Michigan governor: Flint crisis is failure in government

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder talks about the effects of the Flint water crisis with CNN's Poppy Harlow.

As a Michigan resident myself, I think he should step down....a little too late to act like you want to help now.

[danielplacencia]

they were trying to privatise the drinking water

[jillianm]

He's a criminal who should be put in jail

[jumpluff]

It's his fault because he gave tax breaks to corporations and needed to find a way to save money. When he switched the water he saved 1 million-2 million and all the kids got poisoned. This is his fault, end of story.

[adrianpaul]

As a Michigan resident I want this man to be prosecuted and put in jail!!

[danielplacencia]

imagine if there was another Republican in the White House

[ColdApe]

I see what he did there tried to blame government on man this is your fault ...you knew about this back in 2014 and didnt do a damn thing. Not only should you lose your Job you should be in Jail

[breakinparadise]

Flint City Council should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

[vahbeach]

I thought they were being too hard on him for demanding he step down, but after watching this interview and seeing the lack of honesty, sincerity, and action - he should definitely resign. He's seems so cold hearted

[AnthonyLewis]

And as the foremost representative of that government in this situation I can promise you that someone who is not me will pay for this!

[adambird]

All he cares about is money!
Don't kid yourself he knew and didn't do anything about it.

[achange]

the governor, the mayor and EPA officials need to be in jail. they knowingly worked to kill the citizens of flint then did whatever was in their power to cover it up. now they are using flint tax payer money to protect them from law suites.

[chrisbradley]

This guy should be under arrest for conspiracy to commit mass murder.

[dellaian]

There was one address in the Flint area with clean water after GM filed a complain that lead in the water caused corrosion on their newly produced cars.

[Prtyton]

He needs to STEP DOWN!! He's FIRED!!

[SharkAcademy]

Rick told you how bad government is, they told you government sucks and can't do anything right(except war I guess), and he easily proved you right...

[johnf.kennedy]

Now people realize money is more valued over lives???

[jamesricker]

Detroit was willing to lower the price of their water so it was cheaper than the Flint River .But Governor Snyder refused the offer.

[martell]

Oh my! I was not prepared for this. A "reporter" on CNN asking real questions and holding his feet to the fire. WOW! Who is this lady and what is she doing on CNN?

[pappanpools]

President Trump would fire him #Bernie2016
