That Hillary talked about the need to train and educate people in former coal mining strongholds for more modern jobs.

She was greeted with anger and contempt as her words were twisted against her. What a shock!

Actually found an article about it: https://www.npr.org/2016/05/03/476485650/fact-check-hillary-clinton-and-coal-jobs

If we had elected Hillary in 2016 those former miners would probably be watching their kids graduate college or technical schools now, off to a job that pays 3x to 4x as much as their parents ever made in the mines, and no black lung to go with it. But America decided it didn't want that for themselves or their children, and here we are almost a decade later.
