"I don’t need your people" is exactly what Republican Gov. John Kasich told Ed’s guest Ohio State Senator Nina Turner. Turner had offered to help Kasich find qualified candidates to round out his all white, mainly male cabinet.
Remember, Kasich – a former Fox News mouth is the same weasel who proposed combining St. Patrick’s Day with Martin Luther King observances. We suspect there may be some racism in his pale cabinet choices, the like of which has not been seen since 1963.
Kasich instantly jumps to "quotas" as if they were relevant to the issue. I wish Senator Nina Turner the best. She would prefer to come to an agreement with Kasich, but it is certain she will need to resort to plan B and contact the Ohio Civil Rights Commission. They may be able to right this wrong, but they will never change Kasich. He stands as a reminder to all of us, that ugly racism and exclusion are with us still.
