Lansing – Filmmaker and liberal provocateur Michael Moore made a brief stop Friday at the Michigan Capitol, using a hose from a large “Flint water” truck to spray water in the direction of the historic building.



Surrounded by a film crew, Moore directed from in front of multiple cameras, setting up shots for a future project that he and crews declined to discuss. The Flint native has been a vocal critic of how Gov. Rick Snyder’s administration handled the city’s water contamination crisis.

“Gov. Snyder, drink the water,” Moore said at one point, holding up a glass as he faced the Capitol, which sits on the opposite side of the street from Snyder’s actual office.

The governor, who is on a trade mission to Europe this week, recently ended free bottled water service in Flint, citing nearly two years of testing data showing tap water lead levels below the federal action limit.

so having originally backed Sanders is a crime?
I might guess that a lot of people here would fit that bill.
