Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) said in a Wednesday interview on NewsNation’s “Cuomo” that she is more concerned with her safety as a member of Congress than when she served in the military, following apparent threats against her.
“It doesn’t feel safe right now to be in politics, and I really want to emphasize that we’re at a point in American history where you have people afraid to come to work,” Luna said in the interview with host Chris Cuomo.
At the same time, Luna said she’s still “up for the job.”
The Hill has previously reported on Luna saying she has received “an increasing number of threats and doxxing attacks.”
“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.””
