Dem Rep. Says He Was Speaking "Metaphorically" About Guam Capsizing

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA): "I wasn't suggesting that the island of Guam would literally tip over. I was using a metaphor to say that with the addition of 8,000 Marines and their dependents -- an additional 80,000 people during peak construction to the port on the tiny island with a population of 180,000 -- could be a tipping point which would adversely affect the island's fragile ecosystem and overburden its already overstressed infrastructure."
