Trevor Noah Takes on Flint Water Crisis: ‘If the Water’s Browner Than Me, I Don’t Drink It’
While most in the political world eyed the Republican debate on Fox Business, Trevor Noah — perhaps nursing a bit of hangover after his drinking escapades with Kentucky Senator Rand Paul — hit on the devastating water crisis in the city of Flint, Michigan. Many people have expressed national outrage after officials found toxic levels of lead in the drinking water there.
“I have a very simple rule in rule,” began Noah. “If the water’s brown than me, I don’t drink it.”
After the reveal that the terrible situation could have been avoided by the city of Flint for only $100 per day (channeling a proper water source rather than cutting corners), Noah knew that he had to ask for help. He continued, “A hundred dollars a day? Why didn’t you say something? I want to call out to all my people in Africa right now watching The Daily Show. Because my friends: for only a hundred dollars a day, we can save a village in America and get these people drinking the water that they so badly need.”
The proposed solution from the Daily Show host is not a lot of money at all in the scheme of things, or as he points out — “Just the price of five cups of coffee in New York!”
