Donald Trump’s campaign chair in a crucial Ohio county has resigned after an interview with the Guardian in which she said there was no racism in America until the election of Barack Obama.

Kathy Miller, who was coordinating the Republican nominee’s campaign in Mahoning County, apologized for her “inappropriate” remarks on Thursday and said she would no longer have a role with the campaign.

Her resignation came just hours after the release of the first film in a series of election videos, Anywhere but Washington.

The video included an interview with Miller in which she said there was “no racism” during the 1960s and claimed black people who have not succeeded over the past half-century only have themselves to blame.

“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.”

Miller added: “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.”

Mark Munroe, the Mahoning chair for the GOP, said he immediately contacted the Trump campaign in Ohio asking for Miller to be dismissed over her “insane comments”.

This is national (and even international) news?

A campaign manager in some Ohio county?

What a stretch. Using any pissant action to throw dirt on Trump.

She represents her Master, and is saying moronic things in a battleground state.  It's relevant.

Rather than bashing the posting of this article, perhaps you should be rethinking the abject stupidity of the Trump campaign.

If you really want the degenerate to win, maybe you should writing letters to them telling them to stop making fools of themselves on a daily basis.

No.  That was a different article.

That was revealing the stupidity of the Trump campaign in Ohio.

This one's saying that Ms Moron has resigned.

Different thing.
