The View hosts accuse Trump of ‘normalizing’ ableist slur
- Trump used an ableist slur to describe Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, prompting a condemnation from The View.
- Ana Navarro tied the incident to a broader message against normalizing cruelty toward disabled people.
- Walz told Meet the Press that using the term is damaging and not acceptable.
- Walz described the language as cruel and mean and said it distracts from competency issues.
- The hosts urged parents and family members of people with disabilities to speak out.
- Walz’s son Gus has a nonverbal learning disorder and other challenges, which he cited to illustrate the impact of the slur.
- Trump claimed his remarks were mimicry of a reporter who altered a story, not a slur.
- The discussion followed Trump’s Thanksgiving Truth Social post blasting Walz over what he calls a ‘refugee burden.’
- The View frames this as a nonpartisan human issue rather than political fuel.
