Poor Attempt at Solidarity--Flint Mayor is Drinking the [Filtered] Poison Water

In what is probably the worst public relations stunt ever, Mayor Rick Snyder has agreed to drink Flint Michigan's contaminated water. But HIS water has to be filtered first. Amazingly enough, he must believe this gimmick will shut the mouths of over a half million irate people, in the second largest city in his state. In this grainy YouTube video, you see the Mayor in the home of Flint residents Cheryl Hill and Todd Canty, guzzle down the water, and gag slightly (guilt?) just after he puts the glass down. On April 18, 2016, he vowed to drink Flint water for 30 days. Let's see how he's feeling on May 18th. Seen Green doubts this is going to wash with the Flint citizens, or the rest of the country for that matter, but Mayor Snyder deserves a D+ for trying to water down the negative press.
