"Hillary Clinton got her biggest applause of the night during Sunday's Democratic presidential debate when she accused Republican Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder of not caring about poor African-Americans drinking contaminated water.
 
"I spent a lot of time last week being outraged by what's happening in Flint, Mich., and I think every single American should be outraged," Clinton said in her closing statement, bringing up an issue that had not been discussed all evening in Charleston, S.C.
 
"We've had a city in the United States of America, where the population, which is poor in many ways, and majority African-American, has been drinking and bathing in lead-contaminated water," she said to growing cheers."
