Trump Ohio Campaign Chair Resigns After Racist Comments

HeadlineSep 23, 2016

Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign chair in Ohio, Kathy Miller, has resigned after The Guardian published an interview in which she made a series of racist comments.

Kathy Miller: “I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected, that we never had problems like this. You know, I’m in the real estate industry. There’s none. Now, you know, with the people with the guns and shooting up neighborhoods and not being responsible citizens, that’s a big change, and I think that’s the philosophy that Obama has perpetuated on America. And if you’re black and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault.”
