-LUIS SANTANA | Times
Florida Republican Representative Anna Paulina Luna has responded to the resurfacing of an old video showing her dancing in a MAGA-themed swimsuit, which has attracted attention on social media.
The 35-year-old congresswoman, who has been a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, wore the swimsuit in a 2016 video to express her backing for Trump before she took office last year.

Addressing the renewed interest in the footage, Luna took to X (formerly Twitter) to humorously confirm that she has indeed worn swimsuits and emphasised her identity as a woman, using the hashtag "MAGA."
I’m confirming that I have indeed worn swimsuits and you can tell I am biologically a woman. #MAGA

She also highlighted her previous features in Sports Illustrated and Maxim and mentioned her experience in designing swimwear before entering politics.
I have a confession to make since the TikTok Democrats are onto me : I wear bikinis to the beach and mineral sunscreen.
