[Pinellas County, Florida]: The Republican congresswoman who represents the Sunshine State’s 13th Congressional District told RedState that her campaign manager and the campaign manager’s father are part of the escalation of violence by Democrats in this hard-fought House race.
“A male supporter of Whitney Fox shook her father’s hand at the early polling place in Clearwater before coming into contact with my campaign manager and her father,” said Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who won her seat in 2022, defeating the former Obama citizen in the White House was enforced by security guard Eric Lynn. Fox is the Democratic nominee and a political activist supported by Emily’s List.
“This comes weeks after her supporters doxxed my home address online,” the congresswoman said. who often campaigns with President Donald J. Trumpsaid.
“This violence is despicable and is caused by the rhetoric of the media and my opponent,” said Paulina Luna. “This has not yet been condemned by my opponent or the local liberal media that has promoted her.”
The congresswoman said investigators have video of the attack.
“This was witnessed by dozens of people,” the Air Force veteran said.
“The Clearwater Police Department is reviewing the footage,” she said.
On the Air Force’s birthday of all days, Luna published that the threats had become very solemn.
“My office has received a very serious shooting threat,” she said. “This divisive and hate campaign against Republicans will get someone killed. I will not allow myself to be threatened or intimidated or bow down to those who use violence as a means to achieve their goals. We will win.”
Luna said she won’t stop fighting for the people who elected her, but she asked for support: “Please keep my family in your prayers. Hate has no place here.”
The shooting threat was confirmed by the St. Petersburg Police Departmentand it happened around the same time that a Facebook user claiming to be Luna’s neighbor posted: “I know where she lives in case anyone is interested in sending her a love letter or… something.” She lives just around the corner.”
Democrats target Paulina Luna with family slander
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee made Paulina Luna one of their top targets because this was her first re-election bid and it was a seat held by former Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who was running for governor in 2022.
Luna is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and the Second Amendment Caucus, and in the 2023 election for House Speaker, the congresswoman voted against California Republican Rep. Kevin McCarthy.
In one Aug. 21,800 will be remembered Speaking to “interested parties,” Chairwoman Suzan DelBene called out Paulina Luna over her family background, questioned whether her father was, as she described it, a messianic Jew, and disparaged her grandfather, who was drafted into the Army during World War II became: “Actually, according to…” For Luna’s uncle, her “paternal grandfather was a Nazi who fought in the German army in World War II.”
The National Socialists were the ruling party of Germany, but conscripts were not necessarily party members. The DCCC presented no evidence that Luna’s grandfather was a Nazi.
The DCCC attack memo came a month after a political operative posing as Robert Black, the modern chief of staff to Republican Texas Gov. Gregorg W. Abbott, contacted Paulina Luna.
The fraudulent black man claimed that Abbott wanted to talk to Paulina Luna about how to beat Fox: “When I heard from the Democrats, they raised a lot and had opposition.”
When the congresswoman didn’t respond, the fraudulent black man lashed out: “You’re really smart, APL. But you will lose. At least you still have your fake t-shirts.” Then: “Fake smile. False life. Fake Jewish Person – If you were a real Jew, you wouldn’t text on the Sabbath.”
Polls show Paulina Luna leading the race:
The battle for the House is a subplot in a presidential year, but with the GOP holding a 220-212 majority in three vacant seats, Democrats are just six seats away from taking control of the House.
A The Club for Growth survey was conducted on October 6th and 7th found that Luna led Fox with 51 percent of the likely vote, compared to 45 percent of likely voters who supported Fox.
That poll was roughly in line with the Club for Growth’s August poll, which had Luna leading Fox by a 48 percent to 43 percent margin.
