\u2019t see as many on-air clashes as it used to, but on Friday, the ABC hosts got into an old-fashioned yelling match over Greenland and Venezuela. Eventually, moderator Joy Behar had to remind host Ana Navarro \u201cwe\u2019re on television!\u201d<\/p>\n

The argument came in the very first Hot Topic of the day, as the women discussed Republican outrage<\/a> over Trump\u2019s renewed attempt to buy Greenland. Host Sunny Hostin wondered why these lawmakers are staunchly against purchasing Greenland but were fine with the capture of Venezuelan president Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. She quickly noted that Greenland is not for sale, and drew parallels between the two situations.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither is Venezuela, and nor is its oil ours,\u201d Hostin said. \u201cYet, we went in, we took the president \u2014 I\u2019ve called it a kidnapping, because I believe that\u2019s what it is \u2014 and we take the head of state of Venezuela, and take the oil, and is, I think, going to put the money in offshore accounts. So how is that OK but Greenland isn\u2019t?\u201d<\/p>\n

LAWMAKERS DENOUNCE TRUMP THREATS TO SEIZE GREENLAND: After GOP Sen. Thom Tillis lashed out at White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller\u2019s claim about expanding America\u2019s borders, ‘The View’ co-hosts weigh in. pic.twitter.com\/hdTunC1HJl<\/a><\/p>\n

At that, Ana Navarro cut in, assuring Hostin she loves her, but immediately pushing back and saying that an equivalency cannot be made between Greenland and Venezuela.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s look at some facts. Venezuela is a dictatorship, Greenland is not,\u201d Navarro said. \u201cDenmark is our ally, Greenland is our ally, we have military bases and operations in Greenland, Denmark is part of NATO, as we are, so we are part of one big alliance. Venezuela is a place where they kill, jail, and torture the opposition, where they repress human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Navarro argued that \u201cwe lose the point\u201d if Greenland and Venezuela are treated as the same, which lit the fire for Hostin.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo we don\u2019t! The law is the law,\u201d Hostin retorted. \u201cIt is an unlawful thing that we did in Venezuela, and it would be unlawful for us to do it in Greenland.\u201d<\/p>\n

Navarro then reiterated her feelings from earlier in the week<\/a>, saying that the methods used can and should be questioned, but she\u2019s still celebrating along with Venezuelans. She also added that she doesn\u2019t consider the operation in Venezuela successful \u201cuntil every single political prisoner is released, and there\u2019s free and fair elections.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hostin then pressed her on whether Navarro thinks it\u2019s OK for the U.S. to take Venezuela\u2019s oil, prompting Navarro to snap back that \u201cVenezuelans think it\u2019s OK because Maduro stole it!\u201d<\/p>\n

From there, the women argued over the legality of the move and whether the legality even matters, talking over each other and refusing to let anyone else weigh in \u2014 namely host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who kept trying. Eventually, Behar had to raise her voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cHold on! Ana, we\u2019re on television!\u201d she bellowed.<\/p>\n

\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Jasmine\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m eight months pregnant, can we just all have a chance to speak? Like, what are we doing?\u201d Farah Griffin agreed.<\/p>\n

The conversation got back on track and more audible from there, and though they still disagreed, the women were able to finish out the segment.<\/p>\n
