Statement summary
Asked about Laura Loomer's remarks, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna first said she had not seen them and could not comment. After the reporter named the women Loomer targeted, she said, "I honestly don't, uh, agree with those terms," as she walked away.
“I honestly don't, uh, agree with those terms.”
Zeteo reporter Prem Thakker's post with a two-minute video of hallway questions to House Republicans about Laura Loomer's remarks. The members are identified in Raw Story's account of the same video. The video file carries a September 1, 2026 upload time; the post went up on September 2.
Why we used this label
The reference point is Laura Loomer's remarks about Angie Nixon and other Black women in politics. Luna first said she could not comment, but once told who the targets were she said she did not agree with the terms. That final answer is a brief but express rejection of the remarks, so we labeled it Condemned. Explicitly stayed out loses because she went on to give a view after her initial refusal. Mixed or conditional loses because her first answer was about not having seen the remarks, not a competing position. Evidence level: video of the exchange (0:55-0:59 of Thakker's video), with the speaker identified and the answer quoted by Raw Story.
