Another Democrat stuck on stupid: Guam might "tip over and capsize."
If this had happened tomorrow, I’d wonder if it was some kind of April Fool’s prank. But no, we really do have an elected representative that is this appallingly stupid. Via The Washington Scene:
Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is afraid that the U.S. Territory of Guam is going to “tip over and capsize” due to overpopulation.Johnson expressed his worries during a House Armed Services Committee hearing on the defense budget Friday.
Addressing Adm. Robert Willard, who commands the Navy’s Pacific Fleet, Johnson made a tippy motion with his hands and said sternly, “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize.”
Willard paused and said: “We don’t anticipate that.”
Like other islands, Guam is attached to the sea floor, which makes it extremely unlikely that it will tip over, even if there are lots and lots of people on it. Guam is 30 miles long and up to 9 miles wide in certain spots, with a population of 175,000 civilians. The military is proposing the addition of 8,000 U.S. servicememebers and their families.
Reached for comment, a spokesman for Johnson said the lawmaker had visited Guam, and his concern was that the influx of military personnel would overwhelm the island’s infrastructure and ecosystem.
The comment comes 1:20 into the clip.
According to Johnson’s thinking, we better begin an emergency evacuation of Manhattan before it tips over and capsizes!
Just remember, this is from the party that mocks Sarah Palin’s intelligence.

Johnson took Cynthia McKinny's seat. Georgia's Fourth District should immediately lose their right to vote. He makes Biden look intelligent.
Dude.
