Kasich: Women ‘left their kitchens’ to back him
It’s a “joke” that is so deeply lame and that is cheered by such deeply lame people that it makes non-terrible men/men over the age of 15 want to do spoken word performances of “The Yellow Wallpaper” just to compensate.
The measure follows an outcry among abortion opponents around the country after the release of secretly recorded videos by activists alleging that Planned Parenthood sold fetal tissue to researchers for a profit in violation of federal law. Kasich’s team is hopeful that Virginia – particularly the more moderate northern Virginia – will turn out for him March 1. “Rather than listen to the majority of Ohioans who oppose defunding Planned Parenthood, Kasich chose to take sides with radical extremists who were recently indicted on felony charges”.
“And how did I get elected?”
The Kasich campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from the USA TODAY Network.
At a campaign event, Kasich described his first electoral win decades ago, noting many of his supporters were women who “left their kitchens” to support his state senate bid.
There was instant backlash to John Kasich’s comments, which both liberals and conservatives found to be slightly sexist.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign – which sells needlepoint throw pillows that read “a woman’s place is in the White House” – tweeted similar sentiments in response to Kasich’s statement: “It’s 2016”. I’m more than happy to say I’m sorry if I offended somebody out there, but it wasn’t meant to be offensive.
The title: “No, John Kasich, I don’t want Taylor Swift tickets”. “I don’t use teleprompters. So there’s a lot of people who are looking for that”. “They look at me, and one in particular said, ‘I trust you”.
“I’m going to continue to operate on a high wire without a net”, he said. “I went because it’s my civic duty to be an informed voter”.
Still, the “kitchen” comment isn’t the first time Kasich has come under fire for saying something arguably tone-deaf about women’s gender roles.
His presidential campaign spokesman dismissed the remark as meaning the campaigns were home grown affairs “run out of his friends’ kitchens”. Ted Cruz was recently quoted claiming that Celiac disease is not a real illness, so the military shouldn’t have to worry about providing gluten-free MREs to soldiers. “The notion that they were coming out of their kitchens with wooden spoons is just insulting”. “They should be in front of Planned Parenthood”.
