Kasich: Trump tweets ‘unacceptable’

Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) criticized President Trump’s use of Twitter on Saturday, saying his tweets are “unacceptable.”

“We’ve seen this for quite a while. You know, it’s unfortunate and people are now begging the president not to do this, and you know you got to stop doing it,” Kasich told ABC’s Martha Raddatz.

{mosads}The governor’s comments come as the president faces backlash over his recent Twitter attack on MSNBC host Mika Brzezinksi, whom he called “crazy” and “low I.Q.,” and said she was bleeding from a facelift during a New Year’s Eve visit at Mar-a-Lago.

I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don’t watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..

…to Mar-a-Lago 3 nights in a row around New Year’s Eve, and insisted on joining me. She was bleeding badly from a face-lift. I said no!

“We’ll have to see what happens. It’s one of the few things that I think has brought Republicans and Democrats together,” Kasich said, referencing the bipartisan group of lawmakers that have spoken out against tweets, including House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).

“We spend so much time fighting and then they’re all aghast, and so it’s just not the way we ought to be. The coarseness is not acceptable,” he continued.

Trump ripped the news media on Saturday, tweeting the media was trying to convince Republicans to get him to stop using social media.

The FAKE & FRAUDULENT NEWS MEDIA is working hard to convince Republicans and others I should not use social media – but remember, I won….

….the 2016 election with interviews, speeches and social media. I had to beat #FakeNews, and did. We will continue to WIN!

The president then tweeted his use of Twitter was “modern presidential.”

My use of social media is not Presidential – it’s MODERN DAY PRESIDENTIAL. Make America Great Again!
