Kasich responds to Trump's comments on his manners by slamming Trump's steak business
After John Kasich was berated earlier in the day by Donald Trump over his table manners, Kasich's campaign fired back at the modern day Emily Post, telling him the Ohio governor would have eaten a Trump steak had the venture not failed.
During a rally in Rhode Island on Monday, Trump seemed downright scandalized by the footage he saw of Kasich eating in a diner while on the campaign trail. "I have never seen a human being eat in such a disgusting fashion," he told the crowd. Seemingly unable to get the mental image out of his mind, Trump continued: "This guy takes a pancake and he's shoving it in his mouth. It's disgusting." He did not mention Ted Cruz, his well-documented love of soup, or how he consumes it.
