"Seven-thousand gallons of a toxic chemical called MCHM leaked into the Elk River in West Virginia river on January 9, 1½ miles upstream from a water treatment facility. The Elk River supplies the city of Charleston with water.Dec 17, 2014"
And has he read the news lately about the sexual predator and his nominee's and then to have him besmirch people that are trying to help even his state out, reminds me of what serial sadists the fascists republicans really are.
