Yes, he actually said it. Fairly recently. "Learn how to program" is the way he put it. Reported by several sources...plus YouTube video.

You can't make this stuff up anymore. It's Twilight Zone on the Dem side.

Did he actually say that? I don't think it's a bad idea for coal workers to recognize that their industry has limited opportunity in the future, and to diversify. It's still shitty for Biden to say that. That's kind of like telling someone who's broke to "be rich." Can Biden code? This is similar to Hillary saying she's going to put them out of work. If you plan to close down coal as a politician, it is *your* responsibility to retrain and find those people work that pays the same because it is you causing the harm.

As someone who is from coal country I have a dog in this fight. Change comes slowly where I’m from. Most guys who mine coal can say that their dad and their grandpa and probably their great grandpa also mined coal. It chews men up and spits them out but it’s a way of life. Like Hillary’s comment, if this is true it shows a complete disconnect from, and disregard for, an entire region full of voters. If you want them to learn how to code, give them an incentive to do so. Give them another way to make a living while they learn a new skill, don’t just take away everything they have ever known and leave them with nothing.

If nothing else, it's pretty tone deaf on the part of Biden.
