Kasich issues f*ck you to GOP chair: Trump and Priebus responsible for ‘potential national wipeout’

Ohio governor and former presidential candidate John Kasich seems like he’s done with the Republican Party.

The ongoing battle with the party took off Sunday evening when top advisors trashed GOP party chair Reince Priebus and implied presidential candidate Donald Trump doesn’t have a shot to win. According to Politico, Priebus alluded to the fact that the party might block all future aspirations for Kasich if he doesn’t play ball. Kasich’s campaign issued an official statement Sunday essentially telling Priebus, “F*ck you.”

“Thankfully, there are still leaders in this country who put principles before politics,” Kasich advisor John Weaver said in the statement. “The idea of a greater purpose beyond oneself may be alien to political party bosses like Reince Priebus, but it is at the center of everything Governor Kasich does.”

He then went on to call Priebus “a Kenosha political operative,” insulting Priebus’s home state of Wisconsin, and proclaiming that he should be thankful for Kasich for being a candidate with “an inclusive, conservative vision that can actually win a national election.”
