A Republican Florida congresswoman whose opponent labeled her a “threat to democracy” claimed her Democratic opponent’s “irresponsible rhetoric” has led her to suffer an unhinged harassment campaign.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, who represents Florida’s 13th District, said she’s been doxxed and had threatening packages sent to her home, according to a lengthy Saturday post on X.
“When you label people a threat to democracy and attempt to dehumanize/lie about them, violence occurs,” wrote Luna, a staunch ally of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Luna did not name her Democratic challenger, Whitney Fox, in her post.
A screenshot of one menacing remark the lawmaker shared conveyed that the poster knew where Luna lived and suggested others should send a “love letter or … something” to the politician.
“The fact that this went on for weeks is not only abhorrent, but also it is shameful,” Luna wrote.
“The fact is, FL-13 is not and has never been a winnable seat for Democrats. However, the irresponsible rhetoric and attempt to dupe the district into thinking otherwise is what led to this.”
