Links with the Contras

I included a section on Navarro's well-documented and self-confessed links with the Nicaraguan Contras. I cited interviews she gave to the New Yorker and the Tampa Bay Times, among others. She has been very up front about her links with the Contras: how her father was a member and how she gave financial aid to the Contras when she was a student. The information needs to go back up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.252.128.226 (talk) 12:13, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

The content had been trimmed and moved to the Early life and education section. Her "links with Contras" consist of raising funds for them in college according to the sources you provided. Why does that require its own section? Bennv3771 (talk) 12:16, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Her father was a member of the Contras. That's well documented. It deserves its own section because a prominent public commentator having strong links with, and giving public support for, terrorist groups, warrants it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.252.128.226 (talk) 17:21, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

This is not an article about Navarro's father. Anyway, I should have clarified that I was asking why this requires its own section according to Wikipedia's policy for determining due weight. WP:UNDUE says that the article "should strive to treat each aspect with a weight proportional to its treatment in the body of reliable, published material on the subject." Her criticisms of Donald Trump for example, has its own sub-sub-section and I can easily find articles published by reliable sources that are dedicated solely to her criticisms of Trump (e.g. [1][2]). I cannot find any similar deep coverage about her links to the Contras to see how this warrants its own section (not even just a subsection) in accordance to WP:UNDUE. The two references you cite (The New Yorker and Tampa Bay Times) cover this link in 2-3 sentences (while having several paragraphs about her criticisms of Trump/other republicans). If reliable sources only deem fit to cover this in a few sentences, then that is how much weight Wikipedia should give it too. Bennv3771 (talk) 18:34, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Jeb Bush's Landlord

I think its newsworthy to note that she is Jeb Bush's landlord. She mentioned it on C-Span in 2014.

Citizenship

She was born in Nicaragua. Was she ever naturalized as a US citizen?Zigzig20s (talk) 17:22, 4 July 2017 (UTC)

Presumably at some point, if she was able to vote in the 2016 election. Robofish (talk) 23:27, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

On Don Lemon's "CNN Tonight" panel discussing the Midterm elections (5 November 2018) she made everyone laugh when she said: "I keep getting messages telling me to go back to Mexico, and I don't even come from there." O Murr (talk) 08:03, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Republican?

Fake Republican, was correct party, why was that changed? Passagress (talk) 18:03, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Because she is a Republican, hating Trump doesn't make her any less of a Republican, just like how it doesn't make all of the other prominent Republicans who hate him less republican. --46.125.250.13 (talk) 19:43, 12 September 2017 (UTC)

She doesn't represent the mainstream of the Republican Party, even with those Republicans who oppose President Donald Trump or anti-Trump like Jeff Flake and John McCain but would still support most of his policies and vote to approve with his appointees.219.78.180.66 (talk) 11:09, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

We go by what reliable sources say per Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. Are there reliable sources contesting the claim that she is Republican? Bennv3771 (talk) 12:31, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

The last two significant votes cited in the article are for Democrats. Given that she does not vote ideologically, should she not be labeled more accurately "Independent?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.38.240 (talk) 22:00, 4 November 2019 (UTC)

Party registration doesn't compel anyone to vote for that party. Acroterion (talk) 00:50, 5 November 2019 (UTC)

I don't want to get involved in an edit war over Navarro's party affiliation. Mr. X, you are correct, that she still claims to be a Republican. However, the article needs to address the unclear status of her political party status. because it has been repeatedly remarked/speculated about by secondary and tertiary sources (that are WP:RS) during the past month (August 2020). For example,

1. CNN reports that she is advising the Democrat National Party (20 Aug 2020), ""Ana, you're advising the Biden campaign. I can't imagine anybody not doing what you say, so what are you telling them to do?" CNN's Alisyn Camerota asked."

2. On 5 August 2020, The Hill reported that "CNN political commentator Ana Navarro will host a "Hispanic-focused" roundtable conversation for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden as part of an event billed as a discussion on "the important role Florida Hispanics will play in making Donald Trump a one-term president."".

3. Paris Dennard, GOP Senior Communications Advisor for Black Media Affairs said on 5 August 2020, "Hopefully when Anna Navarro appears on TV it no longer says “Republican strategist or commentator” it should now read “Biden campaign member” since she is now doing events for them."

This does not need to be be broached in the lead of her BLP, but it definitely requires coverage somewhere in the article.--FeralOink (talk) 23:58, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

@FeralOink: I have no objection addressing it as long as we use reliable source (no Twitter). Also, we have to stick to exactly what the sources say without adding any of our own interpretation. For example, we cannot say that she is a Democrat because she says she's voting for Biden. - MrX 🖋 00:16, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Unless reliable sources discuss the unclear status of her political party status, then Wikipedia should not state it in any way. KyleJoan^talk 03:16, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Correct. Cites 5 and 8 (and others) establish that she identifies as Republican. Unless there are newer sources that explicitly say otherwise, we should not change her party affiliation in the article. - MrX 🖋 11:45, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Let's all acknowledge what is going on here. Certain unscrupulous editors continue to revert Navarro's political affiliation from "Democrat" to "Republican" in order to advance a dishonest narrative. The article itself presently shows that Navarro actively opposes Republican candidates, fund-raises for Democrats, and votes for Democrats. Clearly, you do not do the foregoing if you are a Republican.2603:300A:D0F:4400:D8B:458B:3ADC:F1E4 (talk) 22:52, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
