Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) pulled out of his research fellowship at Harvard on Wednesday after critics slammed the university for granting prestige to the same governor who has been widely criticized for the infamous water crisis in Flint.
âIt would have been exciting to share my experiences, both positive and negative; our current political environment and its lack of civility makes this too disruptiveâ
Iâm glad you say this. Moreover, who had even heard of this woman before this reporting? For a woman with her resources she seems to fairly enlightened, But for the sake of generating smartass remarks and clicks sheâs today villainess of grand proportions.
Seems as if Snyder was afraid that some one or more of those snooty innalekshools was likely going to give him a hard time. What a âŚI believe âsnowflakeâ is the term of art.
And get a load of his Twatter handle: one tough nerd, indeed!
âI believe the Kennedy School needs to study both failures and successes of government, and we anticipated that students would have learned from engaging with and questioning Governor Snyder about his consequential role in decisions regarding Flint and many other issues during his eight years in office,â Elmendorf wrote.
You donât need to reward gross incompetence with a prestigious fellowship. All you have to do is invite him to give a talk, with questions afterwards. Or better yet, just wait for a transcript from the impending trial.
I believe it is constructive to listen to both sides and yes, it could have been interesting. That being said, the man is being SUED for his part in poisoning people under his care as GovernorâŚwhat do you think HIS side would have been?
âCivilityâ is the idea that everyone should be respectful towards Republicans and refrain from saying or doing anything that offends a Republican or hurts a Republicans feelings. It is the highest virtue recognized by our media.
The idea that Republicans should be respectful towards anyone else and should refrain from saying or doing anything that offends other people or hurts other peopleâs feelings is âPolitical Correctness,â and it is the most vile sin anyone can commit. Funny how that works out.
And how many children have been killed, injured, and/or permanently disabled by this jokerâs malfeasance and corruption? And Snyder is worried about âour current political environment and its lack of civility.â
Snyder is lucky that he hasnât been tarred, feathered and lynched as a result of what has happened in Flint.
Holy shit. Who could have imagined that the first of the murderous, nihilistic repugs to sacrifice a perk out of shame would be the Flint Poisoner his very own self.
