The View’s Ana Navarro-Cárdenas blamed ChatGPT for her embarrassing blunder by claiming that President Woodrow Wilson had pardoned a fictional man named “Hunter deButts.”
Navarro-Cárdenas, 52, went to X Monday in defense of President Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter Biden — a move he repeatedly said he would not do.
She claimed that the 28th president pardoned DeButts, whom he described as his brother-in-law. There is no record of Wilson having a relative under that name, an online sleuth discovered when he did a deep dive on X.
Despite adding a community note to her post stating that there was “no evidence that Wilson had a brother-in-law named ‘Hunter DeButts,'” the controversial host did not delete or edit the post.
A day later she finally replied: to write: “Hey Twitter sleuths, thanks for taking the time to provide context. Record it with Chat GPT…’
Her post included a screenshot of the popular AI system, which showed Wilson “pardoning Hunter deButts, his brother-in-law, after he was court-martialed for military misconduct during World War I.”
AI chat systems are known to be sometimes wildly fictional, as they do not fact-check answers, but rather draw from all the information on the internet – real or true.
ChatGPT is estimated to be about 89 percent accurate Multi-task language comprehension.

AI chatbots can experience a “hallucination,” generating false or misleading responses IBM.
The tech company recommends that people “validate” the information provided to them by AI chatbots to ensure it is correct.
This is not the first time Navarro-Cárdenas has used ChatGPT to amplify her political views.
On November 30, she posted another screenshot from ChatGPT about Charles Kushner, who was nominated by President-elect Donald Trump as ambassador to France.
The host’s apology for the debut debacle only seemed to anger fellow journalists, who expressed surprise that the talk show host would rely on AI for her facts.
‘The funniest thing isn’t that ChapGPT hallucinated a pardon from Woodrow Wilson. It’s that a robot spit out the name “Hunter deButts” and none of this sounded out of place to Ana Navarro, an alleged political insider and commentator. Not even a curious follow-up Google search,” wrote T. Becket Adams, a columnist for The Hill on X.
“I like to think that if Siri told me that Calvin Coolidge had once pardoned ‘Amanda Hugginkiss’ I would take quick action because I’ve never heard this before,” he continued.
“It’s a wonder that such chronically incurious people tend to gain a regular place on opinion shows on cable news,” Adams added in a follow-up post.
No records show that Woodrow Wilson had a relative named Hunter deButts
Fellow journalist Glenn Greenwald found her writing blunder hilarious on X: “This Hunter deButts thing is honestly one of the all-time funniest things to happen in the media and on this platform in a while. The fact that she works for ABC News makes it even more fun.”
Navarro’s original argument came after Biden made a shock announcement Sunday night that he would grant a presidential pardon to Hunter, calling his prosecution on gun and tax evasion charges “selective” and “unfair.”
The surprise U-turn decision sees Hunter pardoned for any crimes he may have committed “from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.”
Biden himself said in June that, unlike Trump – who has said outright that he wants to pardon the January 6 rioters – he would not pardon Hunter.
“From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Department of Justice’s decision-making, and I have kept my word even as I watched my son be selectively and unjustly prosecuted,” Biden said in a statement. declaration.
The president claimed that people “are almost never brought to trial on a felony charge solely because of the way they filled out a gun form…It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.”
Biden railed against “several of my political opponents in Congress,” who he claimed were turning the accusations into a public spectacle “to attack me and oppose my election.”
He added that the plea deal that Hunter, who has since vowed to “make amends” for his crimes, reached with the Justice Department was a “fair, reasonable resolution of Hunter’s cases.” But that deal fell through at the last minute due to political pressure.

“No reasonable person looking at the facts of Hunter’s cases could come to any conclusion other than that Hunter was singled out solely because he is my son – and that is wrong,” the president continued.
Biden said there was an attempt to “break” Hunter and destroy what he said was five and a half years of sobriety.
“By breaking Hunter, they tried to break me too, and there’s no reason to think it will stop here. Enough is enough.’
The president did not shy away from pointing out that his son’s love guided his decision-making, but emphasized that he was “fair.”
“Here’s the truth: I believe in the justice system, but as I’ve struggled with this, I also believe that raw politics has infected this process and led to a miscarriage of justice — and when I made this decision this weekend, there was no feel like postponing it further.’
