‘This Is a Convention for Cats’

Matthew Chapman, Raw Story:

Pardoned January 6 Capitol rioter Jake Lang found himself humiliated in the second stunt of the weekend, when he crashed a convention in Seattle he thought was a gathering of “furries” — but was actually just a gathering of cat owners.

The viral video, posted to Facebook and X, showed Lang accosting confused staff and attendees at the Sea-Meow Convention, accusing them of trying to abuse children.

“You guys are indoctrinating the youth with homosexual and transsexual ideas. This furry stuff is not for children,” said Lang, gesturing at attendees and a pair of greeters who happened to be wearing full-body cat costumes. “These people are sexualizing children! They’re inviting children in. Look at this. This is sexualization of children ... what are you guys doing here? These people here, they dress up in these outfits, and they have sex with each other in these orgies every single weekend. Now they’re inviting the children to come to their furry convention!”

“This is a convention for cats,” said one of the staff.

“This is a convention for cats” is my new “Sir, this is a Wendy’s.”

Lang is a despicable human being who also tried to disrupt a Diwali celebration on Saturday with vile slurs against Indians and Hindus. He’s a far-right provocateur trying desperately to make a name for himself. With luck, he’ll be remembered only as the imbecile who elicited the soon-to-be classic phrase.
