"There's the Ramapo fault and, in fact, it's very true . . . we have slip faults throughout the northeast, and we actually live in one of the most seismically active areas of the country." — HayworthShe also tried to tell the audience there are 15 million people in the 50-mile radius, until someone corrected her. The figure is anywhere between 17.5 and 22 million, but heck, what's 2.5 to 7 million more.
"It's absolutely true it would be very difficult, very difficult, to evacuate substantial numbers of people from this area for any reason." — Hayworth"Evacuate"? Try RELOCATE.
"Substantial" numbers of people? Try ALL of them.
"For any reason"? Right. Minimize the issue by equating a nuclear catastrophe to any other kind of environmental accident. Maybe no one will notice.
In a Letter to the Editor posted at lohud.com on June 3rd, Gary Shaw cites examples of Hayworth's say one thing, vote another type of politics.
