MN Gov Nominee Spreads “Furries In Schools” Claim

CNN reports:

The Republican candidate for governor of Minnesota repeated last week a bizarre hoax claim which has been debunked that children are being told they can identify as anthropomorphic cats and are being allowed to use litter boxes to urinate in schools.

Scott Jensen, the Republican candidate and a former state lawmaker, made the comments while speaking to supporters, according to a video of the event posted on Facebook.

“But what about education?” Jensen said. “What are we doing to our kids? Why are we telling elementary kids that they get to choose their gender this week? Why do we have litter boxes in some of the school districts so kids can pee in them, because they identify as a furry? We’ve lost our minds. We’ve lost our minds.”

Read the full article. As I reported yesterday, the GOP nominee from Colorado governor is making the same claim. Among the others spreading these batshit QAnon claims is Michigan GOP chair and accused fake elector Meshawn Maddock.
