Former congresswoman and vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro is resigning her fundraising position with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign after controversial comments she made about Clinton’s rival, Sen. Barack Obama.
Ferraro laid controversy with her recent remarks that "Obama’s campaign was successful because he was black".
She told to the reports, on Wednesday that she was "absolutely not" sorry for her comments.
"I am who I am and I will continue to speak up,".
Ferraro — who said she raised about $125,000 for Clinton’s campaign — said she was not asked to step down by Clinton or her staff.
Ferraro added she understands why Clinton distanced herself from her remarks, saying she was "perfectly fine" with that and that there were no hard feelings.
"I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself about what is at stake in this campaign," Ferraro wrote in a letter to Clinton.
