America’s dumbest congressman is back.
Rep. Hank Johnson of Georgia, the same guy who once suggested Guam could tip over if there are too many people there, is now saying that the GOP is waging war on black people. He never says how, of course.
He also claims that if Democrats don’t fight back and win the midterms, that black people will end up back in the cotton fields.
Who wants to remind Johnson that slavery ended in the United States because of Republicans, not his party?
Johnson was speaking to Roland Martin, who used to be a host on CNN.
Breitbart News reports:
If Democrats do not win the midterm elections, black Americans will be “back in the cotton fields,” Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) recently claimed.
Johnson made the bizarre claim during an appearance on the #RolandMartinUnfiltered daily broadcast.
“It’s a GOP war on black America, and if we don’t stand up and fight back, we’re going to be back in the cotton fields,” Johnson asserted, clarifying what he meant by “fighting back.”
He said it is not a call to arms but a call to protest, although he did not specify if he is imagining wild and violent riots reminiscent of the Black Lives Matter and Antifa protests in 2020, which many Democrats failed to properly condemn.
“And when I talk about fighting back, I’m not talking about taking up arms. I’m talking about taking it to the streets in protest, and also by exercising our precious right to vote,” he said.
Johnson added, “We’re going to have to get out in November and vote, like John Lewis said, like our lives depend on it, because our lives do depend on it this time.”

We hear this same ridiculous song and dance from Democrats before pretty much every election.
In 2012, Joe Biden warned black voters that Mitt Romney would put them back in chains. Before the 2024 election, multiple prominent leftists warned that black people would lose various rights if Trump won again. It’s always the same lies.
