When a video of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna in a MAGA swimsuit circulated on social media Wednesday, the Republican firebrand said the clip proves she is “biologically a woman.”
The undated clip shows the Florida Republican showing off her curves in a blue one-piece swimsuit that reads “Make America Great Again.”
She wore it with white knee-high socks.
‘I am confirming that I have indeed worn swimsuits and it is clear that biologically I am a woman. #MAGA,’ Luna wrote on X.
“I’ve also appeared in Sports Illustrated and MAXIM. I’ve designed swimwear and t-shirts for women,” she added in a later tweet.
On Wednesday, when a video of Rep. Anna Paulina Luna wearing a MAGA swimsuit circulated on social media, the Republican activist said the clip proves she is “biologically a woman.”
The clip appeared to gain traction after being posted by user X Phillips Holz.
“Anna Paulina Luna should be working at my local Hooters, NOT in Congress!” Holz wrote.
The swimsuit video drew praise, with X users calling Luna “the sexiest member of Congress,” and some criticism.
‘(Luna) single-handedly brought back Women Crush Wednesday,’ Rep. Matt Gaetz’s wife, Ginger Gaetz, wrote on X, alongside two other photos of Luna on the beach.
“Anna Paulina Luna is a married congresswoman with children and yet she can’t help but dishonor her family and country by stripping naked for the world to see. Please don’t say she’s a Christian either,” wrote Christian activist Morgan Ariel on X.

‘Saint Ana Paulina Luna MAGA WOMEN ARE THE BEST ON THE PLANET,’ wrote a user X with the name MAGA Elvis.
Right-wing political commentator Richard Hanania wrote on X alongside the clip: “I hear this is a member of Congress.”
“I don’t understand what you’re saying. Anna Paulina Luna does a better job than most members of Congress and is fighting for your right not to be suppressed and censored by the federal government,” activist Ian Cheong responded.
“I have a confession to make since TikTok Democrats have me in their sights: I wear bikinis on the beach and mineral sunscreen,” Luna also responded on X.
Luna became the 12th member of Congress to give birth while in office after having her son in August 2023. The brunette bombshell, 35, was a social media influencer before coming to Congress.

She joined the House in 2023 and became part of the right-wing Freedom Caucus.
In Congress, he has proposed a number of bold and seemingly far-fetched ideas, such as forcing members of Congress who advocate military support for Ukraine to fight on the front lines of the war against Russia and having Attorney General Merrick Garland arrested for failing to turn over interview audio to Biden’s special counsel.
Luna served in the U.S. Air Force from 2009 to 2014. She also worked as a model, appearing on Sports Illustrated’s website in 2013 and as a swimsuit model in Maxim magazine in 2014.
Luna told DailyMail.com in June that she learned of the rarely used House procedure that would have led to Garland being arrested — an inherent contempt — while she was on bed rest after giving birth to her son.
Inherent contempt was last used in 1934 against Washington lawyer William MacCracken, who spent 10 days in prison for refusing to comply with a Senate subpoena.
“I was told I couldn’t vote when I was recovering from having my son… what I found out was that a lot of members didn’t know it actually existed. So I met with the parliamentarian because I had no faith in the Department of Justice.”
The House resolution was eventually watered down to a $10,000-a-day fine for Garland, and still failed.
