GOP Rep: I Was Threatened For Opposing McCarthy

The Daily Beast reports:

Incoming pro-Trump Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) claimed she received a threatening phone call from a fellow Republican member over her so far questionable support of Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to become House Speaker.

“What kind of blowback are you getting from the cartel?” Steve Bannon asked Luna on Friday, referring to McCarthy’s loyal supporters attempting to convince other Republican representatives to vote for McCarthy.

“I got a very inappropriate phone call,” Luna responded, stating that the caller was another female GOP member, part of McCarthy’s whipping team. “And I let that female member know that I wasn’t basically going to be threatened,” she continued.

Read the full article. Last year Luna claimed that her GOP rivals in the primary were plotting to kill her. As it turned out, there was some truth to that.
