I’d like to wish a happy The Passover to all our Jewish friends.

Oh. No. He. Didn’t.

But of course he did:

“It’s a wonderful, wonderful holiday for our friends in the Jewish community – the Passover,” Kasich told reporters after emerging from the matzah bakery, a box of the fresh-baked stuff in hand.

Yes, Jews are known to love The Passover, almost as much they love The Pre-Election Drop-By from vote-seeking politicians.

Flanked by Hasidic publicist Ezra Friedlander, Kasich then launched into a brief appraisal of the links between Passover and, um, the blood of Jesus Christ.

Oh … oh dear …

I like John Kasich, but he may need to go back and re-read the Bible. https://t.co/GJbf79qi1B
