The news comes after CNN contributor April Ryan had been slated to interview then-Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg

Navarro, also a co-host on ABC's "The View," is part of CNN's opinion side and not an anchor or host.
Still, some journalists and political pundits took to social media Wednesday to question if a network commentator should participate in political campaign events.
Feels like we’ve entered an age of cable where surrogates and hosts just can blend into official campaign functions and no one really cares. Sean Duffy

MediaMatters loves to pounce on Fox talent even if it's nothing more than a book signing. So why hasn't @ehananoki called out CNN for this?

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.
