Flint, GOPocrisy, Michigan Republicans, Republican-Fail, Rick Snyder — February 3, 2016 at 8:37 pm

THIS is how you know Michigan Republicans are absolutely freaking out over the #FlintWaterCrisis that they created

by

After passing legislation to slash revenue sharing to already struggling urban areas including Flint and after passing an anti-democratic Emergency Manager Law – Public Act 4 – and after passing another anti-democratic Emergency Manager law – Public Act 436 – after voters rejected the first one (and making it democracy-proof with an unnecessary appropriation) and after these Republican-appointed overseers – the Emergency Managers of Flint – made decisions that lead to the poisoning of Flint’s drinking water and after our Republican-led administration altered water test data to avoid taking action when lead was found and after our Republican administration lied to the USEPA about treating the Flint River water and after our Republican administration violated the Clean Water Act and the Lead and Copper Rule and after our Republican administration ignored, maligned, and ridiculed the heroes who blew the whistle on the Republican-made catastrophe in Flint and after our Republican-run administration ignored and delayed and obfuscated until they no longer could and were forced to take action months after lead was found in Flint’s drinking water, Michigan Republicans now want you to believe that THEY are the ones taking care of business and that the federal government is somehow failing Michigan.

Exhibit A:

This needs little commentary. The Republicans control every single aspect of our state government and they have run the show for five years. During that time an entire city run by their Emergency Manager overseers poisoned its citizens.

They own this.

And they know it.
