A GOP Florida congresswoman ripped a profile of her by the Washington Post as error-filled and “incredibly racist,” and the paper was forced to issue a correction — for claiming the lawmaker was once a Democrat.
Freshman Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who represents the state’s west coast, said the paper misrepresented basic facts about her life and falsely suggested she had leaned into her Hispanic heritage for political gain.
“Holy s— the Washington post just tried to claim my dad was never incarcerated, left out comments from my mom, said I was a registered Democrat, and did not report a convo they had with a former roommate, and interviewed ‘family’ I don’t talk to. This is comical,” she tweeted after the article was published Friday. Luna, the first Mexican-American to represent the Sunshine State in Congress, later told Fox News the outlet tried to “undercut my Hispanic heritage.”

Nee, Anna Paulina Mayerhofer
To all voting skeptics who think that their vote doesn’t count or they’re all the same, may I introduce you to the next generation of fighters.
only clicked on to see if there were more pictures
OFFS! If you are a “conservative” why whine about being hiss-panic? NOT minority status. Kinda whiteish eurpeanish.
Mexican isn’t a race.
Hispanic isn’t a race.
Alinksy: make the other side live up to their own rules.
they need to tread lightly
husband is special forces
They can never be credentialed fake news, unless they make stuff up.
Doesn’t matter, the ComPost did its job.
Next comes the SNL skits.
My Congresswoman
She”s awesome!
I hold myself to a higher standard than Democrats.
If we don’t, how are we any better?
Though for those ”in the game”, you’re probably correct.
It’s easy for me to say so while sitting at my place behind an anonymous screen name.
“...leaned into her Hispanic heritage for political gain.”
Unlike Elizabeth Warren who leaned into her fake Indian heritage for political gain.
These stories would go away if people just elected white, conservative, Christian men. /ss
I think she didn't realize that this is standard Washington Post practice.
Okay, I'll bite.
What are you talking about?
Santos probably deserves the hook, but what you are seeing here is the Democrats using any means necessary to erase the thin GOP House margin. Santos would likely be replaced by a Dem, Luna’s district is a toss-up, and would have a GOP appointee at least until a special election could be held, were she to be taken out. Watch for this kind of concerted attack against other GOP House members. Why the GOP never goes on offense and pursues some of this strategy, I do not know.
I wonder if her full name would be Anna Paulina Mayerhofer Luna de (husband’s name)
People change their names all the time. And if her dad was a jerk, why not.
Yeah, this is what liberals do. Sandy Cortez who grew up wealth is supposed represent all latinas, but this woman, who has served in the military and has a story more akin to regular normies, is to be ignored or lied about.
