On Monday's edition of CNN's "The Situation Room," former Gov. John Kasich, R-Ohio, broke down the racist rant by Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., at former President Donald Trump's Nevada rally this weekend, during which he appeared to equate criminal justice reform with slavery reparations and said Democrats are "pro-crime" because "they think the people who do the crime are owed that."
Kasich, who bucked his party to support President Joe Biden in 2020, connected Tuberville's remarks to the behavior of evangelical voters in the modern GOP — and how they are fracturing American Christianity for the sake of political power.
