Sen. Sherrod Brown said Sunday that East Palestine, Ohio, residents are"right to be skeptical" of the government's assurances that they and their water supply are safe after the toxic freight train derailment.
Brown was then asked by host Pamela Brown he would drink the water, and if those officials claiming the water was safe should drink it. "No…I think that if I was living here, I would drink the bottled water for now," Vance said while speaking to a group of reporters in town."Better safe than sorry, especially since it's being provided for free. That's the guidance I would give. And again, residents are going to make their own decisions on this, but my honest, personal advice is: I'd be drinking the bottled water right now.
