Further from Flint, MI. Flint mayor endorses Clinton!

Flint Mayor Karen Weaver (D) endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, repeatedly thanking her for the work she and her campaign have done on the water crisis facing the Michigan city.

"We want a friend like Hillary in the White House," Weaver told reporters in a conference call organized by the Clinton campaign Tuesday morning. "That's exactly what we need to have happen."

Weaver didn't necessarily intend to make endorsement news Tuesday. After she praised Clinton, a reporter told the mayor that her comments sounded like she was backing the former secretary of state.

"Yeah, it does sound like it, doesn't it? I want Hillary," Weaver said, chuckling.

Politicizing Flint, my ass. Hillary is an active part of the solution.
