13:00Now PlayingKathy Miller was the Ohio County Campaign Chair for Donald Trump, until she made some racist comments to a reporter. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"The chair of Donald Trump’s campaign in an Ohio county resigned on Thursday after claiming that racism against African-Americans didn’t exist before President Barack Obama.
“My personal comments were inappropriate, and I apologize,” Mahoning County chair Kathy Miller said in a statement. “I am not a spokesperson for the campaign and was not speaking on its behalf. I have resigned as the volunteer campaign chair in Mahoning County and as an elector to the Electoral College to avoid any unnecessary distractions.”
Miller’s resignation came hours after The Guardian published an interview in which she blamed low voter turnout among African-Americans on the way “they’re raised” and stressed that blacks have only themselves to blame if they haven’t been successful “in the last 50 years.”
Video of the remarks ricocheted across the internet, prompting swift action from the Trump campaign.”*
