To make a point about not wasting the time of Tennessee citizens on what he described as a conspiracy theory, Rep. John Clemmons, a Democrat, proposed an amendment to a bill prohibiting geoengineering that would also protect the mythological Sasquatch.
This amendment led to a lengthy discussion among Tennessee lawmakers on Monday in which Mr. Clemmons called Senate Bill 2691—sponsored by Republican Rep. Monty Fritts— “a very nonimportant piece of legislation” that “shouldn’t be taken seriously.”
