Are you sure it wasn't just an extremely poorly thought out metaphor? He could be attempting to point out the impact of the issue on the socio-economic balance or something. Either way it's hilarious but I find it hard to believe a man of his position is quite that dumb. Said in context it makes for one hell of a blooper though, I think one video of this has over 2 million views already :D

@nempozpag

If you look at the original video, Johnson doesn't mention that by: "capsize and sink into the ocean" he means: "overcrowding or social/environmental catastrophe caused by overcrowding."

He only claimed that it was "metaphorical" long after the committee hearing (in order to save what credibility he has left).

Agents of the state are superhuman. We citizens are incapable of grasping their superior scientific knowledge and logic. Just keep voting.

Guam covers 212 square miles (549 km2), making it the 32nd largest island of the United States. The island of Guam is 30 miles (48 km) long and 4 miles (6 km) to 12 miles (19 km) wide. You can somewhat see s smirk on the mans face when he said it but who knows...maybe Sarah Palin and him can float Guam to Alaska and see Russia from her house? lol

@LaughingMan0X he said tip over and capsize he meant it literally , he thinks islands float lol he also believes in the global warming lie lol, i say this man invented a new way to smuggle 16 oxycotins in to work by using his stomach

[Jerseyboi98]

lol you guys are dumb to me it looks like that guy smokes enough weed and has short term memory loss I do ....

[Kamarinjoy1]

well its obvious that he has not thought his idea through because he can't even say one sentence without saying "umm" honestly he does not know what he is talking about so if there are people out there that believe this crap your stupid.



[aaronmoravek]

He was clearly not thinking at the top of his game, He seems like he was high on drugs, so no I don't think he is always that stupid, but he is stupid enough to use drugs w

hile congress is in session, If you have never been around drugs, this is what it looks like.

@opheliaic & these Morons want to vote themselves another Pay Raise

[WickedWind6]

@opheliaic At least a high school diploma.

[fmandwc2]

@nempozpag that could be a plausible theory if he hadn't moved his hands to demonstrate an island tipping over quite literally.

[orion7319]

I would actually really like to know what he is on. It seems like fun.
