At last night’s Democrat debate, candidates took aim at Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder and put the blame on him for the city of Flint’s lead-contaminated drinking water crisis.
Governor Snyder commented about it last night:
Political statements and finger pointing from political candidates only distract from solving the Flint water crisis.

Snyder, who campaigned for office as “one tough nerd,” has become the focal point for Democrats practicing selective accountability in assigning blame for Flint’s problem.
It's gotta be tough to be @onetoughnerd right now. Seriously.

Michael Moore has called on Snyder to be arrested, and actor Mark Ruffalo, who is no stranger to protesting water problems in the state of Michigan, envisioned that happening:
@joanwalsh @onetoughnerd He's going to get a lot tougher if he ends up in prison.

Governor Snyder’s at the top of the accountability chain?
Actor doesn't know Obama denied request to help Flint. #oops https://t.co/ozKoJVPwkY

Will Ruffalo make prison jokes about the people in charge at the EPA?

@MarkRuffalo @joanwalsh @onetoughnerd You DO know Obama's EPA was in on the cover up with Flint's Democrat mayor, or are you just stupid?

Obama and his EPA knew about this for years. Ready to throw the President in jail too, Mark?https://t.co/2cmn1oFGjx

if @HillaryClinton had won the #DemDebate , democrats poisoning Flint Michigan water supply would not be an issue https://t.co/OmgCGIDgxw

Same EPA that polluted a river with 3M gallons of minewater knew of Flint water issue since April, so clearly this is fault of the GOP gov.
