Nithya Raman's LA mayoral campaign fires a staffer over a 'racist' video as her bid falls into 'disarray'

The video, posted by staffer, appeared to show him joking that Black voters in Michigan would not turn out — comments the campaign called 'racist and offensive'. Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black also publicly withdrew his support from Raman at a mayoral event, backing rival Karen Bass instead.
