After Backlash, Rick Snyder Withdraws from Harvard Fellowship
The former Governor announced his decision in his first tweet since the beginning of June.
It appears as though former Michigan Governor is blaming the current political climate and not his actions that resulted in the Flint water crisis for his decision to withdraw.
via GIPHY He was offered a position as a senior research fellow for the Harvard Kennedy School, which immediately brought on a pretty big backlash. And it obviously worked. I'm honestly surprised that Harvard didn't rescind the offer FIRST.
