Kasich should not have issued a groveling apology, or any apology, to women for saying women “left their kitchens” to support him in his first campaign. It was in no way demeaning, especially when taken in the context of the time to which he was referring. It’s akin to the groveling apology issued for saying “All lives matter.” The groveling waa much more revealing of the men than the original comments.
It was really more of a defensive explanation than a groveling apology, but still, what we need are leaders who will stay on the offensive and deliberately offend, say offensive things (like Trump does) instead of always being on defense, always seeking the approval of the enemy....
