January 6 Defendant Jake Lang Harasses Cat Lovers He Thought Were Furries
Lang spewed homophobic slurs while yelling children were being indoctrinated.
Wanna be Republican lawmaker and January 6 participant Jake Lang has gone viral for thinking a cat convention was actually a furry convention. It wasn’t.
In a video seen more than 4 million times, Lang, who President Donald Trump pardoned after he was charged over participating in the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol, yells, cusses, and calls staff working the event homophobic slurs, accusing them of “indoctrinating the youth” with queer ideas.
“This furry stuff is not for children. These people are sexualizing children. They’re inviting children in. Look at this. This is sexualization of children,” he says in the video. “This is soft porn that they’re inviting children to come into!”

The event was actually the Sea-Meow Convention in Seattle, Washington, which is an event for those who love cats. It’s not a furry convention. Also, it’s pretty clear Lang doesn’t know about the furry subculture.
“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!” he rants in the clip.
One staff member told him, “This is a convention for cats.”
Again, it wasn’t a furry convention.
Users blasted Lang online. “Oh my GOD, could he be a bigger idiot??!!?,” a user wrote. Another wrote, “Is that goofball wearing a bulletproof vest to see cats?”
One person called him out for cursing and yelling slurs when children were nearby. “Someone needs to file charges against him for speaking obscenities around children in the area,” they wrote.
“If you see someone in a cat costume and the first thing you think of is this must be about sex, maybe you are actually a furry yourself. I’m not judging, I’m just saying,” another wrote.
Others praised those in the costumes for their reactions to Lang. “That first cat costume worker is hilarious,” a user wrote.
Lang recently crashed a Seattle Diwali celebration with racist signs, including one that said “Stop Hindu Replacement of Christians,” according to Raw Story.
