  1. They should have invited their families to this tap water drinking show

  2. They did that in flint Michigan also, and the water was bad!!!! Try living there!!!! Donโ€™t just take a sip๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  3. 50 years ago a pesticide salesman would mix atrazine granules into a glass of water and drink it to show it was safe to spray on our fields. It was but not at the concentration he drank.

  4. Thay took a sip. There not drinking it everyday.

  5. This is laughable. The fact that it's the elderly who show bravery in drinking the water is telling. Of course they aren't afraid of FUTURE health risks

  6. Chernobyl all over again. your government doesn't care squat about you!!! Grow up!!!!

  7. Still no interviews with a First Responder. They are heroes. Hope they are okay โค๏ธ

  8. Where's BRANDON, where's Pete. Both are 100% INCOMPETENT

  9. Is this Governor Rick Snyder? All Clear here! Nothing to see. Move along.

  10. I hope when/if Pete Buttmunch visits East Palestine, the residents greet him with all the contempt he has shown them.

  11. It's almost like people are too stupid to THINK for THEMSELVES nowadays! Which is wild to say

  12. Drinking 1 glass ? How about drinking that several times a day for every day.

  13. They need to test that water every week. Donโ€™t wait for innocent ppl to die or get sick. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ

  14. People who consistently vote for limited government and eliminating regulations should practice some "rugged individualism" that they love to promote.

  15. Send the water to the politicians

  16. Remember the EPA are the same people that told first responders it was okay to go down to ground zero!!

  17. Huge cover-up by Norfolk & ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Govt. This accident was completely preventable, and occurred because Norfolk (one the most profitable Corporations in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ) decided to use profits for Stock Buybacks, instead of using that money to upgrade their outdated braking systems like they were supposed to do. The braking system currently used by them – dates back to the American Civil War. In the larger picture – this was caused by unregulated Corporate GREED ๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ฐ

  18. Joe Biden is paying $400 a night in NYC with your Tax dollars to house illegal Aliens… He also sent hundreds of billions to the Ukraine.. across the ocean and deep into Europe. These people are citizens, they aren't across the ocean they need help now!!! Give it to them!!!! You mean not one Hotel room for them???? Vote the Bastards out!!!! And I am a conservative, but when it comes to helping the innocent, I am highly Liberal!!!!

  19. Bottled water is what I drink even w none of that happening where I live

  20. You know why bidens not in ohio? Ohio dosnt lauder money like shitkrane does.

  21. Freeze their assets, compensate the homeowners, name the ghost town
    Norfolk Southern.

  22. It should be "safe" if it was what it was labeled? Of course plum made people sick. The coming rain should help clean it away. Drink bottled water

  23. Did you see her roll her eyes before answering the question from the script

  24. The old couple'"Hey, don't drink all my vodka!"

  25. lol at the people thinking they can clean up anything toxic
