Rep. Luna says authorities investigating 'very serious shooting threat' against her
Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) said she was the subject of a “very serious shooting threat,” and she blamed "rhetoric" coming from "the left."
"Over the last few weeks, I have received an increasing number of threats and doxxing attacks. An online page was encouraging strangers to send threatening packages to my home,” she said in a statement Wednesday. “This weekend, it escalated to a very serious shooting threat, and we are taking every necessary step to ensure the safety of my family, staff, and our district.”
She said law enforcement was actively investigating the matter and that her office would provide updates.
Luna says the threat against her came hours before former President Trump’s second assassination attempt on Sunday.
“The left continues to push a radical agenda of hate and rhetoric that leads to violence. Just hours before this threat to my office, we saw how there was a second assassination attempt on President Trump's life,” Luna said. “We will NOT be threatened or intimidated by those using violence to push their narrative and try and win an election.”
She added that Democrats, “keep directing hatred and violence toward Republicans” but the GOP will “never stop fighting for our great country and ensure those who feel unheard have a voice in Washington.”
The Florida Republican concluded by asking, "Please keep us in your prayers."
The Hill has reached out to Luna's office.
