Not mincing words, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13) said, “Hell would have to freeze over” before she supports the foreign aid package.
In an interview with Forbes, Luna was asked if she would support the $95 billion aid package passed by the US Senate by a vote of 70 in favor to 29 opposed.
“Not only would I not support it, pigs would have to fly, and hell would have to freeze over before I support that aid package,” said Luna.

“I support giving aid to our allies; however, when you’re saying that you want to give humanitarian aid to Gaza or the Palestinian Authority, people have to realize that Hamas is a political party within the Palestinian Authority. So you’re essentially funding both sides of that war,” said Luna.
This bipartisan legislation, which includes aid for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific region, has faced numerous hurdles and opposition.
Florida Rep. Greg Steube blasted the bill Tuesday, saying on X, “The Senate foreign aid package isn’t America First. It’s not even America Last. America’s border security is nonexistent. Floridians are rightfully outraged at Washington’s focus on the largest single Ukraine aid package to date, while our own border is completely overrun. We must prioritize securing the Southern border, which has quickly become one of the top national security risks to our country. House leadership knows better than to bring this to the House floor. DOA.“

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia took to the House floor and ripped the bill to shreds, blasting the open southern border and Biden policy, saying, “When will Congress remember its duty is to serve the American people?”
“The Senate worked overtime, even during the Super Bowl, to send $95 billion to foreign wars while our border lies open and Americans suffer under $34 trillion in debt. When will Congress remember its duty is to serve the American people?” said Greene.
