Ana Navarro and Other Republican Trump Critics Appearing on D.N.C. Night 2

The second night of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Tuesday has featured a series of Republicans who have laced intotheir own party’s nominee.

The prime-time segment of the evening is being hosted by Ana Navarro, a co-host of ABC’s “The View” and a longtime Republican critic of former President Donald J. Trump, and is set to include remarks from John Giles, the Republican mayor of Mesa, Ariz.

They follow Republicans who took the stage including Stephanie Grisham, who was the White House press secretary under Mr. Trump from 2019 to 2020, and Kyle Sweetser, an Alabama resident who said he had voted for Mr. Trump twice but came to believe that the former president’s agenda was to “line his own pockets.”

Ms. Grisham drew on her past proximity to Mr. Trump to make a case against him.

“Behind closed doors, Trump mocks his supporters — he calls them ‘basement dwellers,’” Ms. Grisham told the convention, recalling the former president raging when cameras did not follow him during a hospital visit.

“He has no empathy, no morals and no fidelity to the truth,” Ms. Grisham added. “He used to tell me: ‘It doesn’t matter what you say, Stephanie. Say it enough, and people will believe you.’”

Ms. Navarro, whose family fled Nicaragua and the leftist Sandinistas when she was 8, played roles on Republican campaigns and served as a close adviser to the former Florida governor Jeb Bush, but she has opposed Mr. Trump in three consecutive presidential elections.
