Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna addressed a video of herself dancing in a 'Make America Great Again' swimsuit recently resurfacing online.
Luna, 35, an Air Force veteran and former model, initially posed in the one-piece with former President Donald Trump's famous slogan at the time of his 2016 presidential campaign.
"I’m confirming that I have indeed worn swimsuits and you can tell I am biologically a woman. #MAGA," Luna wrote on her X account Wednesday (August 14) afternoon before sharing several follow-up posts blaming Democrats for her video resurfacing.
"There are better to do with your time than digging up modeling photos of me from almost a decade ago. The left is attempting to make this a thing yet can’t define a woman. Very low IQ behavior. Get over it," Luna wrote, taking aim at Democratic politicians' support of the transgender community.
Luna blamed Democrats for re-sharing the video and received support from many conservatives, though some alt-right accounts also criticized the revealing video.
Luna, who received endorsements from Trump and Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, was elected to represent Florida's 13th district in the U.S. House of Representatives in November 2022, defeating Democratic nominee and becoming the first Mexican-American woman elected to congress from the state.
