Washington – John Kasich says he asked his aides to give him a list of Donald Trump’s quotes promoting violence at rallies after clashes between protesters and supporters led to the cancellation of a Trump rally on Friday night.
The Ohio GOP governor has largely declined to criticize Trump until now.
Speaking with The Associated Press aboard his campaign bus between stops in Ohio, Kasich pulled out his iPad and read off a list of Trump quotes compiled by his press secretary.
The quotes included Trump’s comments that his audiences should “hit back” a little more and a statement that he’d like to punch a protester in the face.
Kasich says the “toxic” tone Trump has created makes it even more important for him to win Tuesday’s primary in Ohio, adding, “this is not what Ohio goes for.”
