Mahoning County [Trump] campaign chair Kathy Miller [said that] racism didn’t exist before President Obama, and that African-Americans were to blame for the problems in their communities.
“I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected. We never had problems like this. …Now, 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,” Miller said in the Guardian interview.
“If you’re black and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault,” she added in the video, which was filmed outside of a county Republican picnic.
…Miller also said African Americans have “all the advantages” when it comes to education and said they only have themselves to blame if they haven’t achieved success in America.
She said African Americans aren’t finishing high school and are having children out of wedlock.
…“If people have jobs and go to work and do what they’re supposed to do, there is no racism,” she said.
Told by the reporter that African Americans might disagree with her, she replied “that’s because they’re not going to work.”
When asked whether she thought people might find her remarks offensive, she said, “I don’t care, it’s the truth.”
No racism before Obama? Top Trump volunteer resigns after that comment- Boston Globe
What an ignorant twat-waffle.
She deserves nothing but scorn for backwards, hateful, illogical and outright stupid remarks. I hope she is shunned from politics for life and it crushes her spirit and ultimately causes her early demise. Humanity doesn’t need any more mouth breathers.
