Ferraro stands by that assertion but says the Obama camp has twisted her remarks out of context. "I am stepping down from your finance committee so I can speak for myself and you can continue to speak for yourself," she wrote Clinton. "The Obama campaign is attacking me to hurt you. I won't let that happen," she said. Despite resigning, Ferraro will keep raising money for Clinton, CNN reports. By her own reports, she's already raised $125,000. Camp Clinton distanced itself from Ferraro after the flap, though both women have said there are no hard feelings between the two. Read These Next What makes a person cool? These six traits.
