Women "left their kitchens" - John Kasich Talking About Senate Run

Republican presidential candidate John Kasich says he’s unscripted and will continue operating that way, even if it gets him in trouble.

At an event in Virginia Monday, Kasich raised eyebrows when he said that he first got elected to the state Senate in part by “women who left their kitchens” to campaign for him.

“How did I get elected?” Kasich asked the crowd, recalling his first run for state senate in Ohio in 1978. “Nobody was–I didn’t have anybody for me.

Now you call homes and everybody’s out working. But at that time, early days, it was an army of the women that really helped me get elected to the state senate.”

Kasich made the comment while speaking to a large crowd at George Mason University. One female student was quick to respond to the governor’s comment.

“I gotcha, I gotcha,” Kasich responded. Cont.
