Sandra Clark said a year and a half ago,
"So why has East Tennessee elected a man who holds hearings on Bigfoot and UFOs, wears barnyard clothes to stand out and hangs with the loony fringe?"
It's gets better...
In a now deleted Facebook post,
"Tennessee Rep. Tim Burchett has inquired with University of Tennessee System President Randy Boyd about a “Furry Club” at the university’s Knoxville Campus."
...
“The fact that the University of Tennessee even has a furry club is alarming. This isn’t the University of Tennessee that I know. Let’s leave that for the University of Texas,” Burchett wrote in the post."
However, he's not concerned that...
...the U.S. Military Academy at West Point ordering a dozen extracurricular and social clubs centered on gender, race and ethnicity to immediately “cease all activities.” Some of the clubs affected included the Society of Women Engineers and the National Society of Black Engineers Club.
