Trump Cabinet member's near butt-slap blunder with Anna Paulina Luna goes viral

US HUD Secretary Scott Turner is facing backlash after appearing to try to smack Rep. Anna Paulina Luna's backside as the two crossed paths onstage at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas. The awkward moment unfolded on Wednesday as Turner – a former NFL player – finished his remarks and headed offstage, just as Luna was announced and began walking toward the podium. Video footage shows Turner extending his hand toward Luna's backside as they passed one another, before continuing on his way. Luna did not appear to react to the gesture as the clip quickly went viral online. Some slammed the moment as inappropriate, while others joked Turner had simply forgotten he wasn't still on the football field. "HUD Secretary Turner forgot he wasn’t on the NFL field no more," one user on X wrote.
