2020 VIDEO: John Fetterman Defended Clinton’s Pledge to ‘Put a Lot of Coal Miners’ Out of WorkWendell Husebø 27 Oct 2022
Pennsylvania Senate Democrat candidate John Fetterman defended two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s pledge to scale down the coal industry, throwing thousands of coal miners’ jobs in doubt.
In February 2020, Fetterman said the criticism of Clinton’s comment was “unfair” and that she just “articulated it in a way that was taken out of context,” a WHYY’s Radio Times interview uncovered by the Republican National Committee’s research team shows.
But the exact quote of Clinton’s comment contradicts Fetterman’s claims that Clinton was taken out of context.
“We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business,” Hillary said in reference to transitioning the United States from fossil fuels — a policy John Fetterman has pledged as well.
“I would be proud to be at the tip of that spear” in transitioning Pennsylvania away from fossil fuels to “green and renewable sources,” Fetterman said in 2018.
