How do you go from wanting to 'put a lot of miners and coal mines out of business', to this:

(8,352 posts)used the Sandy Hook tragedy in CT to be anti-guns but talked up her family connections to rural PA with a love hunting.

In this case, the people who work for the coal companies deserve to know unambiguously, as do the people who are against the use of coal.
They don't want to give her wiggle room and not know what to expect from her in the future.
Her style of "don't pin me down" political double speak is exactly why so many people have been turned off to politics and politicians.
