CNN was forced to cut away to a commercial when an explosive argument erupted between “The View” co-host Ana Navarro and a Black conservative.

Navarro got into a shouting match with Shermichael Singleton when she compared African slaves to immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was deported to El Salvador.

Abrego Garcia, 29, was deported by the Trump administration. Navarro is among those who believe Abrego Garcia was wrongfully deported.

“If you come in illegally, you have to leave. Americans are tired of that. We don’t have unlimited resources… We have to care for our own people,” Singleton said.

Navarro replied: “There’s a hell of a lot of Americans, other than black people who were brought here as slaves, who came to this country illegally.”

Singleton objected to Navarro going all the way back to slavery to make her point.

“They are not the same as Black people who were brought here against our will!” he shouted. “They decide to walk their way across the border, there is a big difference!”

CNN anchor Abby Phillip then interjected to inform Singleton that he misunderstood Navarro.

But the argument continued: “Great. Congratulations. Last time I checked, I’m black. You‘re not, okay,” Singleton told Navarro.

Navarro clapped back: “That’s right. I’m Latino and my people are being racially profiled.”

Singleton continued: “Do I have to remind you the history of my people? Do you really wanna go there?”

Phillip struggled to regain control of the discussion before giving up and going to a commercial break.
