Sen. Kamala Harris is introducing legislation designed to ensure all Americans, particularly those in at-risk communities, have access to safe, affordable drinking water, the latest response to burgeoning water crises across the country.

The California Democrat and presidential candidate's"Water Justice Act" would invest nearly $220 billion in clean and safe drinking water programs, with priority given to high-risk communities and schools. As part of that, Harris' plan would declare a drinking water infrastructure emergency, devoting $50 billion toward communities and schools where water is contaminated to test for contaminants and to remediate toxic infrastructure.

Harris is focusing on the issue as she and other 2020 Democratic presidential candidates turn their sights on Michigan, where the city of Flint has faced a major water crisis . Harris, who launched her campaign in January, is among the party's candidates speaking at the NAACP's national convention in Michigan this week. And 20 candidates seeking their party's nomination will take the stage for the party's second set of presidential debates in Detroit on July 30-31.

Come on Kamala what kind of nonsense is this? Spending money on necessities! Are you out of your mind!! We need more tanks and fighter jets and other things to raise the debt further. Drinking water? Who needs that? Please stop with good ideas for the citizens, it doesn’t fit.

Has she proposed a way to get that passed? The GOP-controlled Senate won't back it! And that's the real problem! WE NEED DEMS TO TAKE THE SENATE!

She wants everyone drinking the same toilet water that the fraud squad drinks.

All you do is try to scare people with yor manufactured crises, and your hate everyone who disagrees you speeches.

😂🤣😂🤣😂She's pretending to care... she didn't care so much when she was busy throwing her own people away to prison when she was a prosecutor... in fact, she worked very hard to get into that position.

Do your job and help The 100,000+ people living on the streets in California. It looks like a third world country. People are dying. Thousands have Typhus and are shooting up drugs in public while sh*tting and pissing all over the place. Where are your Priorities?

And she played the race card right from the start

Safe water? Surely, that only exists in socialist countries...

A big issue that is going to affect more and more Americans.
