Clinton Apologizes for Coal Industry Comments

Hillary Clinton, in a rare candid moment on the trail, apologized to a man who confronted her over comments made earlier this year about putting coal miners “out of business,” NBC News reports.

Said Clinton: “What I said was totally out of context from what I meant because I have been talking about helping coal country for a very long time. What I was saying is that the way things are going now, we will continue to lose jobs. That’s what I meant to say.”

She later admitted that her comments on coal miners meant her chances in the upcoming West Virginia primary are “pretty difficult.”
