In a fiery X post on Monday, Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna called out 'members on both sides' for what she characterized as inappropriate and unlawful behavior, demanding that her congressional colleagues stop sexually harassing their staffers. Luna announced she would be holding a conference call to explain to members that sexually harassing staff and interns is illegal, adding a vulgar message to 'pull your s*** together' and 'stop molesting the staff'.

Why it matters

Luna's post represents the latest salvo in her ongoing war against powerful sexual predators in Congress. The issue of sexual harassment and misconduct by members of Congress has been a longstanding problem, with calls for greater transparency and accountability around settlement funds used to pay off accusers.

The details

In her X post, Luna said she was 'about to do a conference all-call to explain to members on both sides that it is illegal to sexually harass staff and interns.' She then resorted to vulgarity, telling her colleagues to 'pull your s*** together' and 'stop molesting the staff.' Luna's post came after she retweeted a report that Republican Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas 'asked a staffer for nude photos more than 12 times in 3 days during his 2020 congressional campaign.' Luna said she would vote to expel both Gonzales and Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick over ethics violations.
