Rep. Anna Paulina Luna criticized Democrats over their statements regarding gun rights, the National Guard, and the murder of National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom, saying Democratic lawmakers were ignoring the conditions in Washington, D.C., prior to President Donald Trump’s deployment of Guard units.
Luna said Democrats have overlooked the purpose of the National Guard and the role Guard members played in securing the capital.
“Yeah, that’s a pretty abhorrent perspective for them to have. You know, I think it would provide context so that they clearly don’t know what they’re talking about, or even maybe understand what the purpose of the National Guard is,” Luna said.
“A lot of these people are either homegrown or lent from out of state to basically help secure Washington.”
She said many Americans are unaware of how lawmakers handled their own safety concerns.
“I’ll just give you a little example here. Okay, first of all, the American people might not know this, but a majority of members of Congress to include Democrats, are concealed carrying in Washington because of how bad it was up until President Trump took over,” Luna said.
Luna noted that while Democrats have supported restrictions on gun ownership, they secured permits for themselves.

“Okay, this is the same party that’s trying to take away your gun rights. Meanwhile, they were the ones that were fast tracking their own concealed carry permits,” she said.
She also described a mugging incident involving a Democratic lawmaker to highlight the prior conditions in the city.
“Aside from that, I was in Washington when a Democrat member of Congress was mugged and basically had his even sushi stolen,” Luna said.
According to Luna, Washington ranked among the most dangerous cities until the National Guard was deployed during Trump’s tenure
. “And not just that, but it was one of the most dangerous crime ridden cities in the world, basically up until President Trump put the national guard there,” she said.
Luna condemned Democratic lawmakers who suggested Trump was responsible for Beckstrom’s death, saying their reactions were unjustified.
“So for them to say, or try to even justify the murder of these of this one beautiful woman, Sarah Beckstrom, who was an absolute patriot, is abhorrent,” Luna said.
She also criticized comments made by some lawmakers regarding the military.
“Frankly, I think that right now that this country can see exactly what they’re doing, and the fact that you even had members of Senate come out even previous to this saying that basically, members of the armed forces should commit sedition, that’s completely unacceptable,” Luna said.
