“I am your voice” — Donald Trump
by digby
This nice lady is who Trump is representing:
“I don’t think there was any racism until Obama got elected. We never had problems like this. I’m in the real estate industry. There’s none. Now, the people with the guns and shootin’ 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. I think that’s all his responsibility. And if you’re black, and you haven’t been successful in the last 50 years, it’s your own fault.”
“I think [if you’re black] you have a real advantage because you had all the advantages—going to college. You had all the advantages because they got into schools without the same grades as a white kid. So I think that when we look at the last 50 years, where are we and why? We have three generations of still having unwed babies, kids that don’t go through high school. I mean, when do they take responsibility for how they live? I think it’s due time, and I think it’s good that Mr. Trump is pointing that out.”
She’s now resigned as an official Mahoning County Ohio campaign chair for Trump. But she’s not alone. When they say “he tells it like it is” this is what many of his voters are talking about.
Don’t kid yourself. Its what his campaign has tapped into and it’s not just older people like her:
Update: Here’s the whole video. Fascinating stuff:
