In an interview with a senior reporter for the Huffington Post yesterday, activist and whistle blower Lee-Anne Walters described her physical reaction to Hillary Clinton’s response to the question she asked her during the Flint Democratic Debate.
"I hated Hillary Clinton's answer," Walters, 38, told The Huffington Post on Monday. "It actually made me vomit in my mouth."
The article went on to say:
Clinton proposed getting rid of all lead sources, including paint and dust, within five years.
"We will commit to a priority to change the water systems and we will commit within five years to remove lead from everywhere," Clinton said.
To Walters, five years is an unacceptable timeline.
"To tell a Flint resident that we'll handle this in five years is no different than what the city was telling us and what the state was telling us," Walters said.
to be fair, she also thought that Sander’s response was lacking as well
Sanders at the debate promised that under a Sanders administration the EPA would keep its eye on water safety, which is essentially what the agency is already supposed to do. Walters considered it a lame answer, but a more honest one.
Five years of poisoning our children is a crime of such a scale that it could be equated with genocide in an international court. At least Bernie Sanders said that he, as president, would have to step in under emergency action with the authority of the Federal Government to address this critical health crisis.
If you want to see the actual exchange, the response that was so blatantly dishonest that it made this brave whistleblower-resident to “throw up a little” you can see it here: at time 16:23
Her son “stopped growing” her daughter lost her hair.
Sander’s response was first.
