Coal miner confronts Hillary in WV

[Iceweasel]

I watched that exchange and that witch LIED right to his face. she did say that. And that is the person that party want's you people to put in as our President. shameful nasty woman

oh wait, uhm, i mispoke, uh, thats not what i meant. yah, why is it that every time Hillary is caught in a lie, she later has to explain herself,,,like with the Benghazi Videos!

Now you're lying. Even the Republican-led been Ghazi investigation found no wrongdoing.

Then you didn't see it. She was caught red handed, 600 emails unanswered. Put the guys out there and didn't do jack for them. When the 3am call came in she hit the snooze alarm. Your cartoon shows didn't cover it?

 

[Iceweasel]

lets see how Hillary will "Esplain Herself" in the debates when/if Trump asks her and has to explain to the beast that we need coal for electricity/fuel....like the fuel Hillary needs for her private jet.

Coal doesn't fuel jets. Coal is not needed for fuel or electricity. That was generations ago. Coal is the horse and buggy of the fuel/energy debate. It's been replaced with cleaner sources of energy.

Just like buggy makers had to learn to do something else with their lives, so will coal miners. They'll have jobs that won't lead to their premature deaths. Imagine that.

Imagine you being as clueless as usual. See above.

 

[JoeB131]

Trump would be smart to really play up the coal issue from now until the November election. Another four years of a Dim in the WH will continue to be very destructive to the industry.

You work on the assumption that anyone other than those who work in coal really care that much about coal.

Yes, let's fight for the cutting edge energy technology of the 19th century.

Notice how the MSM reported this story for a day or two, then it disappeared.

Compare that to what they did when the R governor of Florida was confronted by a radical leftist at a Starbucks some weeks ago.

The big, bad MSM did it again!!!

That was only reported for a day or two, too. Of course, Rick Scott kept the story alive making it a big deal.

Her statement:

“We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” was taken a bit out of context, but let's be clear, the Dimocrat party wants to completely kill the coal industry, so no matter how much Hillary squirms and tries to and take back these words, in the end we all know that voting for Dimocrats is voting for the death of this industry.


Hillary Clinton Confronted By Coal Miner Over Statement That "We’re Going to Put a Lot of Coal Miners" Out of Business

During a round table in West Virginia, a recently unemployed coal worker confronted Hillary Clinton over her remark at a CNN town hall in March that “We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.” In response, Clinton admitted her comment was a “misstatement.”

“How you could say you are 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?” the man, Bo Copley, asked during the round table Monday.

“I don’t know how to explain it other than what I said was totally out of context for what I meant because I have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time,” the former secretary of state said in reply. “It was a misstatement because what I was saying is the way things are going now, they will continue to lose jobs. It didn’t mean that we were going to do it. What I said is that is going to happen unless we take action to help and prevent it.”

“Now I can’t take it back, and I certainly can’t get people who, for political reasons or personal reasons, very painful reasons, are upset with me,” she continued. “What I want you to know is I’m going to do everything I can to help, no matter what happens politically.”

Fact Check: Hillary Clinton And Coal Jobs

Hillary Clinton, who's campaigning in Appalachia this week, was confronted Monday by an out-of-work coal miner. At a roundtable discussion in West Virginia, Bo Copley asked Clinton, "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."

Clinton apologized for her word choice at a CNN Town Hall back in March. She insists she wants to help coal country through a difficult economic transition.

Let's break it down.

THE CLAIM:
Hillary Clinton is going to "put a lot of coal miners out of jobs."

THE QUESTION:
Did Clinton really say that? What gives?

THE SHORT ANSWER:
Clinton did tell a town hall audience in Columbus, Ohio in March that "we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business." But that was part of a longer answer about the need to help blue-collar workers adjust. "We're going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people," Clinton said. "Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories. Now we've got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but I don't want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on."

THE LONG ANSWER:
A lot of coal miners and coal companies are going out of business. This is partly the result of Obama Administration policies designed to combat climate change, by shifting power-production away from carbon-intensive coal. It's also the result of the fracking boom, which has led to a sharp drop in the price of natural gas. Together, these forces have put coal at a competitive disadvantage when it comes to turning on our lights and powering our factories. A decade and a half ago, more than half the electricity in the U.S. was produced by burning coal. Today that's shrunk to less than a third, and coal continues to lose market share to natural gas and renewable sources of power.

Dozens of U.S. coal companies have filed for bankruptcy protection, including Arch Coal, the parent company of the mine where Bo Copley worked. Although the U.S. Supreme Court has put the Obama Administration's power plant rules on hold temporarily, many utilities continue to shift away from coal for both economic and environmental reasons. Coal mining employment dropped below 75,000 in 2014, with Appalachian mines seeing the steepest declines.

Hillary Clinton suggests those jobs are not coming back. "The way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs," she said Monday. Rather than reversing Obama's climate agenda, as Republicans have promised to do, Clinton wants to help coal country adapt. The $30 billion plan she released last fall calls for increased job training, small-business development, and infrastructure investment, especially in Appalachia. The plan also seeks to safeguard miners' healthcare and pensions. "I have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time," Clinton said this week.

Who'd want to work in a coal mine? Such a rubbish job.

They are some of the best paying jobs in West Virginia. They may be shit, but people need to feed their families.

Yeah there is nothing wrong with the MSM. They report the facts unbiased...and always give Americans the truth about everything.

so Hillary wants to run the country on Hamster Wheels,Windmills and Solyndra products? like, within a few months? meanwhile put a stop to coal production?

 

[Rexx Taylor]

I wonder how the far left would be heating/cooling their homes if we didnt have any coal?

 

[Norman]

The coal industry is dead.

More dead than the steel mills.

When will the dumb hillbillies figure out that it's over?

Indeed, the democrat regressives killed it.

Hillary: I dont care about the lives of coal miner workers so long as I have 250 Million in the bank.

No, what killed it is that we have better methods of producing energy that are cleaner and less dangerous.

Of course it does, if you disconnect from all reasoning ability.

 

[JoeB131]

The left sure has some issues with the working men and women.

Or we just realize that certain jobs vanish when there is no longer a need for them.

The thing is, we could completely eliminate coal as an energy source if we wanted to. We don't because no one wants to upset the coal miners. No one wants more coal plants and the ones that still exist are being replaced.

 

[JoeB131]

Why then, do you need all that EPA regulation that kills coal business?

Oh, because you are full of shit.

You mean why do we need regulations to protect the air and water supply?

Really?

I kind of like breathing clean air and drinking clean water. How about you?
