Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, September 24, 2026

Sen. Tommy Tuberville said Wednesday that Americans could be flying with pilots who are part of the furry community, calling the possibility "terrifying." The Alabama Republican made the claim during a Senate speech, saying "many" airline pilots, flight attendants and air traffic controllers are furries. He did not provide evidence for this claim. "When you walk on to a commercial flight, it's possible that the pilot flying your plane could have a deranged fetish of dressing up like an animal," Tuberville said.

I saw the video of him saying that.

At first I had thought is was some AI-generated slop.

Now I am just waiting for the good Senator to present his evidence ...

I suspect Tommy is actually trying to confess to his own predilection.

... and, fwiw, near the end of the video I saw, Sen Tuberville states emphatically, "you can't make this stuff up."


So then, where is his evidence?
