Michael Avenatti cohosted ABC’s “The View” on Friday, and guest host Ana Navarro was clearly glad to see him. During one segment, the CNN contributor likened Avenatti to the “Holy Spirit.”

She said, “You’re all places at all times.”

Navarro explained, “Lately, to me, you’re like the Holy Spirit. You are all places at all times. Right. I mean, I do — I see you all over cable news, I see — there’s a seat available if you want to be a co-host at ‘The View.’ There’s people here you can pitch. He’d be a great lady around the table … No, but, so, I have the same issue with Giuliani. He’s everywhere. When do you have time to be lawyering? To do real lawyering? You’re representing — ”

Joy Behar interrupted, saying, “[Avenatti] has a bigger calling here. Being a lawyer is minimal compared to what he’s doing.”

Navarro interrupted, “The priesthood?”

Behar continued, “He’s out there saving the country,” and went on to complain that Donald Trump was also everywhere. “He’s ubiquitous.”

Meghan McCain shrugged it off, explaining, “He is the President of the United States.”

“Is he? Not mine,” Behar snarked back.
