Kasich: Warmbier family 'in deeper pain' because of Trump comments

Former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) said Monday that members of Otto Warmbier's family are in "deeper pain" because of President Trump's comments over the last week.

"The Warmbier family are in deeper pain, I'm sure, again, as a result of all this," Kasich said on CNN.

"There is no such thing as 'delicately balancing' when somebody is tortured and essentially sent home brain dead,” he said.

"There is no negotiating here," he added. "The leader of North Korea knew exactly where Warmbier was and they used him as a pawn."

How did all these people get so smart to be able to tell us what others are thinking and feeling?

"Go fuck yourself sideways with a Hard Cover, First Edition copy of Atlas Shrugged, you worthless piece of amphibian shit"!!

The fucking country is in "deeper pain" because of dumbshits like you and your fucking asshat Retrumplican Party.

Fuck every last one of your fucking attempts to paint yourself as a "moderate" Retrumplican you fuckstick.

It's because of dipshits like you that this country is fucked.

and fuck Ohio too!!!

Hate to say that because that's my home state, but I don't fucking recognize that racist fucking state anymore.

I don't know what should embarrass Ohio more. You and your desperate attempt to paint yourself as anything other than a Koch sucking jackhole, or Gym Jordan.

My God!!!! WTF happened to my once great state?

that the physical abuse the family claims - actually happened.

It's a long read, but you can skip to the part about what probably happened.

This does not make N. Korea - or Kim right - it is clearly his fault as the leader of the nation.

And Trump is an idiot. The Warmbier family is angry. It's understandable. But their claim of torture (physical) may not be true. Indeed, it seems unlikely.
