Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is the subject of a hit piece at Washington Post today. NOT COINCIDENTALLY she said during a hearing this week that the Border Patrol does not have a white supremacy problem.
You see how this works, yes?
The hit piece is attempting to paint her as a fabrication, and their first piece of evidence was that she was a registered Democrat in Washington in 2017.
EXCEPT NOPE.
We incorrectly stated that Anna Paulina Luna was reg’d as a Dem in Washington state in 2017 based on an erroneous voter reg database. Wash only requires voters declare party affiliation when they cast a ballot in a POTUS primary. So sorry for the error! https://t.co/YBzo8wawZU

You know what I love about that is that htey have to admit THERE WAS AN ERROR IN A VOTER ROLL.
But I don’t understand, Santa, didn’t you promise that there’s no such think as errors in elections? Fascinating!
Anyway, the fact that they got this BASIC fact wrong gives them no pause on the rest of their wild speculation, spurious accusations, or faulty conclusions. And it of course won’t even make the rest of the media blink. That’s how propaganda works. Proving it wrong is irrelevant because the narrative is what matters. Fake but True!
Luna has been tearing them apart on her Twitter and she has more to come.

It’s a disaster of a story easily debunked. Here’s one example from Fox News.
In another instance, the Post story appears to question details about Luna’s childhood. The story reported that Luna has claimed her biological father was in and out of jail, which led to a chaotic upbringing, but also stressed that the paper could find no evidence that Luna’s father, George Mayerhofer, was ever incarcerated.
However, Luna’s office easily provided Fox News Digital with Lexis-Nexis reports that show Mayerhofer did spend time behind bars.
A court filing for a drug felony charged against Mayerhofer shows he was arrested and went through court proceedings in custody, and was brought back into custody for violating probation agreements. The court records show his case was dismissed.
“Rep. Luna’s dad was literally in and out of jail, was homeless at one point, and on food stamps. As a child, Rep. Luna was uprooted from different homes repeatedly and went through six different schools in high school,” Luna’s communications director Edie Heipel told Fox.
She’s going on Fox later tonight, it will hopefully be even more devastating.
