Former Ohio governor John Kasich, in an interview with CNN anchor Don Lemon, suggested some Trump supporters “are redeemable.”
Kasich (R), who unsuccessfully ran against former President Trump in 2016 and endorsed Joe Biden in 2020, suggested to Lemon that supporters must confess their sins before being welcomed back into the fold.
In other words, confess that the Capitol riots were as bad as the media portrays and the whole event is all Trump’s fault.
“Honestly, Don, what we have to ask ourselves are, who’s redeemable?” he said. “Who we bring over to say this is — this is just wrong. This never happened this way.”
“And we’ve got to figure out how to talk to some of those people and reach them, Don, and get them back.”
“Some of them are redeemable. I can tell you they are. And you know that some of them are, don’t you?” Kasich continued. “You’ve met them. They’ve gone up to you and said, ‘Lemon, you’re right.'”
...
For his part, Lemon wasn’t buying the notion that some Trump supporters are redeemable, as John Kasich suggests.
“How do you reason with unreasonable people?” he asked.
“No matter how many times you show them video of Trump supporters and people – hundreds – 150 or so, or close to it, who have been arrested from the Capitol … that is not living in reality,” Lemon added.
“Why would you even want to reason with those people?”
‘Not living in reality’ is Lemon, who is super-despondent over what happened at the Capitol but denied the reality of leftist-led race riots over the summer.
Lemon suggested rioters setting cities ablaze in the name of racial justice were comparable to American revolutionaries.

And Kasich will always be an idiot.
I want no part of a GOPee that has a thing like Kasich as a member. GOPee Delnda Est!
Still deplorable after all these years...
The arrogance is breathtaking.
Not me.
Kasich and his ilk are not redeemable to me.
Good luck to him and his cabal when he is judged.
It’s hard to believe that someone like that would say something like that with a straight face, good God.
What about the sodomite Don Lemon; is he redeemable?
““Some of them are redeemable. I can tell you they are. And you know that some of them are, don’t you?” Kasich continued. “You’ve met them. They’ve gone up to you and said, ‘Lemon, you’re right.’...”
He is suggesting that a Trump supporter went up to Don Lemon and said that Lemon was right? LOL
What policies to does Kasich believe in that would actually help working people? Mr son of a mailman
The GOP conned most everyone with the “GOPe” bit, the teaparty conjob and along with the term, “RINO” claptrap.
It’s all the GOP and it’s been like this for decades. They figure if they can rename sections of this party it will appease those drooling in cups and they’ll keep coming back for more abuse.
Kasich negotiates to be sent to the camps last.
I voted for Kasich, and gave him money. What a mistake. Am I redeemable?
Kasich & Lemon.
SPJNK.
Thank you so much, John Kasich, for your vote of confidence, however faint it is...
This guy is still clueless that *he* and those like him are why Trump was seen as needed.
KaySick doesn’t realize that the Republican Party has left him?
Deplorable.
Irredeemable.
Me.
He was once my POTUS crush. How quick they turn around.
