The View's Ana Navarro defended President Joe Biden as the "most religious president" of her lifetime in response to remarks made by former President Donald Trump.
During a Tuesday appearance on CNN, Navarro responded to remarks made by Trump this past week claiming the Democratic agenda was against the Christian faith.
"It’s crazy for him to say Democrats are against religion at a time when we are led by Joe Biden, who, in my lifetime, is the most religious president I can recall,” Navarro told the CNN panel. “[Biden’s] not a Christian conservative. He’s an Irish Catholic, church-going, practicing Catholic.”
Navarro, a former GOP strategist who refers to herself as a Republican, then took aim at evangelical voters who initially threw support behind Trump during his first bid for the presidency.
“I think a lot of evangelicals crossed that bridge already and they did so in 2016 after they voted for Donald Trump after they heard him boast about sexual assault on video and on tape,” she added, referencing to infamous leaked audio of Trump's remarks to Billy Bush from 2005.

Navarro went on to label Trump supporters as "bizarre" and "crazy" for comparing Trump's legal battles with the persecution of Jesus Christ.
During a pre-taped address at Monday's Life & Liberty Forum, Trump urged Christian voters to support him this November and warned Democrats would take political action against Christianity.
“You just can’t vote Democrat. They’re against religion,” Trump said. “They’re against your religion in particular.”
Trump and his conservative justice appointments are largely credited for the U.S. Supreme Court's 2022 decision in Dobbs V. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade and returned the legality of abortion to state legislatures.
The former president went on to "proudly" take responsibility for SCOTUS' decision while revealing his official stance on abortion this past April.
“My view is now that we have abortion where everybody wanted it from a legal standpoint, the states will determine by vote or legislation or perhaps both, and whatever they decide must be the law of the land. In this case, the law of the state,” Trump said. WATCH: Trump releases new statement on abortion policy, saying abortion restrictions should be left to states.

Although Trump appeared to express opposition to abortion as his personal stance, the former president said he was "strongly in favor" of exceptions for abortion in cases of rape, incest, and instances in which the mother's life may be in danger during her pregnancy.
“At the end of the day, this is about the will of the people,” Trump said. “You must follow your heart on this issue, but remember: you must also win elections to restore our culture and, in fact, to save our country.”
