Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) weighed in on the drama between the Pope and Donald Trump during a CNN town hall Thursday night, saying “I’m pro Pope.”
“Put me down in the pro-pope column,” Kasich said. “This man has brought more sense of hope.”
The Pope said Thursday that building walls “is not Christian,” referring to Trump’s position that he would erect a giant wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Trump fired back, but Kasich inferred Thursday that Trump’s message was meant to divide the country.
“We have a right to build a wall, but I gotta tell you there are too many walls between us,” Kasich said. “We need bridges between us if we are going to fix the problems in Washington.”
