I wish I was making this up. It’s too depressing to even mock. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., was questioning Admiral Robert Willard about the Navy’s plans to relocate 8,000 personnel and their families to Guam. After noting at some length that the island is narrow, Johnson says “My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated it will tip over and capsize.” And yes, there’s video — the comment comes around the 1:15 mark:
Remember, this guy voted for Obamacare! He knows what’s best for you.
UPDATE: For what it’s worth, Johnson apparently has Hepititis C, which means “he regularly gets lost in thought in the middle of a discussion. He is easily fatigued and often impatient and irritable.” But I’m not sure that accounts for what’s going on here.
