A video from a few years back featuring Ohio Gov. John Kasich calling a law enforcement officer an idiot is resurfacing, and boy, oh boy, is it making this guy even more unpopular than he already is.
Yes, that’s actually possible.
Outspoken Sheriff David Clarke is none too happy with Kasich over the video as he made clear in a recent tweet.

This will INCREASE his likability among young DNC radicals.
Act stupidly, idiot, what’s the difference?
But nothing negative about mailmen?

Great yob John-boy!
You are now right in there with obama idiotic and irresponsible remark that the police ‘acted stupidly’.
Yes. The police are infallible. Every one of them. Criticizing one makes you a terrible person.
You people are sheep.
I remember John doing this. He later apologized.
Coulda used this last week.
Did you watch the video? It shows proof that Mr. Kasich was guilty of the traffic violation charged. The officer was very polite throughout the encounter. Maybe Mr. Kasich should have attempted to change the traffic code through the legislature instead of repeatedly calling the officer an idiot?
Yeah, I dunno. I’m not seeing much wrong other than Kasich (and I am no fan) called the cop an idiot. In point of fact, it is the idiot Ohio legislature, or municipality, that made this traffic violation a mandatory appearance. That is ridiculous. People work. Kasich asked the cop if he could just pay the fine. Nope, had to appear in court on Monday morning.
Kasich was reasonably polite at the stop as was the officer. Again, Kasich’s calling the cop an idiot is misplaced. The cop didn’t make the court appearance mandatory. However, I will stipulate that the cop could have given him Kasich a warning, but did the cop did the “respect my athoritah” routine.
Bottom line? Not much there.
Agreed. This was a bull$#*^ stop. Another meter maid collecting taxes for THE MAN.The cop wasn’t an idiot though, just trying to fill his quota.
Agree with Obadiah
With “Republicans” like K-Suck, who needs Democrats?
Just cinched his bid to be Hillary’s VP.
This is just another case of a government employee holding a citizen by their hells and trying to shake all of their money out of their pockets. I challenge anyone to articulate how anyone was ACTUALLY harmed by Kasich’s actions. I watched the video, there was at least 8 feet between his car and the cop car on the side of the road. I’m so tired of laws about things “that might happen”, but rarely do, but are really just enacted to generate revenue. I’m no fan of Kasich btw. I’m even less of a fan of “victimless” crimes AKA revenue generators.

Kasich didn’t try to move over to the left when he could easily have done it. Most people do.
Did you see how dangerous this spot was for anyone having to get out of the car, the police in this case? I don’t know how many times I’ve read about a good Samaritan getting run over because they stopped to help someone change a tire or something when the car is pulled over. It is dangerous for everyone not to give as much leeway as possible when a car or emergency vehicle is stopped on the side of the road.
Kasich was in the wrong and the policeman was not an idiot. But obviously, Kasich didn’t learn anything. Next time he might caused someone to die because of his obstinacy.
Why the ignorant, arrogant @$$ is known as “Hothead John.”
