Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's official biography is a pack of lies, as a long and detailed exposé in the Washington Post details.
By Ed Scarce February 10, 2023
The reporting in the Washington Post is too long and detailed to post here but the Daily Beast has a helpful Coles notes version of her many lies. The freshman congresswoman's main claims to fame before entering politics were posing in Gentleman's magazines, often in bathing suits or holding guns.
And though she claims Jewish heritage, like Santos, it turns out that instead her grandfather was a real Nazi. Oops. Slight oversight there.

A damning Washington Post report has questioned several aspects of freshman Rep. Anna Paulina Lunas (R-FL) life story, from her religious and ethnic identity to her impoverished upbringing. Lunas claim that she grew up poor and isolated, with her father in and out of prison, was not supported by prison records or two relatives who spoke to the Post. When she served at Whiteman Air Force Base a decade ago, she described herself to friends as alternatively Middle Eastern, Jewish or Eastern European, the Post reported. She identified as a white Democrat in voting records but, after entering the political sphere around 2019, she legally changed her last name from Mayerhofer to her Hispanic mothers family name of Luna and began identifying as Hispanic. Her claim to have a Messianic Jewish father was also disputed by three relatives and immigration records that indicated Lunas paternal grandfather was a reluctant soldier in the Nazi regime. Her of-repeated story of enduring a traumatizing home invasion at Whiteman was also undercut by police records. Lunas office declined to address the allegations to the Post.
