The President America Really Needs But May Not Deserve!

This video shows highlights of Beto's visit with the Collins family in Flint, Michigan. This family has to buy bottled water STILL.
This is what Beto learned when he and Amy went to make dinner for the Collins family.

Beto was a co-sponsor of H.R.4479 - Families of Flint Act on 2/9/2016

Now what did YOUR candidate do. We are all waiting...

Oh, and what OBAMA did doesn't count.

Here is a Q&A from Texas+Water website from 9 months ago where Beto mentions Flint in his answers on Texas water issues.

http://texaspluswater.wp.txstate.edu/2018/10/24/qa-beto-orourke/

It wouldn't surprise me if he mentioned Flint verbally in one of his many town halls, but I don't have time to go watch them all!!! And prior to his Senate run, I don't think he received much news coverage for anything he said.

If you bothered Indygram's reply instead of being snarky, you would have seen that
