A far-right lawmaker and vehement defender of President-elect Donald Trump gave the MAGA leader a glowing review when asked about his awkward handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Trump and Macron shared a notably intense handshake Saturday as they attended the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. The encounter happened as Trump arrived for a meeting at the Elysee Palace as part of ceremonies to mark the reopening of the Cathedral, about five years after a fire left the Gothic masterpiece with extensive damage.
Fox News host Jesse Watters asked Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) her thoughts on the bizarre encounter.
"When you see the video of Trump grab Macron like this and just yank — grab it and twist it, what message does that send?" he asked, imitating the president-elect's gesture.

"It's the alpha energy that the world needs right now. After four years of [President] Joe Biden and terrible foreign policy, I think not just the United States but the world was ready to take the reigns and get us back to some form of normalcy. because we could not handle another four years."
Luna speculated that had Trump lost the election, the United States would've found itself in "World War III."
"That could've happened easily, and it's getting closer by the day," Watters agreed.
Luna is no stranger to controversial statements and stances — praised her state's six-week abortion ban bill, consistently opposed sending additional aid to Ukraine, and even had her story of a home invasion called into question.
