  1. Wow. I was going to move to Columbus before the year's end. This is terrible. and the governor is a bold faced liar.

  2. If there are toxins on the surface, there will be contaminated ground water.

  3. I've seen water samples here that looked like 2 stroke gasoline.
    That water should be placed in front of him, and he should drink it, to prove it's "safe".

  4. The Ohio governor's blinked rate increases significantly when the questioning process begins. He nods his head when he hears the statement that the water is safe to drink. Then asked would he drink the water he SHAKES HIS HEAD NO and says that he would drink it. While preforming a self soothing jester of rocking as he is making his statement. We need some body language experts. Watch the rest of his tells. The blinking, shaking his head no when making an assuring statement, the self soothing jesters that he has to make in order to get the words/lies calmly out of his mouth. Don't drink the water!!!

  5. Traces of vinyl chloride have been found in Dayton, Ohio just few days ago 😳

  6. If you can smell it then it's most likely is in the air ???

  7. Do it then I want you to show up at somebody's house get a glass turn on the tap get you a big glass full of water and drink it

  8. Make the Ohio Gov drink gallons of it.

  9. Now I’m beginning to understand the Bible about why they will beg for just a drop of water in hell and will be denied.. TOTALLY JUSTIFIED!!

  10. 1:41 "I would drink it." — Gov. Mike DeWine (R-OH)

    Reminds of this video:
    "GMO advocate says Monsanto's RoundUp safe to drink, then refuses glass" — CBC News (2015-MAR-27): https://youtu.be/QWM_PgnoAtA

  11. Be like on the Erin Brockovich movie, hand him a glass of water and say ā€œOh we had that water brought in special for you folks, came from a well in East Palestineā€

  12. "If I was there," but you're not, you're in hiding.

  13. "May have put toxic chemicals in the air." Lol ABC is a joke. They know we've seen the pictures already, right?

  14. Flint Michigan 2. Our government loves middle America

  16. Ohhhh. The science. Believe the science. I’ll pass on that.

  17. ā€œAbsolutely. If I were there right now I would drink itā€ (As he shakes his head no)
    Resign DeWine
