Michael Moore calls for arrest of outgoing GOP Gov. Rick Snyder for ‘poisoning’ Flint

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore began his 2019 with a call for political accountability.

Moore, who grew up in Flint, Michigan and documented the decline of the city in his 1989 film "Roger and Me," started his 2019 with a tweet focused on the lead poisoning crisis in his hometown.

"As of 11:30 am this morning, the criminal governor of Michigan, Rick 'The Tick' Snyder, will no longer be governor," Moore noted.

"He & his people poisoned Flint. Then covered it up," he argued.

"I implore the new [Democratic Party] governor Gretchen Whitmer to have him arrested -- and to replace all the pipes in Flint ASAP," he urged.
