This week on the Steve Harvey Morning Show Steve Harvey told a Flint, MI resident to 'go drink a brown glass of water,' after they had a disagreement about the NBA Finals [click here if you missed that].
Steve stands by his words...
A statement released by Steve Harvey reads,
"This morning callers and I were cracking jokes about the Cleveland Cavaliers loss to the Golden State Warriors. I'm a huge Cavs fan."
"The caller and I were talking trash about our teams and cities."
'SIMPLY TRASH TALKING ABOUT SPORTS.'
"I made a joke directed at him, as he is from Flint, a city for which I have great affection and respect. So much so that I devoted a full hour on my daytime talk show to raising awareness for the Flint water crisis. I also pressed then candidate, Hilary Clinton, to offer solutions to what I called one of the great catastrophes of modern times."
"The and the caller laughed as my joke was taken in the context it was offered."
Any attempts to craft this into anything more serves no one."
