During a nearly 20-minute speech filled with misinformation about transgender people and a fear-mongering call to bring back mental institutions as “a normal part of our society,” Tuberville claimed that furries “[tout] the fact that… many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community.” He did not provide any evidence as to where this information came from.

Then the came for the Furries?

    Pilots have been meowing and making annoying broadcasts for decades. Just to say that the chances it’s a part of furry culture are very slim. Truckers will also be annoying on the radio. It’s a matter of the call of the void and someone thinking they’re funny and thinking it doesn’t cause any real harm (and it largely doesn’t, but you never know who will turn the radio off or need to broadcast an emergency and can’t).
