Campaign check: Scott Jensen repeats false rumor that schools have litter boxes for 'furry' students

At a campaign stop captured on video and distributed on social media, GOP gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen claimed that schools are allowing children to use litter boxes to urinate.

"What are we doing to our kids? Why are we telling elementary kids that they get to choose their gender this week? Why do we have litter boxes in some of the school districts so kids can pee in them, because they identify as a 'furry'?" asked Jensen, a family physician and former state senator, during the Sept. 29 stop in Hutchinson, Minn. "We've lost our minds. We've lost our minds."

Asked multiple times to identify which schools Jensen was referring to, his campaign declined, responding instead, "The campaign has no comment."
