Some co-hosts mocked the civility campaign, longing for Buttigieg instead.
You know things are upside down when Ana Navarro — professional Trump critic, full-time “The View” firebrand — suddenly agrees with a Trump administration cabinet member. But here she was, admitting she’s tired of flying alongside people dressed like extras in a late-night infomercial. And honestly? You don’t have to be a political partisan to agree that seeing someone’s bare backside at Gate C14 isn’t the pinnacle of civilization.
Sean Duffy made a pretty mild request: maybe don’t wear pajamas, slippers, or skin-tight “I swear I’m naked” leggings to the airport. Maybe help someone lift their bag instead of watching them struggle like they’re on an obstacle course. Given the FAA’s 400% spike in unruly passengers, it’s hardly a radical idea.
But because it’s a Trump cabinet member saying it, half the table immediately turned it into a political debate. Meanwhile, everyday travelers just want one peaceful flight without a mid-air meltdown.
From Fox News:
“The View” co-host and staunch Trump administration critic Ana Navarro said she agreed with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s call for an improvement in civility during travel on Tuesday, as Duffy encouraged travelers to dress better.
“Take my temperature, because I am going to agree with a Trump cabinet member,” Navarro announced during the segment, surprising her co-hosts, as one asked, “really?”
“I fly four times a week sometimes, I am tired of seeing people’s a– cheeks, and I go through Miami and, you know, Miami people are half-naked on a good day, so it’s like a lot of people in skin-tight, skin-colored leggings from, they look naked! I don’t think that’s appropriate.”
“You know, whether it’s a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little bit better, which encourages us to maybe behave a little better,” Duffy said at a press conference on Monday. “Let’s try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport. I think that’s positive.”
Duffy also encouraged passengers to help others who are struggling to put their bags in the overhead bins “as a common courtesy and civility.”
The Trump administration’s airline-focused civility campaign will aim to “inspire” a return to decorum and politeness while addressing a record surge in unruly passengers disrupting flights for millions of travelers, according to a press release provided to Fox News Digital.
Since 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has recorded a more than 400% increase in in-flight disturbances, ranging from disruptive behavior to violence. The agency has reported thousands of unruly passenger cases since 2021, with enforcement actions and fines rising sharply in recent years, according to FAA data.
Navarro said Duffy was right to remind people of civility and echoed his message of “manners don’t stop at the gate.”
Towards the end of the segment, Navarro added, “I don’t think people should be wearing, you know, t-shirts with naked folks or with cussing on their shirt.”
Co-host Sara Haines added, a “certain amount of decorum.”
The other co-hosts were critical of Duffy’s message, as co-host Sunny Hostin said, “I miss Pete Buttigieg so much as the transportation secretary.”
