The full breadth of President Donald Trump’s entourage of American business leaders and dignitaries was unveiled during a welcoming ceremony in China early Thursday morning, which included an appearance of one individual who incensed a political analyst.
Ana Navarro, a CNN commentator, noted that Brett Ratner, who directed Melania Trump’s eponymous documentary on Amazon, was among those selected by Trump to travel with his delegation. Ratner’s travel to China on the U.S. taxpayers’ dime incensed Navarro because of his sordid history in Hollywood and the harm he’s caused to some women.
“There is also another person who is in this official delegation, and that was on Air Force One, and that’s Brett Ratner, who was the director and producer of the ‘Melania’ movie,” Navarro said on CNN’s “NewsNight.” “But let us remember, Brett Ratner had been basically banished from Hollywood in 2017 because there were very serious sexual predatory allegations against him.”
“His name is all over the Epstein file because of his association with Epstein,” she continued. And so, because he volunteered to do that documentary on Melania, that Amazon allegedly paid $40 million for, he is now being brought back and rehabilitated by Donald Trump.”
“I find it appalling, appalling, and I urge people to go look up the women,” she added. “Some of the biggest names in Hollywood who spoke up against the sexual harassment and sexual acts of Brett Ratner, which included things like masturbating in front of them. And there he is as part of the official U.S. delegation flying on Air Force One on our dime. I find that appalling.”
