Here’s some highlights:
On guns
“Do I think they can do anything on guns? I hope they prove me wrong and they can because I have no confidence in them.”
On President Donald Trump’s reaction to school shooting
“We need leadership out of the executive.” “This is a great opportunity for common sense steps that can be taken. … Mr. President, I ask you to do this. You don’t have to boil the ocean, but take some steps now.”
On Congress
“They can’t decide anything. They can’t decide that a kid that was brought here at five years of age whose been here for 30 years ought to be able to say. They can’t agree to anything down there.”
Twitter reaction
Gov. Kasich’s comments got a lot of attention on Twitter. Here’s some of the reaction:
Update to yesterday’s story about @JohnKasich’s comments on guns on CNN: his campaign website now has a new page, replacing the one taken down yesterday that was labeled “Defending the Second Amendment”. This one is labeled “Common Sense on the Second Amendment”. pic.twitter.com/ovmWqDphbO

This Tweet in the article tells me all I need to know: the word President is in quotes and is not capitalized, implying he’s not really the President. Kasich is still running against Trump. pic.twitter.com/ANaPK1mvpK

I can’t stand Kasich. He signed a bill allowing Ohio citizens to carry firearms in daycares, airports, and college campuses. Now he’s grandstanding for CNN. https://t.co/jXPZJ0yJKy

I voted for John Kasich in the presidential primary last time, in part because he claimed to support #2ADefenders. I understand the urge to do something, but he is misguided and wrong re: this issue. https://t.co/V33DZXeozT
