Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton opened up the debate in Flint Sunday night by joining her opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders, in calling for the removal of Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder.
"The governor should resign or be recalled, and we should support the efforts of citizens attempting to achieve that," Clinton said to loud applause early in the two-hour debate.
It was the first time she had called for Snyder's removal. Sanders has several times called on Snyder to resign.
Snyder has repeatedly resisted calls for his resignation and says he wants to stay on and fix the problems caused by lead contamination of Flint water.
