Well, there goes Rick Snyder's 'I was in a medically induced coma during the water crisis!' excuse.

Matt Cartwright of PA absolutely BLISTERED Rick Snyder during the water crisis meeting. The highly recommended video is at the link, below the article. Wow - music to my ears.

Congressman scorches Michigan governor over Flint water crisis: ‘There you are, dripping with guilt’

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder endured harsh questioning from Congressman Matt Cartwright (D-PA) during a House committee meeting on the Flint water crisis Thursday, according to video from MSNBC.

Snyder as governor oversaw the state amid a massive water crisis in Flint that caused residents to drink and be poisoned by lead in the water system.

“Governor Snyder, plausible deniability only works when it’s plausible, and I’m not buying that you didn’t know any of this until October 2015,” Cartwright, an attorney, said. “You were not in a medically-induced coma for a year.”

Cartwright blasted Snyder for failing to both take action to avert the crisis and his “phony apologies.”

“There you are, dripping with guilt but drawing your salary, hiring lawyers at the expense of the people, and doing your dead-level best to spread accountability to others and not being accountable,” Cartwright said. “Pretty soon we will have men who strike their wives saying, ‘I’m sorry dear, but there were failures at all levels.'”

Cartwright then continued, saying, “People who put dollars over the fundamental safety of the people do not belong in government. And you need to resign too, Governor Snyder.

4. I feel like I should send Congressman Cartwright a thank you card

It was obvious that he had well prepared his statement. And he said what so many of us, in Flint, are saying.

2. Watched live

and glad I did - Snyder will resign

[Siwsan]

5. I wish I could have been home, to watch it live

I'm beginning to regret taking this temping gig. There are way too many important things going on. Thankfully it ends in another month.

[malaise]

6. You canwatch all three hours on CSpan

Worth it - they are women-hating liars and -scumbag ReTHUGs

[onyourleft]

19. From your...

...keyboard to someone's ear. His resignation is long overdue.

[awoke_in_2003]

20. And we will be stupid

and not prosecute him. We never hold the jack wagons responsible

[KittyWampus]

3. It wasn't even that many dollars. Poisioning your own neighbors

for such a small amount of dollars leads me to think it was about the principle of privatization and cronyism.

[malaise]

7. Yes - they have these test cases

with the worst of the cronies at the helm

[KittyWampus]

11. remember Brownie?

[malaise]

12. the horse trainer posing as FEMA

Director -didn't the poor hurricane victims have to wait for crony water???

[awoke_in_2003]

21. They need to call it what is is

They are purposely breaking public works, so that private industry can "save" us.

[etherealtruth]

8. That caused me to contact congress critter Cartrights office

My simple message: re the Flint water crisis hearings. You are my hero

[brer cat]

9. No kid gloves.

I love it! He deserves a kick in the ass on his way out the door.

[CTyankee]

10. that fucker is a miserable excuse for a human being...

[Dont call me Shirley]

13. Great speech Matt...

[blackspade]

14. That left a mark.

Ouch.

15. What a sick

excuse for a human being.

“Governor Snyder, plausible deniability only works when it’s plausible, and I’m not buying that you didn’t know any of this until October 2015,” Cartwright, an attorney, said. “You were not in a medically-induced coma for a year.”

16. A capitalist society never puts people's interests above the banksters interest

No pun intended.

under capitalism, Americans are suffering from Stockholm syndrome, they embrace the very thing that is destroying them.

17. That's my Congressman...

A good progressive. Proud of him!

[Siwsan]

18. He was absolutely wonderful

Flint is so lucky to have Dan Kildee, too. I wish he was on that committee. Snyder would likely have wet himself, just at the prospect of being questioned by Dan. I suspect he was HIGHLY caught off guard by Congressman Cartwright.

22. Me, too.
