Hillary: My
Comments Saying We'd Put Coal Miners Out of Business Weren't In Context or
Something

Back in March, Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton
said the follow:
"We are going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies
out of business," she proudly proclaimed.
According to Hillary Clinton, you can have a job in the
energy industry so long as it's in the so-called "green" energy
sector progressives choose.
Clinton, of course, made those comments in an effort to
appease her far-left, fascist environmentalist, anti-fracking, global warming alarmist, anti-fossil fuel voting base. West
Virginia Senator Joe Manchin was furious about the comments and her efforts to
make the argument that coal mining jobs should be transferred into the
renewable energy sector (which cannot survive without government subsidies)
fell flat.
This week, Clinton is campaigning in coal country and she
was confronted by laid off coal miner Bo Copley for her comments.
Naturally, she responded by saying her comments were out of context and that
people were misusing her statement.
"I just want to know how you can say you're going to
put a lot of coal miners out of jobs and then come in here and tell us how
you're going to be our friend because those people out there, don't see you as
a friend," Copley said.
"I don't know how to explain it other than what I
said was totally out of context from what I meant," Clinton responded.
"It was a misstatement."
Former President Bill Clinton is
also having a rough time in the regin.
Clinton has promised to protect President Obama's legacy,
which is one that includes the utter destruction of the coal industry for
ideological and political reasons.
“The reason the coal industry is suffering in this
country is because of the policies of the Obama administration. When he first ran for
president, Barack
Obama made it clear that he intended to bankrupt the coal industry.
When he couldn’t get his destructive cap-and-trade plan through Congress, he
used the EPA
to promulgate regulations on the coal industry that will cost our economy
between $29 billion and $39 billion annually," FreedomWorks CEO Adam
Brandon said in a statement. “If Hillary Clinton was serious about helping the
economies of coal states, she would pledge to reverse the regulatory onslaught
of the Obama administration. Unfortunately, she has already indicated that she
plans to continue waging the war on coal and double down on radical
environmental policies that are devastating coal states and destroying
jobs.”
