Hillary Clinton made a grand apology to Appalachia during her first general election campaign stop in southern Ohio on Tuesday.

“It shouldn’t have to be said but I’ll say it: Appalachia is a vital part of the United States,” Clinton told voters on the last stop of her Appalachia tour in Athens, Ohio. “Appalachia is home to some of the most hardworking resilient people on this planet and you deserve the same opportunity to get ahead and stay ahead in America.”
