“When I talk about the Green New Deal, our right to breathe clean air, clean water, I always say to people ‘you want to see what doing nothing looks like, come to the neighborhood I grew up in.’ I smelled like hydrosulfide from playing outside, a rotten egg smell.”
Tlaib’s remarks continued with her discussing the various plights of children in Wayne County, Michigan and the Detroit area.
