Absolutely, NBC has featured it prominently the past two nights; they would love a GOP scalp. “See, we knew Whitey didn’t care about you!” And then follow the formula of barely mentioning the MAYOR in passing. And no mention of the city council at all, of course.
If Rick Snyder had any aspirations for any other political office after his governorship they’re done now with this apology. He just saved the Dems some time by “Katrinaing” himself. Who’s gonna want to vote for an evil White man who allowed Black people to drink tainted water? Has he no shame? As you and others have rightfully pointed out the incompetence of the mayor and the Flint city council is responsible for this mess, but as usual a member of the stupid party takes the blame instead because he’s worried about having a racist tag pinned on him which takes the real culprits off the hook.
