Ohio Trump Campaign Chair Resigns After Blatant Racism

Kathy Miller, Ohio Trump campaign chair, will resign after making outrageously racist comments to The Guardian, claiming “I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected.”

“If you’re black and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault. You’ve had every opportunity, it was given to you,” she said.

“You’ve had the same schools everybody else went to. You had benefits to go to college that white kids didn’t have. You had all the advantages and didn’t take advantage of it. It’s not our fault, certainly.”

The GOP chair for Mahoning County, Mark Munroe, has called her statements “insane” and then requested for her to be dismissed from her position.

Hour later, she resigned.

“My personal comments were inappropriate, and I apologize. I am not a spokesperson for the campaign and was not speaking on its behalf,” she said in apology. “I have resigned as the volunteer campaign chair in Mahoning County and as an elector to the electoral college to avoid any unnecessary distractions.”
