Congresswoman Wants to Speak to Dead JFK Assassination Investigators

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna claims that her new task force will question JFK’s doctors and investigators from the assassination.

Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna announced Tuesday that she wants to use her new task force dedicated to uncovering “federal secrets” to question the investigators of President John F. Kennedy’s 1963 assassination.

Her only issue? They are all dead.

The congresswoman said during a press conference Tuesday that she hopes to use the “Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets” to speak to physicians and members of the Warren Commission, which was formed to look into Kennedy’s assassination.

“I’m looking to actually bring in some of the attending physicians at the initial assassination. Then also people that had been on the various commissions looking into it, like the Warren Commission looking into the initial assassination,” she said.

However, all seven members of the Warren Commission are dead, Mediaite reported.

We are all now suffering the consequences of Republican attacks on public education for the past 60 years.

I think that it is possible -- even likely -- that each and every dead investigator still has a better understanding of Dallas than Rep. Luna. Hopefully, she speaks to Oswald, Ruby, JFK, LBJ, Nixon and Hoover, as well. And the, by golly, we will learn the truth.

"Initial" assassination, which she uses at least twice in this snippet, literally means JFK was assassinated more than once! Talk about stupid! And even with the rest of the sentences and paragraphs surrounding it to give context, it still doesn't make any sense. But I bet when she said it, she thought it made her sound so intelligent!

38 years old at the time, so they would be 100 years old currently.

"The most common route to becoming a physician involves completing a bachelor's degree, followed by medical school, and then 3 years or more in a residency program for a medical specialty. At the very least, the entire process can take 11 years, putting the average age for a beginning doctor at 29 or 30."

Of course, some of us know that this was a plot by JFK to appear dead, so he could flee to Argentina in his quest to confront Adolph.

He was a second year resident and 28 1/2 at the time. He’d have been 90 in April, but he died in 2002.

Other, more senior doctors would get there within minutes. Carrico intubated JFK. By that time, Malcolm Perry had arrived, placed chest tubes, and did a tracheotomy. Many others, including the head of neurosurgery, Kemp Clark who pronounced the President dead.

I can't believe that this was at a press conference? Did any reporters not ask if she knew if any of the people she wanted to question were still alive? Did employees who worked for her not bring this up? I'm sure she will get to the bottom of everything for us after all this time.

Her analysis will include references to the Deep State, Hillary, Obama, Biden and Antifa.

Neither are DEI hires and illegal immigrants, but she is welcome to mention those if she thinks it will help.

I guess she thinks JFK was assassinated more than once. And, of course, the whole thing happened over 62 years ago. The people who did the investigation and autopsy were most likely over 30 years old at the time, so their dead also.
She must be thinking of holding a seance, assuming they'll respond to a summons and show up at her committee meeting.
I'd like to see that.

In her Air Force service, she was involved with airfield management and showing skin, not casting aspersions...

Casting aspersions was Lindsay Graham's MOS. Still is.

This lady's apparent qualifications for Florida office are her Turning Point USA wingnut-welfare enrollment and her adopting her grandmother's last name to sound more Latina to the electorate.
