Congressman takes talking point from Iran with anti-American insult * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh

Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., a member of Congress who exhibited his brilliance a few years back by fretting in public that Guam might “tip over” and “capsize,” now is drawing on the talking points of the rogue Islamic regime in Iran for his comments.

He’s calling America the “great Satan,” as adherents to Tehran’s violent and anti-American agenda have for years.

His most recent wild statements prompted the Gateway Pundit to note: “He really is a special kind of stupid, isn’t he?”

And, “‘Who votes for representation like this? This man isn’t qualified to run a lemonade stand.”

Here he is parroting the Islamic talking point:

There it is: Democrat Georgia Rep Hank Johnson parrots Arab talking point saying America is “The Great Satan”

“America is indeed…the great hand of Satan — The Great Satan.”

This phrase is widely used in Islamic theology. Our Government is infiltrated

His most recent stunner came during his appearance on the Dean Obeidallah podcast, when he expressed his concern that America is, in fact, the “great Satan” of Iranian talking points.

That is a line the Islamists have been known to use over recent years.

His response came to a question from Obeidallah about President Donald Trump and his strikes on apparent drug runners trying to deliver death to Americans.

“Yeah, we are the world’s No. 1 bully, and we’re using our immense, unrivaled power to rule over those who have less power. And we’re doing it with impunity. And this sends a shocking message to the world that America is indeed the-, what did they used to call? The great hand of Satan, or something like that?” he said.

“I mean, America under the Trump regime is demonstrating that that moniker was entirely accurate. The Great Satan, that’s what we have become in this country when we can start killing people with impunity.”

His one other claim to fame was when he worried that Guam would have too many people and would “capsize.” A U.S. military representative, with a straight face, confirmed that was not a concern.

I didn’t think Democrat Hank Johnson could ever top the stupidity of his once expressing fear that the island of Guam might tip over.

But, I was wrong. https://t.co/0NjHOdduXm
