Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown said Sunday that people were “right to be skeptical” about their safety following a train-derailment chemical spill and fire — and didn’t answer when asked if he’d be willing to drink the local water.
During an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Brown was asked if residents of East Palestine, Ohio, should “accept the assurances from the government” that their air and water were clean following the incident earlier this month.
“Well, they’re right to be skeptical,” he said. “We think the water is safe, but when you return to your home, you should be tested again for your water and your soil and your air, not to mention those that have their own wells.” When asked by host Pamela Brown if he’d drink the water — and if other officials should do so to reassure the public — the Ohio Democrat didn’t answer directly.

When our betters won’t drink the very water they claim is safe.....you know it isn’t.
This is the worst thing since Three-Mile Island, and the dems are just acting like another day in the neighborhood.
Sherrod is a wife-beater and hopefully on his way out in the next Senate election....Ohio is a deep red state now. It’s no longer the purple it was when he was first elected in 2012.
Now if only the Ohio GOP would run a good candidate not named Josh Mandel....
I believe i heard him say when asked about drinking the contaminated water, that clearly under his breath said “Not fer damsure”. . At least that’s the way I remember it. /s
You mean he didn’t demand a nice big glass of that water to reassure the people and show trust in his RAT EPA?
JD Vance said the same thing and was take. To the woodshed. Brown will be touted a a hero for Ohio. Disgusting. Brown must go down!
Has Senator Brown made the trip to the town or are all his conversations with local officials by phone.?
Soooooo that POS Sherrod Brown FINALLY crawled out from under his rock and said something.
We should WATERBOARD the SOB and use water from East Palestine for good measure.
The chemicals tested for were butyl acrylate, vinyl chloride, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, and ethylhexyl acrylate.
The dioxins created from burning the PVC is not mentioned at all. Think Agent Orange. No test. Why?
