Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida ripped The Washington Post’s treatment of conservative minorities Friday, saying that the media outlet’s “completely false” report on her background had an “incredibly racist” undertone.

“They did start out with saying that I basically made up the fact that my father never went to jail and, as you saw with the records that we sent to Fox News, that’s completely false. You know, my story, growing up within the welfare system, going to over six high schools,” Luna told “Jesse Watters Primetime” guest host Will Cain. “That’s not something that the Washington Post wants to tell the truth about.”
Luna added that the newspaper omitted information from some interviews that contradicted claims published by the outlet. The Post later added a correction on one of its claims, admitting Luna had not registered to vote as a Democrat while in Washington state.
“They also proceeded to leave out an entire interview with a roommate that I had that debunked a bizarre claim made by someone that was apparently stationed with me that claimed that I owned a firearm during this break-in,” Luna said, noting that her attorneys sent the paper a letter demanding a correction. Luna added that People magazine had agreed to hold off publishing an article until after her appearance on Fox News.
WATCH:
Luna defeated Democratic candidate Eric Lynn for Florida’s 13th Congressional District, securing 53.1% of the vote in the Nov. 8 midterm elections after she narrowly lost to then-Democratic Rep. Charlie Crist in 2020.
“It’s awful how they treat minorities and the fact is the undertone of the article was incredibly racist. They tried to undercut my Hispanic heritage,” Luna said. “They even spoke to my mother and did a report on what she was posting. The Washington Post is compost and they should do better.”
Luna accused the Post of targeting her because she was a conservative Hispanic woman after Cain brought up attacks on Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, who is black.
“I think that my story is something that they didn’t want to believe is true. Again, I grew up within the welfare system. I went to over six high schools. My parents were never married. I think also one of the craziest claims that they’re trying to say I wasn’t raised as a messianic Jew. You know, I have documentation and photos of my father at synagogue. My mother confirmed this to the Washington Post,” Luna said.
“But again, they don’t want people like me to have credibility, so what they try to do is attack the reputation. Mind you, this is also a few days after though I went after Yoel Roth and Twitter for exposing them as being joint state actors,” Luna continued. “So, I am on congressional oversight. I do believe that they are trying to again attack my credibility and I’m not going to let them get away with it. The American people deserve honest representation. I’m exactly that and I have the receipts to prove it.”
Luna and the Washington Post did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

EDITOR’S NOTE: What is behind the current war against America’s children? Why are so many adults killing their unborn children right up to the moment of birth, or even after? Why are millions of kids sexualized virtually from birth, and injected with an experimental “vaccine” proven to be both ineffective and dangerous, then as toddlers transported to events glorifying mentally ill, demonically possessed men dressed as women?
Why are America’s children systematically sexualized at school, and by transgender recruiters on social media platforms like TikTok, seducing many into “identifying” as the opposite gender, or a brand-new imaginary gender, then encouraged to take powerful drugs and hormones and have their healthy breasts amputated or undergo chemical or surgical castration?
Why are our children simultaneously indoctrinated with toxic Marxist ideologies like “critical race theory” intended to condition them to hate and reject their own country, parents, faith, race, gender and themselves? Why are they simultaneously being frightened of the future by being fed lurid, terrifying – and groundless – apocalyptic tales of the imminent destruction of the world due to global warming?
No wonder youth suicides have skyrocketed, as have depression, anxiety, addiction and drug overdoses. Indeed, fentanyl, the No. 1 cause of death of younger Americans 18 to 45, destroys multitudes of children annually.
Make no mistake: The harm being done to America’s children in this multi-front war is not accidental: Children are the primary target.
WHY? How can all this be happening in the greatest nation on earth? Who and what is behind it? And HOW CAN IT BE STOPPED?
