you could only say something this dumb if you're insane, impossibly stupid or a combination with one or both with a complete and total lack of awareness of how many people take aminos and don't experience the same alleged side effect.

While there's a 99.99% chance that his impotence is not related to the amino acids in any way whatsoever, mechanisms that lead from supplement intake to impotence are conceivable.
You're absolutely right about the natural presence of essential amino acids in the human body (without them, you die or become severely ill), but raised levels of amino acids can lead to numerous complications.
Of course, the usual reason for raised levels of amino acids isn't taking supplements, but disease. For example, PKU (phenylketonuria) is a genetic disorder that consists of the inability or limited ability to produce a certain enzyme (phenylalanine hydroxylase) needed for the metabolization of an amino acid (phenylalanine). This causes excessive levels of that amino acid in the blood, which leads to certain transporters in the body being saturated, eventually resulting in brain damage and retardation.
PKU patients are treated mainly by strictly monitoring their diet - avoiding proteins entirely while taking supplements containing the amino acids their body isn't able to make.
While it's quite unlikely that consuming supplements would have an effect like this, it's not entirely unthinkable that the combination of excessive supplement consumption in combination with (genetically caused) limited metabolization capacity could have adverse effects. It is, in theory, possible that he has a genetic defect which limits his metabolization capacity to a point where a normal diet doesn't pose a problem, but excessive levels of certain nutrients do pose a problem.
But in fairness, chances of something like that being the case here are just about
zero.
