John Kasich called on President Donald Trump to "condemn" white supremacists and neo-Nazis after their "pathetic" march on Charlottesville, Virginia, turned violent last weekend.

"Pathetic, isn't it?" Kasich launched in, not waiting for a question from his hosts on NBC's "Today."

"To somehow draw some kind of equivalency to somebody else reduces the ability to totally condemn these hate groups," Kasich said of Trump's renewed insistence Tuesday that "both sides" were to blame for violence in Charlottesville. Kasich has condemned only the white supremacists.
........
Trump's approach reduces the presidency to "another CEO job" from the most important job in the country, Kasich said. "There is a bitterness setting in that may not be able to be removed," Kasich said. "He's got to fix this, and Republicans have got to speak out."

2. Well, Mr. Kasich, if you hadn't worked so hard on voter suppression in Ohio...

perhaps Trump wouldn't be president.

I find him very hypocritical. Voter suppression is one of the most racist tactics there is.
