Ana Navarro reports made-up person ‘Hunter deButts’ was pardoned by W. Wilson, blames ChatGPT for stupidity

December 5, 2024 | | Print Article

Ana Navarro came up with a knee-slapper of an excuse after “The View” co-host was ridiculed over a claim she made while defending Joe Biden’s pardon of his scoundrel son Hunter Biden.

The left-wing noise machine has been in overdrive to spin the unexpected pre-Christmas gift of clemency, something that Biden had insisted that he didn’t intend to do, leaving his media shills with egg running down their faces and looking for creative ways to justify the sweeping pardon.

In Navarro’s case, a bit too creative. In an X post that has elicited much mockery, the fiery Latina faux conservative claimed that former President Woodrow Wilson pardoned his brother-in-law “Hunter deButts” in an attempt to show that there was precedent for Biden’s act, but there was one big problem, “Hunter deButts” never existed.

Unlike her safe space in the establishment media, X users subjected her name-dropping of the Democrat president’s fictitious relative to a fact-check which quickly found it to be false, prompting Navarro to explain away her spreading of disinformation by blaming it on bad artificial intelligence that she allegedly got from ChatGPT.

“Hey Twitter sleuths, thanks for taking the time to provide context. Take it up with Chat GPT…,” she said, sharing a screenshot to back up her claim.

But Navarro’s excuse only provided more fodder for critics who suggested that someone who works for ABC and is a frequent guest on CNN should have been more diligent in doing her own fact-checking.

“This Hunter deButts thing is really one of the all-time funniest things to happen in media and on this platform in awhile. That she works for ABC News makes it even better,” said Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald.

“The funniest thing isn’t that ChapGPT hallucinated a Woodrow Wilson pardon. It’s that a robot spat out the name ‘Hunter deButts’ and none of this sounded out of place to Ana Navarro, a supposed political insider and commentator. Not even a curious follow-up Google search,” wrote T. Becket Adams, the program director for The National Journalism Center Program.

“I like to think that if Siri told me Calvin Coolidge once pardoned ‘Amanda Hugginkiss,’ I’d do a quick follow-up because I have never heard this before,” he added.

Other reactions to Navarro’s ChatGPT-blaming rolled in.

It’s just another fork in the butt of mainstream media credibility… in Navarro’s case, a big one.
