Luna alleged that the unsuccessful censure vote resulted from a backroom deal to protect Republican Rep.Cory Mills from a similar censure.She described this as evidence that “the swamp protects itself,” highlighting bipartisan leadership’s efforts to cover up public corruption. Other GOP representatives, including Reps. Lauren Boebert and kat Cammack, echoed Luna’s criticism, accusing some Republicans of deliberately undermining the censure to shield Mills amid his own ethics concerns.Luna attempted to raise a parliamentary inquiry regarding these alleged deals but was blocked by House leadership. The incident has sparked accusations of corruption and backroom deals within the House.
Anna Paulina Luna says ‘swamp protects itself’ in criticism of failure to censure Plaskett
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) blasted members of Congress on Tuesday night for failing to censure Democratic Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett.
Plaskett was accused of being coached by disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein through text messages to question former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen during a 2019 House Oversight Committee meeting.
Luna said the reason the censure vote was unsuccessful was due to a deal several members of Congress made to protect Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) from a similar fate.
“The Plaskett censure failed because house leadership exchanged that censure failure for the withdrawal of a vote to censure and refer Cory Mills to house ethics for investigation,” Luna said in a post on X. “The swamp protects itself.”
After the censure vote failed, Luna asked to propose a “parliamentary inquiry” for which she was recognized.
“I was wondering if the Speaker of the House of Representatives can explain why leadership on both sides, both Democrat and Republican, are cutting backend deals to cover up public corruption in the House of Representatives from both Republican and Democrat members of Congress?”
“The gentlelady has not stated a proper parliamentary inquiry,” the acting House speaker replied.
“Thank you very much, but I think the American people know what happened tonight,” Luna responded.
Other GOP members of the House echoed Luna’s sentiments.
“The District’s Industrial Corruption Complex (DICC) is hereby protected,” Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) said in a post on X regarding the failed censure vote.
HOUSE VOTES DOWN CENSURE RESOLUTION AGAINST STACEY PLASKETT OVER EPSTEIN TEXTS
Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) accused several House Republicans of taking “a dive” on the censure vote in order to protect a Republican “facing his own ethics issues,” presumably referring to Mills.
“Tonight, a handful of Republicans took a dive on a vote to strip Stacy Plaskett of her position on House intel because of her ties to Epstein,” Cammack said in a post on X. “They did it to protect a Republican facing his own ethics issues from a similar vote. This backroom deal s*** is swampy, wrong and always deserves to be called out.”
