(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) A GOP Florida congresswoman destroyed the Washington Post‘s hit piece on her, saying that it is error-filled and “incredibly racist,” with Bezos‘s paper being forced to issue a correction — for claiming the lawmaker was once a Democrat.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., said that the paper misrepresented basic facts about her life and falsely suggested Luna used her Hispanic heritage to get elected, according to the New York Post.
“Holy s— the Washington Post just tried to claim my dad was never incarcerated, left out comments from my mom, said I was a registered Democrat, and did not report a convo they had with a former roommate, and interviewed ‘family’ I don’t talk to,” she tweeted on Friday after the article was published.
“This is comical.”
Luna then went on Fox News to say that WaPo tried to “undercut my Hispanic heritage.”
“It’s awful how they treat minorities. And the fact is, is that their undertone of their article was incredibly racist. The Washington Post is composted and they should do better,” she said.
“The racist undertone of the article is pretty mind-blowing. When you see how they treat minority conservatives, this isn’t about reporting the truth.”
The paper then issued a correction later on Friday.
“A previous version of this story incorrectly stated that Anna Paulina Luna was registered as a Democrat in Washington state in 2017 based on an erroneous voter registration database,” the paper wrote at the top of its article.
“Washington state only requires voters to declare their party affiliation when they cast a ballot in a presidential primary.”
“Luna’s roommate in Missouri was the only person interviewed by police after a break-in at their apartment; she was not the only person mentioned in the police report,” the paper added.
Luna also accused the paper of coming after her because of her tough questions during a Tuesday hearing for former Twitter censor Yoel Roth.
“I went after Yoel Roth and Twitter for exposing them for being joint state actors. I do believe they are trying to attack my credibility.”
