John Kasich should be happy a subway interrupted his attempt to explain Passover to Jews

His attempt to show off his biblical knowledge didn’t go over so well.

…Kasich this week suggested to a group of Jewish voters in New York that the blood of Jesus Christ was somehow linked to the Old Testament Passover story.

After touring a matzo bakery and a Jewish bookstore in Brooklyn on Tuesday, Kasich delivered a speech on the sidewalk about the importance of Passover, in which Israelites put lambs blood on their door posts as a signal that the Angel of Death should pass over their homes…

“The great link between the blood that was put above the lamp posts,” he said, seemingly unaware that “lamp posts” were not in the Passover story. “The blood of the lamb, because Jesus Christ is known as the lamb of God. It’s his blood, we believe…”

At that point, his speech was interrupted by the subway passing overhead on elevated tracks.

“Somebody’s not allowing me to give a Bible lesson,” the candidate joked.

Uriel Heilman of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency recommended on Thursday that Kasich abstain from giving Christian Bible lessons to Jewish voters.

“Talking about Christ’s blood during a visit to Borough Park? Oy vey,” Heilman wrote.

    And if rump and cruz lose and kasich becomes the nominee, he will lose just as bad as the other two. It is an embarrassment of riches for the democrats.

    I guess Kasich believes that Jews should give thanks to Jesus Christ for the Hebrews’ ability to be liberated from Egypt.

      do any of us really know what Kasich thinks? It seems like he doesn’t even know.

    John Kasich needs to do the right thing….
    Go home and spend some quality time with his wife and children and get this crazy idea of ‘being elected President of the United States of America’ out of his mind…

    I did my DNA test and it came back and said I am Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jew……I have nearly zero knowledge of the Jewish faith and was just online to find out how I could learn Yiddish……..guess I won’t ask Kasich for nay advice.

    Lamp post or door post, one thing is clear. Kasich is as dumb as a post.
