Blankenship, sentenced to prison for deaths of 29 miners, joins Trump fans protesting Hillary

The former CEO of Massey Energy, awaiting the start of his slap-on-the-wrist prison sentence for the 2010 Upper Big Branch mine explosion, rallies for the GOP

- via Ken Ward of the Charleston Gazette on facebook

"As he waits to hear if he's going to jail on May 12, Don Blankenship joins with the protesters outside Hillary Clinton appearance today in Williamson, WV"

Yes, southern WV, where you can violate mine safety laws and kills your workers, but conservatives will happily stand by you, "as long as yer against those durn liberals!"
