Fast switch on coal jobs

Mitch McConnell spent eight years telling the people of Eastern Kentucky he was fighting President Obama and the “liberals” for their coal jobs.

Now that a Republican will be in the White House it only took Mitch two-and-a-half days to say the coal jobs won’t be coming back. What a sorry excuse of a senator.
