Don Blankenship: Obama administration hid the truth about Benghazi, Libya

"In 2012, four Americans were killed by terrorists in Benghazi, Libya. Many say the Obama administration hid the Benghazi truth," a deep-voiced narrator says. "The truth about more killed Americans has also been hidden. In 2010, 29 Americans were killed. None were ambassadors, none were CIA agents, none were killed by terrorists. They were American coal miners killed when the U.S. government reduced their mine's air flow. President Trump must be told the truth about Obama's deadliest cover-up."

Another ad features a miner who worked for Massey telling viewers: "the people will decide whether they believe Barack Obama's prosecutors and judges or the coal miners who were there."

The coal miners who were there are dead, but their families are still alive. One of them told a local TV station: "Everything [Blankenship] says is a lie."
