WILLIAMSON — Christopher Cline bought a piece of foam board Sunday night. Then he printed out some pictures of himself — one of him working in a coal mine, one of him flexing his muscles with coal dust on his face, one of him holding his infant daughter — pasted them on the poster and wrote on it “Coal built America! It is the past present and future.”
“It cost around $10,” Cline said, “but it was worth every penny.”
Cline, 23, drove more than an hour Monday from Louisa, Kentucky, just to voice his disapproval of former secretary of state and current Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton as she got out of her campaign van and walked into the Williamson Wellness and Health Clinic, in Mingo County.
Cline said he felt like Clinton’s appearance was insulting after she said earlier in the year that she would put a lot of people in the coal industry out of jobs.
“Her being here isn’t just a slap in the face to me,” Cline said. “It’s a slap in the face to coal miners.”
