Anna Paulina Luna is a pathological liar with a fake name who has buried elements of her life story.
So it's no surprise she would fabricate a violent attack.
But there's a more salient issue that has been lost in the drama: Luna (real name: Meyerhofer) has been targeting Medea Benjamin and Code Pink in a McCarthyite witch hunt with no concrete basis, accusing them of being Chinese agents based entirely on innuendo.
Luna's bogus investigation and her fake assault claims are of a part. Both are designed to criminalize antiwar dissenters and ensure that warmongers like herself are never challenged to their face by American citizens.
