Comments on Guam tipping over

Rep. Hank Johnson said to Admiral Robert F. Willard, Commander of U.S. Pacific Command, "My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize."

to which Admiral Willard replied, "We don't anticipate that."
During a House Armed Services Committee hearing in March 2010 concerning the U.S. military installation on the island of Guam

The video of Johnson's comments became an internet sensation.

In 2009, Rep. Hank Johnson demanded censure of Rep. Joe Wilson following Wilson's "you lie" exclamation during President Obama's speech, delivered to a joint session of the 111th United States Congress on September 9, 2009, concerning his plan for health care reform; Congressman Johnson argued that the comment had an unseen racial undertone and that, if Wilson was not formally rebuked, "we will have people with white hoods running through the countryside again".
