Aug. 18, 2020, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement blasting former Ohio Republican Governor John Kasich for endorsing former Vice President Joe Biden for President:
“Delusional is too soft of a word to describe former Republican Governor John Kasich’s endorsement of the Biden-Harris ticket. Apparently, he has not been paying attention to the rioting on the streets that his fellow Biden-Harris supporters are not only tolerating but inflaming. Take AOC squad member Representative Ayanna Pressley and her call for ‘unrest in the streets’ and Democratic National Committee convention speaker Ashley Nicole McRay’s call for using the Green New Deal for the ‘destruction’ of capitalism.
“Kasich’s Ohio has been one of the primary beneficiaries of the energy independence boom with the oil and natural gas production from the Marcellus Shale formation being a major reason. I’m sure that his good friend Joe Biden’s promise to end this energy miracle will play well with his former constituents. The truth is that Kasich has decided that a political party which not only refuses to condemn, but encourages the burning of our cities, which rejects capitalism and embraces socialism and has no problem with tearing down statues of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln is for him. Quite a sad ending for someone who was once a rising leader for limited government and freedom.”
