Sunday on ABC’s “This Week,” while discussing if the FBI reopening the investigation into Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton will mean there could be a close enough election to be contested as happened in 2000, Republican strategist Ana Navarro said the voters “are faced with a choice between a bad person or a person with bad judgment. It is a very bad choice for the American people.”

They are faced with a choice between a bad person or a person with bad judgment. It is a very bad choice for the American people.
