House Democrat: Tea Partiers, NRA Manufactured Fast & Furious

by Stephan Tawney on December 9, 2011

It’s Congressman Hank Johnson (D-GA), who you may remember as the guy who expressed his concern that the island of Guam may tip over if too many people move there. Here‘s his latest genius declaration:

“I think (Fast & Furious) is another manufactured controversy by the second amendment, NRA Republican tea party movement,” Johnson said.

But of course! A totally plausible theory!

Except it was an ATF agent who came to Congress with the information. And subpoenaed documents have proven a wide-range of officials know of the project. And Attorney General Eric Holder finally admitted not only to its existence but its deadliness. And the guns found at the scene of  Brian Terry’s murder originated from the operation. And no one but Johnson seems to doubt its existence.

But who knows. Maybe the guy who thought islands could tip over has some inside knowledge and unique insight into the scandal. Maybe he’ll break open some conspiracy involving ATF agents, the Obama Administration, archived documents, Congressional investigators, Republicans, Democrats, and ballistic science.

Or maybe he’s an imbecile.
