Overview
- The heated exchange unfolded on CNN NewsNight during a panel on U.S. aerial strikes against alleged Venezuelan drug boats.
- Harrison Fields told Ana Navarro "your day job is The View," and Navarro shot back "you have no day job; you just lost yours," referencing his departure from the White House.
- Phillip cut in to challenge Fields on the origins of fentanyl, saying he mixed up key facts and repeatedly asking where most fentanyl entering the U.S. originates.
- Navarro asserted that no fentanyl comes from Venezuela, while Fields defended the strikes as protecting American interests and blamed border policy under President Biden.
- Context for the debate includes months of strikes with dozens reported killed, ongoing legal questions, and a disputed chain of command as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth points to Admiral Frank Bradley, who told lawmakers there was no "kill them all" order.
