Did you read the part where he went to prison for violating mine safety standards at the company he owned? Sounds like a rich guy who doesn’t give a shit about people. Nothing like President Trump.

I agree, Blankenship is scum. Skirted so many safety violations that literally got 29 of his employees killed. He spent years fighting it in courts trying to avoid settlements for the families. Total scumbag

Don Blankenship was the candidate under the Constitution party, ran ads against Cocaine Mitch in 2018 and created the term cocaine mitch. His political views are very similar to Donald. The Constitution Party is also something interesting to look into

Totally wrong. He is a resident of WV and ran for Senate in WV. He attacked Mitch's policies as a whole but in no way "ran against him".

Thanks for the clarification. He totally should though. He knew Mitch was beholden to China 3 years ago

IMO he has too much baggage with the mining accidents and his prison sentence to win a major political race. I'm not a fan personally but to each their own. Great thing about America!

I didn’t realize he is from a different state but I guess Kentucky and West Virginia politics have a weird relationship.

Yes that is true, they have similar industries and values for the most part!
