GOP Rep. Luna Tears Into Hearing Witness After He Starts Laughing About Child Trafficking at Border
Western Journal ^ | 1/18/23 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 01/18/2024 6:41:33 PM PST by Impala64ssa

Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna blasted a so-called “immigration expert” testifying before a House committee in Washington on Wednesday when he began laughing at her over her accusations that the Biden administration is aiding in the trafficking of children at the southern border.

David J. Bier, associate director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, was testifying before lawmakers during a House hearing on immigration when he began openly laughing at Rep. Luna when she was asking him her questions.

The Cato Institute is a libertarian think tank based in Washington, D.C., that is funded by the Koch Brothers and advocates for lose border policies and nearly untrammeled illegal immigration. But the exchange immediately became contentious when Luna came out in favor of separating families when they enter Border Patrol custody, so officials can determine who these people are and if the children they are escorting really are their children. Her goal is to fight the rampant human trafficking of children by criminal coyotes.

So the Koch Bros stooge David Bier finds human trafficking amusing?

If I remember right, the CATO Institute used to be respectable.
Doesn’t look like it anymore.

If Rep. Luna was better known she would make a great VP for Trump. She’s a bit too green this cycle for that.

Can someone explain to me why Republican women seem to be the only ones with gumption today when it comes to confronting these vile scumrats? MTG, Stefanik, Luna... Well Ted Cruz I guess although I haven’t heard from him in a while, but this drives me nuts. The ENTIRE Republican party should be at war with these bastards every day!

On somethings they still are.

But they always were completely sold out on the "open borders, ship all jobs overseas" front. It is where the country club Republicans hang out now days.

It’s apparently time to tear down the Statue of Liberty if you oppose sex slavery, child slavery, gang murders, criminal cartels, fentanyl, environmental destruction, etc. on both sides of the border as a result of the open borders. It is evil and racist to want to put a stop to this stuff.

I like this woman!

Political positions

In June 2022, Luna said of the 2020 United States presidential election, “I believe that President Trump won that election, and I do believe that voter fraud occurred.” The previous month, she attended a red carpet event and screening of 2000 Mules, a film that claims to show evidence of widespread electoral fraud in the 2020 election.[33] She authored the 2023 Christian children’s book, The Legend of Naranja, which suggests that Biden stole the 2020 election.[34]

Abortion

Luna has said she favors abortion bans, and has called herself a “pro-life extremist”.[35][36] She has said her anti-abortion stance originates from having dissected a chicken egg in college and seeing the chick react to a scalpel blade: “God was using that opportunity to really wake me up.”[3]

Economy

In an August 2022 interview, Luna said that she would support a ban on U.S. oil exports to increase the domestic oil supply, saying, “The United States has literally one of the biggest supplies of cleanest oil in the entire world. There’s no reason why we need to be going to places like Saudi Arabia or even Venezuela to get those oil sources.” She said this view belonged to an “America First” platform, adding, “If it means not selling to other countries so that here in the United States, we can literally lower the gas prices, that’s what I agree with.”[37]

Education

Luna’s website states that she opposes “radical left-wing gender theory being pushed on our kids”.[40][41]

Gun control

Luna appeared on the February/March 2020 cover of Ballistic magazine, which called her “DC’s Next 2A Warrior”.[42] In February 2023, she was one of several members of Congress seen wearing AR-15 rifle lapel pins.[43]

the video at the site is insufferable. No talking, just text going across the screen and happy bouncy music.

Sure, that’s easy. Most of the GOPe are too busy collecting kickbacks and getting wealthy off us taxpayers. They’ll be multi-millionaires in a term or two.

Yeah, That is true. Years ago we had a farmer worth $500,000 due to the land he owned. Then he became a congresscritter. 4 years later he had made investments and was worth $6M.
Of course, they all do that because they can’t be prosecuted for insider trading. America! What a country!

David J. Bier, associate director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute

Having this 3rd rate liar in charge is like having Harvey Weinstein in charge of rape awareness and prevention.

This arrogant pile of poop never did say how he knew who the actual parents are of thousands of these kids. Bier is a lying weasel.

The fact that they are not, might mean they are on the same side as the rats. 🤗
