Hillary Clinton Speaks Out in Flint

Hillary stepped off the campaign trail for awhile today, and into the charged situation in Flint, Michigan. This morning on TV she spoke knowledgeably about the dangerous effects of lead poisoning as well as the structural challenges involved in making the pipelines safe again. If any other candidate for president knows as much as Hillary does on this topic, that individual has been remarkably silent on the subject.

This was not a campaign stop.  Because of her knowledge on this topic, Hillary broke her campaign stride to see how she could help in this dire situation.
