Hillary Sorry for Saying She Would Put Coal 'Out of Business'

Truth Revolt ^ | 5/3/16 | Sarah Fisher

"It was a misstatement."
Back in March, former first lady and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said at a CNN town hall that she wanted to put coal miners and the coal industry "out of business."

At the event Clinton said she was the only candidate who "has a policy about how to bring economic opportunity using clean renewable energy as the key into coal country. We're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business," she said.

But now that Clinton is campaigning in West Virginia, her tune has changed.

"What I said was totally out of context from what I meant," Clinton said. "It was a misstatement, because what I was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs."

Clinton backtracked her statement to Bo Copley, a 39-year-old foreman and maintenance planner who lost his job at Coal Mac, Inc., a subsidiary of Arch Coal, and who shared his opinion with her:

"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."

"I do feel a little bit sad and sorry that I gave folks the reason, or the excuse, to be so upset with me, because that is not what I intended at all," Clinton responded.

"I'm here because I want you to know whether people vote for me or not, whether they yell at me or not, is not going to affect what I'm gonna try to do to help," she said, "because I feel like that's a moral obligation."

Copley spoke to reporters after the event and said he was not persuaded by Clinton's change.

"I would have liked to have heard more about what her plan is going forward for us," he said. "I'm not into political games...I want to hear the plans you have in store for us if you do get elected."

Notice the audience is over 90% WHITE, and the few Black people there were sitting in the BACK rows? Was Her Thighness unconsciously(?) pandering to White supremacists as well?

[SunkenCiv]

She's lying. She and all her supporters -- and Bernie's -- want to destroy coal.

[Seeing More Clearly Now]

Justice Antonin Scalia knew that the Left’s desire to crush the coal industry was a big goal the Marxist agenda to bring the U.S. to its knees. He said so in at least one dissent. Most are hookwinked by the facade, including the new “progressive” political hacks Obama put on the Supreme Court.

Why does she always dress in “Pander-Suits”?

[Night Hides Not]

[r_barton]

I’ll bet gassy Hillary releases a lot of greenhouse gases. ;-)

[gigster]

The Blacks in the back row were “Off the Reservation”...

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

We’re sorry we said we’d put you in prison. But we would sure like to, Hil.

[DesertRhino]

Tell your wife her sister is better looking than she is. Tell her you always fantasized about her.

Apologize sincerely. Explain that you misspoke. The crazed old grandma at her stage in life still doesn’t know there are things you say that cant be taken back?

[Captain Peter Blood]

She got nailed by these miners and we all know it is true.

She and Obama want to put the coal people out of business, the thing is we need coal as we can then build Thorium Reactors to replace Nuclear. The Chinese are already doing this and we need to get into this also.

By the way back during Bill Clinton’s term he made a park out of place, I think, in Wyoming where there was 100’s of years of low sulfur coal. We then had to buy this from Indonesia where those mines were owned by Clinton supporters the Riady Family.

[chuckee]

“I am going to put a lot of coal companies and coal miners out of business” she was caught saying on video in a speech.

She is campaigning in coal country today. When the video was played for her and she was asked about it, her halting response was to the effect that she took her own words out of context when she said it and did not mean it First time I ever heard that one as an excuse. I have heard of others taking a person’s words out of context but never the person accusing themselves of taking their own words out of context.And independents or anyone breathing carbon dioxide other than partisan Democrats would trust her why?

[MeganC]

“I’ll bet gassy Hillary releases a lot of greenhouse gases. ;-)”

No. She holds it all in. That’s why she looks that way.

[MGunny]

Enough of this Sea Hag’s pandering... Cruz and Kasich need to go home and let Mr Trump destroy her.

[EQAndyBuzz]

And this yokel will still vote for her.

[Harpotoo]

She didn’t misspoke as her latest pivot indicates she wants to continue obummer’s agenda and that includes wiping out coal. Criminal LIAR illary!

[Rusty0604]

She’s not sorry she did it, just sorry she said it.

[Rusty0604]

Plus they will scare them into believing that if they vote republican they will lose their welfare that the democrats have graciously given them after taking their jobs.
