This is the guy who replaced Cynthia McKinney. If Tracy Morgan ever wants to run for Congress, he knows which District to go to.

Cynthia was never in Congress to my knowledge.

And is he high?

She served six terms, and famously hit a Capitol Hill officer who didn't recognize her and asked for credentials.

I assumed at first he was just using it as an expression or joke, and I still don't think that's ruled out. But it sure sounds dumb.

The joke in Atlanta was that Hank ran on an ABC platform. Anybody But Cynthia.

And he won.

Fuckin' Cynthia, dude.

Like I figured:
“I wasn’t suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over,” said Johnson. “I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their dependents – an additional 80,000 people during peak construction to the port on the tiny island with a population of 180,000 – could be a tipping point which would adversely affect the island’s fragile ecosystem and over burden its already overstressed infrastructure.

“Having traveled to Guam last year, I saw firsthand how this beautiful – but vulnerable island – is already overburdened, and I was simply voicing my concerns that the addition of that many people could tip the delicate balance and do harm to Guam.”

Doesn't change the fact that its a funny gaffe though.

The stupid district.

Oh, that was HER? I only knew of her involvement with the Green Party. I had no IDEA she had that rich history of well, just...wow.

How do people like this come to not be ashamed to speak their minds?

Is this an April Fool's thing with a dubbed voice or did he really just say that?

I recommend everyone watch this in textmode, it makes it easier to tolerate.

Democracy in action, folks.

Also, I think this guy is pretty ill and has hep C (though it seems like he should resign if his mental state has deteriorated to this... assuming he isn't always like that).

"We don't anticipate that?"
That's a nice way of saying "No" AND covering yourself if Guam DOES happen to capsize.

Feeling dumb for submitting this now it's become a crypto-racist right-wing talking point.
