Joe Biden said coal miners should “learn how to program” during a campaign speech in New Hampshire on Monday.
“Anybody who can go down 300 to 3,000 feet in a mine can sure as hell learn to program as well…Give me a break! Anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for god’s sake!” Biden said.
Biden also said on Sunday that “we should put them in jail” when talking about fossil fuel executives.
Biden appears to be no different than Hillary Clinton, who made a strikingly similar remark on miners.
“We’re going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business,” Clinton said in March of 2016.
