Hank Johnson is the idiot who years ago expressed concern the island of Guam would tip over because the U.S. was placing to much heavy military equipment there.

The only people stupider than Johnson are the voters who continually re-elect him.

Johnson attended this “Day of Action” for the sole purpose of being arrested. Nothing but theater.
Would rather have seen the DC police arrest the others and just leave him standing there.....alone.....begging to be arrested.
