It looks like Hillary Clinton is making friends in Flint, Michigan. Here’s Lee-Anne Walters, one of the whistleblowers who first exposed the water crisis in Flint, with her reaction to Clinton at Sunday’s Democratic debate:

LOL.
As we told you, Clinton vowed to wage a war on lead if elected:

But her plan to remove lead “everywhere” over the next 5 years…

But according to Waters — the whistleblower at the debate — Clinton’s “not financially feasible” plan doesn’t move fast enough. From the HuffPo:
“I hated Hillary Clinton’s answer,” Walters, 38, told The Huffington Post on Monday. “It actually made me vomit in my mouth.”
And:
“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.
Ouch.
