On Monday's episode of ABC's “The View,” co-host Ana Navarro told viewers in Florida's 27th Congressional District to vote for Democratic candidate Eliott Rodriguez over Republican incumbent Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, saying “we can actually knock this woman out.” Navarro noted she lives in the district and said the race, which Salazar won by 20 points two years ago in a district Trump carried by 15 points, is now polling “dead even.” The remarks prompted accusations from commentators and media watchdogs that Navarro engaged in electioneering, which they argue could violate ABC's broadcast license and FCC equal-time rules. Washington Examiner columnist Joe Concha called it a “blatant violation.” ABC has separately sued the FCC over a related probe into the show.

What is contested
Where accounts differ
Points the coverage does not agree on, and who says what.
Whether Navarro's comments constitute an actionable violation of FCC broadcast license or electioneering rules
Washington Examiner's Joe Concha and Townhall both assert unambiguously that this is a violation deserving license revocation; RedState frames it as a possible violation that could jeopardize the license; Breitbart notes the question was a subject of debate among watchdog groups and commentators rather than settled fact.
