Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) did not hold back her thoughts on Sen. Alex Padilla’s (D-CA) viral removal from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s news conference last week.
Appearing on Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime, Luna discussed her displeasure with Padilla after he shouted questions and attempted to approach the podium moments into Noem’s briefing. FBI agents worked quickly to escort him from the room.
Luna criticized Padilla’s actions as a bad example of how men should behave.
“In fact, I think he’s suffering from low [testosterone], especially that he actually lunged at [her],” Luna said. “Real men don’t do that, and the fact that he did is, I think, telling as to who he is as an individual.”
Watters agreed and mentioned the system’s hypocrisy, suggesting that if the parties involved in the situation had been flipped, things might have looked different.
“Could you imagine if a Republican senator lunged at a female Cabinet secretary and started screaming at her? It would be the war on women all over again,” Watters asked.
Luna noted that the brief detainment of Padilla and the arrest of New York City mayoral candidate Brad Lander for challenging federal law enforcement are interfering with the illegal immigration process.
Luna then warned Noem that Padilla is no friend of hers and that she should proceed with caution.
“I think she actually did calm what happened and separately exchanged numbers with him, from what I’d heard. But I would advise her to stay away from him because someone like that, who’s gonna use this as a political talking point to get reelected, the guy is not a good dude.”

Luna also mentioned that Congress is investigating businessman Neville Singham for funding anti-ICE riots.
“Neville Singham is actually the one that’s been bankrolling all these operations, and that’s why Congress is investigating him,” Luna said.
