Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton became the latest famous person to come to Flint.
Clinton spoke Sunday at the House of Prayer Missionary Baptist Church in Flint during a community meeting that was paired with the church’s morning worship service, Chad Livengood writes in The Detroit News.
“I will not for one minute forget about you or forget about your children,” Clinton told the church crowd. “Because what happened here should have never happened anywhere.”
She refrained from directly attacking Gov. Rick Snyder as she has in recent weeks.
“We don’t yet know how many children have been affected by lead poisoning. We don’t yet know how many challenges they will face in the years ahead,” Clinton said. “But . . . we know that even a single child suffering from lead poisoning due to the state’s neglect is one child too many.”
“This has to be a national priority, not just for today or tomorrow,” Clinton said. “Clean water is not optional, my friends.”
