Democrats apologize to ‘town of Gwinnett’ after a bus chartered by the party dumps raw sewage into a storm drain,

Chartered bus illegally dumped sewage in drain.

Donna Brazile, the interim chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, took to Twitter on Tuesday night to apologize to Gwinnett after a bus chartered by the party illegally dumped raw sewage into a Gwinnett County storm drain.

“The DNC has officially apologized to the town of Gwinnett, Georgia,” her Tweet read.

One problem, though — Gwinnett is indeed a county. Not a “town.”

The incident in question involved a “Forward Together” bus that was kicking off a nationwide, pro-Hillary Clinton tour with Tuesday stops in Lawrenceville, Atlanta and Macon. It happened about 9:30 a.m. in front of an auto parts store on Lawrenceville’s Grayson Highway.

An employee of the store told Lawrenceville police that he saw someone get out of the bus — which bears the likenesses of presidential candidate Clinton and running mate Tim Kaine — and dump “its sewage into the storm drain,” according to an incident report.

Gwinnett County fire hazardous material crews also responded to the scene and cleaned up the spill, the police report said. The case was eventually turned over to Georgia’s Environmental Protection Division.

Bert Langley, the EPD’s director of compliance, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Wednesday that the agency knows little at this point — but the DNC is unlikely to be held responsible.

“Assuming the situation is that they pulled up and the charter operator decided this was a good place to empty the holding tank,” Langley said, “any action we would take would be against the charter company.”

Such “action” would typically include help with cleanup and a monetary settlement.

The Twitterverse, meanwhile, had fun with Brazile’s misguided tweet.

Gwinnett-based Republican state Rep. Buzz Brockway enjoyed himself: “I think you mean the ‘town of Gwinnett, GA.’ Accuracy in journalism is important sir. ;-)” his response read.

The news site Georgia Unfiltered chimed in: “Are you saying Governor Deal did not sign legislation incorporating the town of Gwinnett?”

And Deal’s chief of staff, Chris Riley, managed to get a crack in, too: “Please ask if they will take a little ‘off the top’ and make a donation to Keep Gwinnett Clean on behalf of DNC?”
