The Democrat congressman who once literally claimed the island of Guam might tip over if too many people were on one side has now turned to singing.
The performance is not going over any better than the Guam statement did.
From Breitbart: On Wednesday, Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) picked up a guitar and performed a protest version of “Hey Joe,” the Jimi Hendrix classic, rewriting the lyrics to cast Donald Trump as a gun-wielding threat to democracy.
In a clip shared online, Johnson began with a light warning to viewers: “I hate to hurt your ears and everything.” He followed with brief remarks before launching into his rewritten version of “Hey Joe.” He said, “It happens to be Black Music Month of 2025. I’m compelled with a new guitar and with some thoughts about that old song ‘Hey Joe’ to give some commentary on where we are now.”
While Johnson performed the song as part of a Black Music Month tribute, “Hey Joe” was originally written by Billy Roberts, a white folk musician, before being popularized by Hendrix.
Johnson changed the lyrics of the original song to push out a completely false narrative about President Trump.
He sang:
Hey Trump, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?
Hey Trump, where you goin’ with that gun in your hand?
I’m goin’ down the street to shoot down democracy.
You know, I want to be a king someday.
I’m goin’ down and shoot democracy down.
You know, I wanna be the king someday.
Hey, Donald Trump, we won’t let you take our democracy down
Take it down to the ground.
Hey, Trump, we won’t let you take our democracy down,
Burn it down to the ground.
June is Black Music Month. This year, I decided to come back with another jam session for you all. Here is my rendition of “Hey Joe” by the Godfather of Rock, Jimi Hendrix. pic.twitter.com/idBOQRKeet

Below are just a few of the comments rolling in on social media:
The cringe level in this is immeasurable.
Hope they don’t do too much rockin’ in Guam. It might tip over.
Folks in Guam are going to flip for this one!
I never thought I would be jealous of Helen Keller, but here we are 🙁.
