The View spent years calling JD Vance a disgrace to America.
Today he walked into their studio and made them look like fools.
Ana Navarro just tried to lecture a sitting Vice President about ICE detention conditions – and Vance hit her with a number she couldn't answer.
Vance Threw the Real Child Crisis Back in Their Faces
Navarro came loaded with talking points.
Over 50 people are dead in ICE custody. Thousands of children are in detention.
She urged Vance – as a Christian and a father – to visit Dilley Detention Center.

Vance didn't blink.
"We know that, during the last administration, we had tens of thousands of children who were sex-trafficked by cartels, brought into our country in profoundly dangerous and predatory conditions," he said.
That's not a political talking point.
That's a documented catastrophe the Biden administration created and The View never once covered with this level of urgency.
Last week, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche put the number on record: more than 475,000 unaccompanied children were trafficked into the U.S. during the Biden years.
Over 300,000 of them are still unaccounted for.
The Trump administration has located 13,000 of those children so far.
DHS Secretary Noem confirmed the Biden administration left behind a backlog of more than 65,000 ignored reports about children who crossed the border unaccompanied.
Sixty-five thousand ignored reports.
Navarro didn't ask Biden to visit a detention center.
She never held a camera crew hostage by demanding Mayorkas answer for a single missing child.
Today she wanted Vance to feel bad about enforcing the laws that are cleaning up that disaster.
The Part Navarro Admitted That You Won't See in the Headline
Here's what got buried: Navarro actually conceded the Trump administration did a "good job closing the border."
Vance thanked her.
"We're going to get you back, Ana," he quipped – and she smirked.

That exchange tells you everything about what actually happened today.
The woman who spent years calling this administration dangerous and cruel just admitted, on live television, that their border enforcement worked.
The co-hosts tried to redirect to Epstein files, to old Vance quotes about Trump, to anything other than staying on immigration ground where Vance was winning.
Sunny Hostin insisted ICE was using "children as bait" and separating families.
Vance answered directly: "Unless you enforce the border, you invite that kind of conduct."
He was right. Navarro knew it.
The smirk said the rest.
What Vance Understood That They Never Will
Navarro called the detention conditions "inhumane."
Vance called cartel sex trafficking inhumane.
One of those things was happening at an industrial scale for four years while The View cheered the people responsible.
The Heritage Foundation documented it. The DOJ confirmed it.

HHS whistleblowers testified to Congress about it – children working overnight shifts at factories and slaughterhouses, hundreds of thousands of minors placed with unvetted sponsors who turned out to be smugglers and predators.
The same politicians who screamed about "kids in cages" went silent when actual slavery was taking root across sanctuary cities.
That's the version of compassion Vance was defending today – the one that asks what happened to the 300,000 children who vanished on Biden's watch.
He walked into the lion's den and left with their own co-host conceding his administration got the job done.
That's not a bad Tuesday.
