Steve Harvey Mocks Flint Resident Over Drinking Water
by EG
Steve Harvey has found himself at the center of another controversy. The Steve Harvey Morning Show host, 60, took a call from a listener living in Flint, Michigan, and the two quickly got into a heated discussion.
When the caller told Harvey, who lived in Cleveland as a child, that the city didn’t “deserve jack” following the Cavaliers’ NBA finals loss to the Golden State Warriors, the Family Feud host took offense to the comment and responded by joking about the Flint water crisis.
“You from Flint?” Harvey reportedly asked, according to USA Today. “That’s why ya’ll ain’t even got clean water. When was the last time you touched water and it didn’t have lead in it?” According to a separate listener’s audio recording of the conversation, Harvey’s coworkers can be heard telling the host to “reel it in,” but the comedian continued to bring up the crisis.
“He’s going to call in, say Cleveland don’t deserve jack, and he over there bathing in all that silver water,” Harvey said before dismissing the caller by saying, “Enjoy your nice brown glass of water."
