Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Says Code Pink Activist Smacked Her Arm in DC
Code Pink shared video of the encounter as Capitol Police detained activists outside Congress and later released them without charges.
- On Wednesday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna reported a CODEPINK activist for assault, alleging the group's "head person here in DC" smacked her arm after a House West Hemisphere Subcommittee hearing.
- The altercation occurred after Luna questioned Secretary Rubio regarding CODEPINK's alleged ties to the CCP and Cuba, during which Luna claimed the organization followed and berated her while leaving the Capitol.
- Video appears to show co-founder Medea Benjamin walking alongside Luna and brushing her arm, though Luna stated "They smacked my arm," citing a double standard being applied by the group.
- CODEPINK denied the allegation, stating "Nobody hit her" and describing Luna as an "AIPAC-funded" congresswoman, while Medea Benjamin was released without charges after being detained.
- Luna confirmed she provided a statement to law enforcement regarding the interaction, while Capitol Police declined to comment on potential investigations when TMZ reached out, citing safety reasons.
