Hillary: "The children of Flint are just as precious as the children of any other part of America."

Hillary is in Flint, Michigan today to continue shining a light on this tragedy.

When Hillary said in her speech that if this happened in another Michigan city, like Grosse Pointe or Bloomfield Hills we would have had a solution yesterday, it cut to the heart of this gross inaction. Minorities in our country are still considered by many and our politicians to be second class citizens.

Im proud Hillary was in Flint today, because this will keep the pressure on officials in Michigan. I'm sure this will be all over local news tonight in Michigan.

There are a couple short videos below with some of her remarks, plus full remarks below.

FLINT — Solving the problems of contaminated water in Flint has to remain a local, state and national priority for the foreseeable future, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton told city residents gathered in a Baptist church Sunday afternoon.

"Clean water is not optional. my friends. It’s not a luxury," she said."This is not merely unacceptable or wrong. What happened in Flint is immoral. Children in Flint are just as precious as children in any part of America."

Clinton said she's been meeting with Michigan's congressional delegation to make sure that the federal government kicks in at least $200 million to fix the city's lead-damaged infrastructure. The measure stalled in the U.S. Senate last week as Michigan Sens. Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters blocked passage of an energy bill because it didn't include funding for Flint.
