Rep. Anna Paulina Luna rips Daily Beast's 'nasty' headline taking reported exchange with Trump out of context
Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna slammed The Daily Beast's "nasty" framing of an alleged exchange President Trump had with her on his plane.

So, in other words, what happened was that Trump noticed that Luna, a pregnant woman, was ill, and offered her a bed to rest herself in; he then followed up with an in-character charismatic yet cavalier joke about it. That really is about it.
Anna Paulina Luna MAGA!!!!!! If this photo doesn't help you be more patriotic, I don't know what can.
Now sure, I can understand that a man lending a woman a bed without his own wife present could maybe possibly have an appearance of impropriety sometimes. But we have The Daily Beast here intentionally sensationalizing the headline by pointing to one direction about what happened, while something else entirely was actually true.
Trump was being a gentleman by helping a pregnant woman, and ensuring her that she was in safe hands medically. The Daily Beast uses this to falsely insinuate that he and Luna perhaps have an inappropriate, adulterous affair. In other words, The yellow journalists at the Daily Beast have committed libel against both Anna Paulina Luna and President Donald Trump. Hell, this isn't even the first time the Daily Beast have done this in a way that involves both Luna and Trump.
The appearance of impropriety is a very important thing to avoid, yes. And while Trump joked to Luna to "not tell Melania" acknowledging such optics, there was ultimately not even a slight whiff of wrongdoing between the two, and never has been. The only appearance of impropriety here is by the Daily Beast, and any of their writers who will distort the truth in any way possible if it means making Trump and his associates look bad. I would say that the Daily Beast are the second worst and second most useless world institution which calls itself a "beast" of any variety.
A spineless man of little moral conviction, i.e. an apostatic former Christian, with a punchable face that exudes blandness. And if you're a "trans widow" whose marriage was ruined by your spouse "exploring their gender identity", he won't care about you; and if the transitioner is his friend, he'll easily care more about the transitioner. All while making content that appeals to and targets children.
...and that is a terrible beard.
And it is not even the first time that the mainstream media has insulted the female Trump supporters and female Republicans in Trump's orbit by suggesting that "they're sleeping with Trump". Such a device has been used against Laura Loomer, Nikki Haley, and Natalie Harp; and frankly, there is no serious evidence there outside of people saying that it might be true. Which is not evidence at all. (Although I will say the last one, Harp, really seems like a genuine nutter. But hey, if she does a great job and is very devoted at it, then she's an asset.) It's simply a trope - yes, a form of misogyny - to levy against confident, strong women with greater-than-average societal power who resist leftism, do not conform to the mainstream media's agendas, and are not feminists in the colloquial sense.
In other words, while the Trump affairs and "sexual misconduct allegations" of decades past are a thing, it did not take long during Trump's first presidency for that angle to be essentially played out and exhausted.
Yet the justice system, clearly rigged against Trump, has wanted to push such an angle to its most maximum extreme, then try to push it even further. Irrelevant Stormy is at the center of Trump's 34 counts. And watch E. Jean Carroll (a full-blown nutter with few redeeming qualities) as she indulgently jokes and fantasizes, like a classic Democrat about how she'll use $83,000,000 of someone else's money that she didn't earn.
And here is the mainstream media, and the Daily Beast, wanting to push this angle even farther than that!
While the Daily Beast were kind of nice to Trump after the Butler shooting, they are particularly relentless against him and his allies. The embodiment of why MSM, during the 2024 election cycle, gave so much negative coverage to Trump and so much positive coverage to Kamala, despite Kamala having the personality of a bloated frog carcass. The Daily Beast even wrote a front-page article trying to publicly pressure 43rd president George W. Bush; a Republican moderate who is perhaps even "more moderate" in his post-Presidency years; into endorsing Kamala, likely thinking about how his daughter Barbara Bush, his VP Dick Cheney, and the latter's own daughter Liz Cheney had endorsed her.
It doesn't work that way. You can't force a specific individual to exhibit moral and political values outside of their terms, or even outside of their own values.
I had, here and there, checked on the Daily Beast over the last few years. Part of the reason is to "keep an eye on the competition". But they conjure so much negative energy and spite toward half-plus of the American people and their values constantly, that I think I should live without that. As well as live without the celebrity gossip side of the website, too. If I have a call to action with this post, it is to tell anyone reading: Do not support the Daily Beast, and give that website and its articles as little traffic and clicks as possible, preferably none.
And as for Anna Paulina Luna, she really has to be one of my top five favorite congresspeople right now. Not only is she a badass, tenacious politician, but is also a former model and a five-year veteran of the US Air Force. She's worn a lot of hats in life, and I have no doubt she has been great for Florida and America overall.
To the biological men who want inside women's locker rooms because they "feel like women": would you still insist strongly on doing that if she was standing guard in front of those and similar spaces?
