John Kasich says women ‘left their kitchens’ to support him

WASHINGTON — Ohio Gov. John Kasich told a Virginia crowd Monday that women "left their kitchens" for him in an early statehouse race, quickly prompting a retort from one woman voter there.

"And how did I get elected? Nobody was, I didn't have anybody for me. We just got an army of people who, um, and many women, who left their kitchens to go out and go door-to-door and to put yard signs up for me," the Republican presidential candidate said Monday during a town hall in Fairfax, Virginia.

A woman voter later shot back.

"First off, I want to say -- your comment earlier about the women came out the kitchen to support you? I'll come to support you, but I won't be coming out of the kitchen," she said.
