A Republican State Representative from Arizona may have set an internet record; going from total obliviousness to full blown furry in under 24 hours. Kelly Townsend, a Representative for Arizona’s 16th District since 2013 became entangled in a twitter debate regarding socialism and public education (Arizona public school teachers have been striking recently), when a twitter user named @andreuswolf called her out for getting “logically destroyed by a furry”.

In what may go down as the defining moment of her political career, Townsend decided to ask
“please educate me as to what a furry is.”.

The fun began immediately.

This request was immediately answered with a deluge of furry pornography, photos of fursuits, links to furry websites, and pictures of dildos, being tweeted to the elected official.
Her lack of understanding was only worsened by a followup tweet, in which she interpreted the response as a threat of some kind.
Dictionary.com attempted to join the fray by providing a real answer.
Eventually, after several hours of non-stop fur-posts, she seemed to understand the fetish world that she had just provoked, and instead of recoiling in terror (as one would expect an elected official to do), she seemed to embrace it (or, got a hip young social media person to take the reins). She asked for her own fursona (after making a shrekpost).
She stipulated that it must be a lioness.
She seemed to be enjoying herself.
Which, here is where the pony-world gets involved (the only reason we would post this on the Horse News site). A horsefan delivered in glorious full-color.
The story doesn’t end there, as shortly after receiving her new furry artwork, it became the profile picture for her election campaign page on Facebook.
Not even lying.
Even gave credit for the art.

These are real things that happened.

I truly dont think there is anything that cant happen in this world at this point.
