Scottie Nell Hughes, a CNN pundit supporting Donald Trump, probably regrets asking her colleague Ana Navarro to stop quoting Donald Trump.

During a panel discussing Friday's revelation of Donald Trump's obscene comments about women, Navarro was discussing Trump's use of the phrase, "Grab them by the pussy," Hughes interjected to say, "Will you please stop saying that word? My daughter is listening."

Navarro immediately reacted to the hypocrisy of Hughes's request.

"You know what Scottie? Don’t tell me you’re offended when I say ‘pussy,’ but you’re not offended when Donald Trump says it," said Navarro. "I'm not running for president -- he is."

The show then went to commercial. When it returned, Navarro was gone. She later tweeted that she'd left the studio and was going to bed.

A clip showing the facial reactions of various panel members when Navarro quoted Trump has been retweeted more than 20,000 times since it was posted.
