Air Force veteran and former Turning Point USA spokesperson Anna Paulina Luna has just announced she is running for the U.S. Congress against Democratic Congressman Charlie Crist in Florida’s 13th congressional district.

In her announcement video filled with pro-America, pro-Military images, the Mexican-American Luna tells her family’s story of addiction and her personal story of perseverance and personal accomplishments.

“This community deserves to be served by someone who isn’t afraid to stand up and fight for its future. Throughout my life, I’ve been knocked down, underestimated and told I wasn’t enough. But every time, I picked myself up and came back fighting. I’m a warrior… and I’ll fight with the same passion for the people of Pinellas County,” said Luna. “I’m extremely excited to earn the opportunity to represent Florida’s 13th District in Congress. I look forward to protecting our veterans and service members, the Constitution and our natural environment. I can’t wait to meet every voter, share my plan and earn their support.”

Here is more proof.

Amanda Makki for Congress is at The Anthem.

September 7 at 9:50 PM · Washington ·

Before the beginning of this evening’s program with President Bush and VP Cheney, I visited with two American patriots and public servants —Attorney General John Ashcroft and Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne.

A fifth Republican has entered the race to oust Congressman Charlie Crist from office. Air Force veteran Anna Paulina Luna announced Monday she was joining the race to bring conservative values back to the district.

Luna joins an already crowded field in the Republican primary for Florida’s 13th Congressional District. Also running are former U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski staffer Amanda Makki, former attorney Sheila Griffin, Matt Becker and perennial candidate George Buck.

Bucking conservative stereotypes, the Republican crowd is diverse. It now includes an Iranian-American (Makki), an African-American (Griffin) and, now, a Latina.

Luna announced her candidacy in a video Monday. In it, she describes a harrowing childhood plagued by poverty, drug addiction and homelessness.

What party? Might want to ask what theology. Hard to tell. She is a supporter of DACA and the military at the same time. She is an hispanic activist trying to use the same tactics in a more rounded world.

I’m always uncomfortable with anyone that uses their military history to further their political career no matter how good it was. John Kerry is a perfect example.

Need to hear her more before I start thinking of replacing anyone. Sometimes getting is not better than having.

Well, that would be my concern. I don’t care if she was military or not. I care that she would be a better Trump MAGA supporter than the current guy she might replace,

Anna Paulina is no stranger to controversy. In 2018, she was appearing as a guest on Fox News during a segment on Thanksgiving morning. Fox News host Rick Leventhal was talking about Hillary Clinton and her email controversy.Leventhal said, “I am amazed that with everything going on in the world, we still have Hillary Clinton in the headlines.” At that point Paulina responded, “She won’t go away. She’s like herpes.”

“I care that she would be a better Trump MAGA supporter than the current guy she might replace,”

As do I. But she appears to be, at this point, a loose cannon party wise. Information on her I can find leads me to believe she is a mexican activist trying to slip in under the radar using her military record and support aspect. And supporting DACA is a real telltale on that.

Trump has been trying to end that program since his election and the socialists have been using it as a tools to gain in votes since 2012 by side stepping the immigration laws and policies with it. Obama took care of that.

So, the question surfaces, with the indications her history and rheteric display, can she be trusted to act as a responsible conservative and back out on her openly exhibited liberal/socialist commitments?

Even Bill Clinton went middle when he was trying to get elected.
