Democrat Georgia Representative Hank Johnson, who is known for his absurd suggestion that overpopulation could cause the island Guam to “tip over and capsize,” made some more ridiculous statements during a hearing on Thursday, including a vehement and unprovoked defense of the “tooth fairy” from Republicans.
Johnson made his comments during a hearing on the Republicans’ “Parents Bill of Rights Act,” which would require schools to provide parents with a list of books and reading materials available in the school library as well as posting school curriculum publicly.
“[Republicans] want you to believe that the tooth fairy is woke and anti-Christian and they want you to believe that they will find something incriminating in Hunter Biden’s laptop and they also want you to believe there is some chilling of parents rights,” he said. Notably, Hunter Biden’s laptop had evidence of him doing many incriminating things, including photos of drug use and him begging a drug dealer to mail him cocaine.

Georgia Democrat Rep. Johnson is infamous for his comments made during a House Armed Services Committee hearing in March 2010 during which the committee discussed a proposal to move 8,000 from the Japanese island of Okinawa to the U.S. Pacific island territory of Guam. During the hearing, Johnson warned that significantly increasing the population of Guam might cause the small island to “tip over and capsize.”
“[Guam is a] very small island, about twenty-four miles, if I recall, long, twenty-four miles long, about seven miles wide at the least widest place on the island and about twelve miles wide on the widest part of the island, and I don’t know how many square miles that is,” Johnson began.
“My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize,” Johnson added.
