Anna Paulina Mayerhofer was born in 1989, to George Mayerhofer and Monica Luna in Santa Ana, California.[2][3] Her mother is of Mexican descent and her father of Mexican and German descent.[2] Her parents never married.[2] Luna remembered her father calling from jail when she was a child. The Washington Post contacted the California Department of Corrections, the Orange County Corrections Department and the Santa Ana jail, none of which had any records of incarceration for her father.[4] When she was 10, she found his bag of meth.[5] She claimed that her father was imprisoned multiple times for not paying child support, but The Washington Post found no records of his incarceration.[4] With her father absent, she was raised by her mother in Los Angeles.[2]

Luna attended six different high schools before graduating.[2] At age 19, Luna enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, where she served as an airfield manager at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri and then in Florida.[2] She later claimed that she suffered from "enduring trauma" after experiencing a "home invasion" at 4:00 a.m. while stationed at Whiteman. Luna's roommate did not remember such a incident. Instead, there was a daytime break-in when Luna was not home. A police report supports the roommate's account.[4] Luna earned an Air Force Achievement Medal and was honorably discharged in 2014.[2] In 2017, Luna earned a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from the University of West Florida.[6]

Don't 99% of people who do DNA testing come back with a tiny portion of Ashkenazi Jew? Is that what she's pinning her Jew-ishness on?

Republican is increasingly looking like a mental illness. I get that it's easy to dismiss political opponents and just nuts, but it does seem like the actually crazy are finding a home in the Republican Party more than they used to. And not just as crazy voters. The crazy becomes a driving force in getting other crazies to elect them.

Not sure why she would do this.

Messianics (aka "Jews for Jesus") are loathed by the vast majority of Jews. We see them as traitors. This would actually hurt her with most Jewish voters...although with far right Jews, maybe not.

Most of them are just garden variety evangelical wackos who may or may not have some Jewish ancestry, but like the Jewish cosplay. Texas is full of them.

R15 those DNA tests probably should be relabeled as having semitic qualities since both Arabs and Hebrews are descended from ancient semitic peoples.

Judaism Islam and Christianity are religions not ethnicities or races.

Judaism is a bit of both r27, religion and ethnicity. Are you honestly unaware of this r27?

by Anonymousreply 28February 11, 2023 2:40 AM

R27, Islam and Christianity are proselytizing religions; anyone can convert. Judaism is not a religion of choice but of birth. During the thousands of years that Judaism has existed, Jews usually married only other Jews. It is, therefore, possible to identify, via DNA tests, people who have Jewish ancestry. There’s no mystery there.

If Anna Paulina Luna claimed to have Sephardic Jewish ancestry it would have been more believable because many Sephardic Jews did live in Mexico and what's now the US Southwest after fleeing from Spain.

r19 I'm inclined to think AOC is their model along with just the general trend of people claiming to be various minorities to attempt co-op authority in said groups (like dykes being caught between trannies and political lesbians)... but being so removed (or outside) of said communities, they don't realize most in the group despise those types. (and of course, there are factional wars inside communities... which is usually anyone who deviates from the most homogenized or assimilated yet retaining some stereotypical attribute aka vanilla representation. Special flavors are the most likely to be hijacked and this in turn, adds to the divisions between said groups and will likely disrupt the whole. Like Russian Jews can be crass, have a more recent history of being removed from trads than conversos, so they tend to be looked down upon and pushed to the edge of the community but they also tend to be fiercely liberal - albeit, american far left and their fetishization off communism throws them off as it does with most communist survivors and descendants . And recent politics, of course, leave them suspect to many Americans now. But I digress.)

r32 South of the border, there was a massive ashkenzai infusion post wwii and the following decades... not unlike the U.S. which at one point had more sephardi (etc) - and this becomes more nuanced in the nitty gritty than Americanisms allow expression or discussion for.

by Anonymousreply 55February 11, 2023 8:18 AM

in short, tho, the general consensus is you have a line

you had at least three grandparents with direct descendant line

or your family maintained present cultural and religious connection to the traditional community (not reform nor reconstructionists, and definitely not messianic or fringe types)

or you formally (re)convert into religious component and marry into.

AOC made a big show in 2018 of claiming that she had Sephardic Jewish ancestry. Not quite Santos-level deception, but it raised a lot of eyebrows among actual Jews.

Luna believes the 2020 election was "stolen" from Trump.

Luna lived with her abusive, meth-addicted father off and on for most of her twenties, despite telling friends and social workers that he was a convicted drug dealer who abandoned the family.

Luna worked as a "waitress" in a Florida Panhandle titty bar.

Luna told campaign contributors she was partially Jewish, only to be told her grandfather was actually a Nazi himself. She later filed a restraining order against the relative who produced the photo evidence of Nazi dealings.

Luna has changed her stated ethnicity at least twice on government documents, going from Hispanic to White and back to Hispanic again.

She's not as bad as Devolder Santos, but she's a piece of work.
