Here is the eighty-fourth article in our Republicans on Parade series, featuring individuals who personify what the Republican Party has become. Today’s honoree is Governor and Presidential also ran, John KKKasich (R-OH). He is so honored for his Republican views on women’s role in society.
At a town hall in Watertown, Pennsylvania on Friday, a local college student asked Ohio Governor and presidential candidate John Kasich what he would do as president to make young women like her feel safer on campus. She cited what many consider a current epidemic of “violence, harassment and rape” at colleges and universities.
Kasich at first ignored the student’s question and turned to his staffer, joking that he had to go and didn’t want to miss his ride. He then suggested that all colleges offer victims of sexual assault “confidential reporting,” rape kits, and “the opportunity to be able to pursue justice after you have had some time to reflect on it all.” He concludes by telling the woman, a first-year at New York’s Saint Lawrence University: “I will give you one bit of advice. Don’t go to parties where there’s a lot of alcohol.”…
…The Democratic National Committee blasted Kasich for “blaming victims of sexual and domestic violence,” and noted, “It is no wonder women are turning away from the Republican field in huge numbers.”

Barf Bag Alert!!
He actually sounded almost reasonable until the end, but this was not a case of simple misspeaking. Rachel Maddow covered his issues in much more detail.
KKKasich’s attitude on a woman’s place could not be clearer.

Lordy…Mr. K. is out of control. Or lost his mind, imho. Gawd.
Thanks, Tom.
Well, Pat, I wish I could agree, but that fact is that his mindset is quite typical, and I can't even say "of his generation" (or "of the nineteenth century" or the thirteenth) because they exist in every age group. We are still seeing articles like "Dear Street Harasser: Here Are 6 Reasons I Refuse to Smile." Followed by comments you would hardly believe if you hadn't heard them yourself.
Yes, of course not all men are like this. Certainly none of the men who post here are like this. But way too many are.
I was certainly like that in my youth. It was considered the order of things.
But you, like other men who have both brains and hearts, grew.
Kasich, and the rest of the GOPig wannabe leaders share a lack of character that was described by Joseph Heller, tweeted, and re-tweeted by Bette Midler. This can be seen in a new posting at C2- http://www.care2.com/news/member/565542931/3975374
What a sad, sad state of affairs when Kasich is few as the only "sane" candidate for the GOP.
I don't think their "sanity" bar can get any lower.
I totally agree with you!
Is there a single Republican candidate who is not a misogynist? I mentioned before that my friends from Ohio hated him. This is one of the reasons.
No
A chameleon? KKKasich is showing his true colours to the national audience as the campaign carries on. I am sure Ohioans already knew his true colours!
√ Misogynist
√ Racist
√ Arrogant
The standard repugnant GOP asshole!
Thanks all!! Hugs!!
