Ron Fournier dropped a truth bomb this morning on Democrats looking to politicize the ongoing water crisis in Flint, Michigan, saying there’s more than enough blame to go around.
Blame that includes President Obama’s EPA:
Anybody angry enough to call for Snyder's job over #Flint should also want the scalp of Obama's EPA appointee https://t.co/Oc8WuoyxYb

If you're only blaming one party for the #FlintWaterCrisis, you're putting your politics ahead of our kids https://t.co/Oc8WuoyxYb

Governance out of Lansing, Flint and DC. https://t.co/qdHnLVUkgH

Fournier is taking heat from libs who want to only blame Michigan’s Republican governor, but he’s having none of it:
Ignoring the EPA cover-up would be a fireable offense.

It's the job of the EPA analyst. He was silenced by an Obama appointee. Not an excuse for Snyder. Just a deadly fact https://t.co/GAkaJZafG5

And it better be more than GOP blaming Dems and Dems blaming GOP. Fix the damn pipes and years of neglect https://t.co/t6s5pzEslf

Never equally blamed. Snyder is THE gov. But I refuse to give Obama's EPA a pass on poisoning kids. Why do you? https://t.co/kvJIcso1Az

No. But Obama's EPA didn't do its job. Obama's appointee buried lead tests. Is this about our kids or your politics? https://t.co/9zBFP7EpnA

Excuses? This is his Katrina. Now, tell me why you excuse EPA for burying lead data? https://t.co/Oc8WuoyxYb https://t.co/ZDg53aLQxf

And the crisis might have a surprising beneficiary — Donald Trump. Fournier tweeted it was “most likely Trump types” as the reason Flint Mayor Dayne Walling, a Democrat, lost his reelection bid in November:
Great piece by @ron_fournier – Flint crisis underscores the appeal of Trump's candidacy. No one trusts politicians https://t.co/UiP765g9c2

Trump is strong in Flint. man … https://t.co/4d6JmBGepW

One think I didn't get to: Walling says 3k new voters, most likely Trump types, turned out to defeat him/status quo https://t.co/4d6JmBGepW

Flint = America?
Flint is America. Lousy roads, trillions in debt, illegals pouring over the border, etc. people sick of it all https://t.co/XWMR2rmFWJ

Seems like a perfect stop for Donald Trump’s campaign.
