John Gregg’s Running Mate Hillary Clinton Targets Hoosier Coal Jobs

March 14, 2016

During the CNN Democrat Town Hall last night, Hillary Clinton boasted that if she were elected President, she would “put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business.”

Democrat gubernatorial candidate John Gregg is a well-known, proud Hillary Clinton supporter – even serving as the Honorary Chairman for her Presidential campaign in Indiana.

With nearly 4,000 Hoosiers employed in the coal industry, voters deserve to know if Gregg stands with them or with Hillary Clinton on this important matter. While Gregg’s numerous inconsistent stances and silence on key issues already prove he is unfit to lead the state, this statement by Clinton, Gregg’s likely running mate, makes it known she sees Indiana jobs as a top target for elimination.

Gregg Has Repeatedly Flip-Flopped And Moved To The Left On A Number Of Issues. “John’s transformation has been rapid and epic. And a cynic might even say it’s been politically convenient. …If only he would better explain his journey from longtime social conservative to a more liberal state of mind.” (Tim Swarens, “Who Is The Real John Gregg?” Indianapolis Star, 1/29/2016)
