They Knew: DuPont’s Toxic Water Scandal Exposed | The Political Vigilante | Graham Elwood

In this video, Graham Elwood examines an Intercept report on lawsuits filed against DuPont and its spin-off company Chemours for releasing the industrial toxin "GenX" into the Cape Fear River in North Carolina, poisoning the drinking water of over 250,000 residents. Graham discusses corporate environmental negligence, the history of Teflon and PFOA toxicity, government regulatory failures, and the critical importance of fighting for clean water and environmental accountability.
