Role at the time: U.S. senator (D-N.M.), posting on the X account linked from his campaign website
Response to this claim
Many airline pilots, flight attendants and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community.
“I spend way too much time on commercial flights. Still haven’t seen a furry in the cockpit. $6.50 diesel on the other hand… Vote accordingly people!”
Post by Senator Martin Heinrich (D-NM) on the account linked from his campaign website. The attached video is the clip of Tuberville's floor remarks about airline workers.
The reference point is Tuberville's claim that many airline pilots, flight attendants and air traffic controllers are furries and a flight-safety risk. Heinrich says he has not seen a furry in the cockpit, contrasts it with the price of diesel and urges a vote, which rejects the claim and criticizes Tuberville's focus rather than only disputing wording.
