“Of all the federal development money for economics, should be devoted exclusively to small towns, rural areas, from Coal Country, to Indian Country to places in rural Pennsylvania, rural Arkansas, where nothing good has happened in a long time,” Clinton said.
Protestors also attended the event, voicing their support for GOP candidate, Donald Trump.
