Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, accused members of Congress from both parties of engaging in inappropriate and potentially illegal behavior toward staff, calling for immediate accountability in a series of posts.
I’m about to do a conference all-call to explain to members on both sides that it is illegal to sexually harass staff and interns. You all need to pull your shit together. Stop molesting the staff! Freaks.

Writing on the social media platform X, Luna said she planned to address lawmakers directly, warning that sexual harassment of staff and interns is unlawful. She later escalated her remarks, urging members to stop what she described as misconduct and expressing frustration over what she portrayed as a broader culture problem on Capitol Hill.
If this is true, it is horrifying. He should also be added to the freaks and wierdos currently in Congress. Can you all stop molesting your staff? It’s unacceptable, illegal, gross, etc. https://t.co/D94eSlwYF7

Luna did not name specific individuals in her initial comments, but her statements prompted mixed reactions online, with some calling for further transparency and others questioning whether formal action would follow.
The remarks came as part of a broader set of criticisms from Luna regarding alleged misconduct among elected officials. Earlier the same day, she highlighted accusations reported during a past congressional campaign involving Rep. Tony Gonzales, a Republican from Texas, and said she would support expulsion if such claims were substantiated.
Luna also referenced Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida, who is facing multiple ethics-related allegations unrelated to harassment, as an example of what she described as broader accountability issues within Congress.
Separately, new allegations have emerged involving Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell of California. According to reports, an attorney working with a progressive advocacy group said multiple individuals are preparing to come forward with claims involving inappropriate conduct, though those allegations have not been independently verified, and no formal findings have been announced.
Luna’s statements add to a history of concerns about workplace behavior in Congress, where past investigations and settlements have addressed harassment claims involving both lawmakers and staff. Her comments suggest that the issue remains unresolved and could face renewed scrutiny in the current political environment.
