Hillary Clinton was met by dozens of enraged protesters and a middle finger or two during a campaign stop in Williamson, West Virginia, earlier this week.
Clinton sparked anger in Appalachia after her March promise to “put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”
The crowd demanded that Clinton “go home!” and held up a finger at her large black “Scooby Van.” Protesters also took aim at West Virginia senator Joe Manchin, dubbing him “Traitor Joe” for being a Clinton supporter.

Clinton responded to Copley by saying she misspoke when she said she’d put coal miners out of business, proving that she will truly pander at any given moment.
Hillary Clinton has promised to put plenty of people out of work while running for president, whether those people are coal miners or fast food workers seeking minimum wage hikes.
The words most associated with Clinton are ‘liar’ and ‘dishonest’ and for good reason.
