The Republican candidates for the 2016 presidential election all seem to be taking a page out of Donald Trump’s controversial and, at times, just plain ignorant playbook; most recently, this has included Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who said last Thursday,”[Latinos] are great, caring, hardworking folks. And a lot of them do jobs that they’re willing to do. That’s why in the hotel you leave a little tip, you know”
Kasich and his team have since attempted to rectify the comments.
“All I was trying to say the other day is that I’m glad sometimes, in the middle of the speed of what I’m doing, that I can slow down and honor people who sometimes we run past very quickly,” said Kasich several days after making the remarks, adding that Latinos “contribute so much, and not just [to] one area, but they’re completely involved in all aspects of our economy.”
