During a discussion on The View, co-host Navarro criticized Jackson&#8217;s assertion that Harris is &#8220;not black,&#8221; labeling it as &#8220;misinformation.&#8221; In an interview with the Guardian, when asked about the possibility of America having its first black female president, Jackson reportedly stated that Harris was &#8220;not black&#8221; and mentioned she had heard Harris was Indian. When informed that Harris&#8217;s parents are Indian and Jamaican, Jackson added that &#8220;her father&#8217;s white,&#8221; claiming she had been told this information recently. The pop star faced backlash for her remarks during her European concert tour promotion. Navarro described Jackson\u2019s comments as \u201cvery irresponsible\u201d and accused her of carelessly spreading misinformation based on a racist claim made by Donald Trump, who suggested that Kamala Harris just recently identified as black. Co-host Sunny Hostin emphasized that individuals who are biracial or multiracial can choose how they identify themselves and expressed disappointment in Jackson\u2019s lack of awareness about current events. Hostin noted the unfortunate nature of an icon like Janet not being informed while also stating she didn&#8217;t want to give too much attention to the issue. Meanwhile, Whoopi Goldberg defended Jackson by acknowledging her own past mistakes in comments and pointed out that the singer is currently grieving the loss of her brother Tito, a member of the Jackson 5 who passed away last week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2678,"featured_media":2345061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ana-Navarro-and-Janet-Jackson.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[7380,36601,41457,32438],"class_list":["post-2345060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-misinformation","tag-ana-navarro","tag-janet-jackson","tag-kamala-harris"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Ana-Navarro-and-Janet-Jackson.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2678"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2345060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2345060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2345061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2345060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2345060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2345060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
