According to Representative Mo Brooks, of Alabama, California and the White Cliffs of Dover are falling into the ocean, causing a rise in sea levels. I'm glad he explained it. Who would have thought...?

Default Mo Brooks R-AL) claims rocks falling into ocean causing rising sea levels

You would think that this was an SNL skit if it weren’t true.

Quote:
”Every time you have that soil or rock or whatever it is that is deposited into the seas, that forces the sea levels to rise, because now you have less space in those oceans, because the bottom is moving up.”


If MAGA no longer works as a slogan, they could switch to “What, me worry?”

Once I saw what state he was from, the surprise element abandoned the story immediately. I wouldn’t expect anything else.

Hank Johnson is from my home state. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence, either.

One may be excused for wondering if Mr. Brooks has actually seen an ocean, or other large body of water.


Of course, he is influenced by President Trump, no doubt, whom had explained about the vast difficulties of helping out Puerto Rico because:


"This is an island, surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water.”

Was Hank Johnson influenced by Obama and his 57 states?
