The ultimate irony January 29, 2016 12:16 pm ER

Its a good thing Trump didn’t stop this Ay-rab at the border.

Even more Liberal media spin:

By the time Hanna-Attisha went to Hurley’s CEO, Melany Gavulic, public panic was high. Community organizations were handing out filters and bottled water. Community leaders blamed a state-appointed emergency manager for changing water systems. It’s an election year, too, for the city.

It was a “politically messy situation,” Hanna-Attisha told her boss. Gavulic was clear, Hanna-Attisha said: Kids’ health comes first.

On Sept. 24, Hanna-Attisha went public with her results.

The response from the state, she said, was startling. Her research was dismissed and her comments called “unfortunate.” [emphasis my own - ER]

Brad Wurfel, spokesman for the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, repeated a familiar refrain: Repeated testing indicated the water tested within acceptable levels.

Hanna-Attisha said she crawled into bed that night, physically ill.

“We checked our data a bazillion times … but when you hear (the state’s dismissal) on national news, how can you not doubt yourself?” she said.

She wasn’t the only one surprised. Valacak, the Genesee County health executive, said he “took offense … in part because I know how dedicated she is and I know the quality of her character.”

That Monday, Valacak e-mailed state health officials. Among his questions: Why would the state’s analysis include non-Flint residents? On Tuesday, he pushed again for an answer. On Wednesday: “Any update?”

He got no answers, he said: “It was frustrating.”
