Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) on Monday said there’s a “serious disease” affecting U.S. politics. “There’s a disease now in American politics. It’s a serious disease,” Kasich said while appearing on “MSNBC Live" with Stephanie Ruhle. “It’s like everybody just is worried about the next elections," Kasich said. “If you’re a Democrat, then you’re against everything the Republicans are doing. If you’re a Republican, you’re against everything the Democrats are doing,” Kasich said, further adding that if a Democrat doesn’t adopt left-wing ideology, he or she “can’t be approved by Bernie Sanders.” Kasich also weighed in on the president’s “zero tolerance” immigration policy, which has resulted in the separation of undocumented children from their families and prompted criticism from both Republican and Democratic lawmakers. “When you are the strongest, the most powerful, the wealthiest, then you have broad shoulders. You don’t shrink away and whine and blame,” Kasich responded when asked about the controversial policy. “Think about the fact that in our country, children, young children, are being separated from their mothers and fathers,” Kasich said.

Donald Trump has criticized the FBI for missing the “many signals” about the Florida school shooter, saying the agency was spending “too much time” trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. The US president’s attempt to use the shooting to make a political point about the FBI’s Russia inquiries into the Trump campaign drew swift criticism, including from John Kasich, the Republican governor of Ohio, who told CNN it was an “absurd statement”. Trump, who the National Rifle Association (NRA) helped elect, made the comments as he faced demands for action on gun control, including from the teenage survivors of America’s latest school massacre. Thousands of protesters at state rallies this weekend demanded an immediate response from lawmakers in the wake of Wednesday’s attack that left 17 victims dead at a high school in Parkland, Florida on Wednesday. “Shame on you”, said one student, Emma Gonzalez. Trump, who the NRA spent spent more than $30m helping elect, has said little on gun control following the attack beyond a tweet late Saturday asking why Democrats didn’t pass legislation in the Obama administration, and has instead focussed on the mental health of the suspect, Nikolas Cruz. On Twitter, Trump referenced the FBI’s admission on Friday that it failed to investigate a specific report in January that Cruz could be plotting a school shooting.

John Kasich (R) warned on Sunday that the U.S. is walking away from international alliances and guidelines that were put in place after World War II as a means of preventing authoritarianism. "One of the things I am concerned about is the drift that we are in right now in terms of America and the world," Kasich told NBC's Chuck Todd on "Meet the Press." Because if we walk away, this thing collapses. And who wins? The Russians and the Chinese. Not good for our country, and not good for freedom," he said. "There is a battle now. The Russians and the Chinese want authoritarian-type government, okay? And we're walking away from our allies on trade agreements, this Iran thing, we'll see how that turns out," he continued. Kasich's comments come after Trump dealt a blow to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal on Friday, announcing the deal was not in U.S. national security interests.
