Speaking in Homewood, PA on Friday, Bill Clinton criticized the “coal people” in West Virginia for supporting Donald Trump.
WATCH:
“We all know how [Hillary’s] opponent has done well down in West Virginia and eastern Kentucky,” the former president told the crowd at the Greater Pittsburgh Coliseum. “The coal people don’t like any of us [Democrats] anymore.”
Clinton added that “they all voted for me. I won twice, and they did well.”

“They blame the president when the sun doesn’t come up in the morning now.”
Since Clinton left office, West Virginia has overwhelmingly swung red.
In 1996, Clinton won 51.5 percent of the state’s popular vote, yet Barack Obama only carried 35.5 percent in the last election.
Kentucky has seen similar trends in recent elections, with Clinton earning 45.8 percent in 1996 and Obama earning 37.8 percent in 2012.
How the Clinton’s can display so much open aristocratic disdain for the working public and still have such undying support is beyond my ability to grasp.
Working public v. Not working public. The uber rich who do no labor, and the subsidized poor who do no labor being hillarsency’s base.
Except that they DON’T have such undying support any more. No one likes Killary. Most people realize that Bill is not only a liar and adulterer but also a general scumbag and probably a pedophile too. The only people actively supporting them are (a) criminals in on the scam and (b) the absolute stupidest, mouth-breathing, drooling mooks, most of them women who are, or are trying to become, crazy cat ladies. Any other half-decent Democrat would be polling at 60-80% when Trump is the opponent, and Killary is struggling for 40%.
The Clintons are key parts of a massive criminal conspiracy that is probably unprecedented in the last century.
That dude has a lot of dough…he could at least get his grungy teeth whitened.
Those are bleached. It’s hard to scrub demon funk off.
“The coal people”? He called them the “coal people”? What does he call his friends and constituency; the “Dick Lickers”? The “Ass Kissers”? The “Kid Fuckers”? The “Traitors”?
I call them “The Ones Who Will Be Hanged”.
Truly amazed that it took this long for people to finally see through theses scumbags. For the most part, the “political classes” have sold us out many years ago! Wake UP! What is happening is called Neo-Feudalism! You know, where the King lives in the castle, and you eat shit and make him richer! Get it now? Just look around.
“Coal people”? Wow, hard to believe a former Democrat president would use such a contemptuous term for workers who, once, were the backbone of organized labor in America. Whose bloody battles against mine owners were the stuff of legend in Democratic Party circles.
The boy from Hope, Arkansas has really left his roots behind. What will issue from his mouth next? White trash? No, don’t look in the mirror Bill, we’ll know who you mean!
Who the fuck cares what he has to say. I heard about five minutes of that speech and his lies. What a fucking moron, what might be worse is the 50 people clapping who beloved his bullshit.
