During a discussion at the University of Delaware between Joe Biden and Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich, something interesting happened:
Biden on campus left wing politics: “liberals have a short memory … we hurt ourselves badly when we don’t allow speech to take place”

Biden: “You should be able to listen to another point of view, as virulent as it may be, and reject it or expose it.”

That … actually makes sense. Surely Kasich would agree, right? After all, he ran for president as a Republican. He wants us to believe he champions conservative values like freedom of speech, right?
Eh, not so much:
Kasich said if he were a university president he wouldn’t “let one of these hate speech speakers come”

Hmmm.

And illuminating.
So Biden was right and Kasich wrong . . . https://t.co/FVf7aXn8Op

When Joe Biden’s talking more constitutional sense than you, John Kasich, it might be time to re-evaluate some things. Like maybe that (R) after your name.
There was a time when Kasich was a good conservative. Don't know what happened to him
