Michael Moore — Democrats Lost Michigan Because Of These Obama Actions

“In the film, I show something that sadly President Obama did by coming to Flint and telling the people the water was okay. It was still poison,” Moore told Bill Maher. “And then he pretended to drink from a glass of water and then said that it wasn’t a stunt. And it was. And it just put a knife in the heart of so many people in Flint who were hoping he would come with the Army Corps of Engineers, dig up these poison pipes, and replace the pipes in the city. And he didn’t do that. And then people gave up and a lot of people stayed home. They didn’t vote for Trump, but they just stayed home.”

“You cannot talk to people who have suffered so much, especially in this town,” Moore added. “Their jobs were eliminated 30 years ago, then the economy was ruined. The pipes were poison… Obama sends the Pentagon in to use Flint as target practice. And for ten days and ten nights in a row fires missiles and bombs into abandoned buildings, troops firing their guns. Nobody was told in advance that they were coming. Everybody thought it was a terrorist attack and the feeling of ‘we’re nobody’ and ‘America has forgotten us,’ We’re still drinking out of bottled water.’ And in this small, little example, you see sometimes how Democrats really screw it up.”
