Today’s WTF statement has to be Kasich’s rape-y advice to women. ” If you don’t want to be raped, “don’t go to parties where there’s a lot of alcohol”

[Embedded content]

Not for men to keep it in their pants. Or that men need to take personal responsibility.

Nosiree.

It’s for the women to be not only responsible for their own rapes (by putting themselves in the situation in the first place), but they should live with the consequences (hey, there’s that non-punishment punishment the GOP keeps saying they aren’t for, but are).

It’s no different than saying that the woman was raped because she was wearing provocative clothing or other such BS.

And when you wonder why people say the GOP is misogynistic, or that none of the GOP candidates is good on women’s issues?

Kasich is right in line with the rest of the GOP in treating women like second class citizens. This is just another reminder.

Been saying it and saying it for months (years actually—decades!). John. Kasich. Is. An. Asshole.
