John Kasich goes full Democrat, tells Christians to ‘get over it’ on religious liberty

comicallyincorrect.com
Joe Newby   "For the second time, the George Soros*-funded John Kasich told Christians to “get over it” on religious liberty laws and laws that require people to use the bathroom designated for the gender with which they were born.
“What I’d like to say is, just relax,” he said during an appearance at CNN. “If you don’t like what somebody’s doing, pray for them, and if you feel as though somebody is doing something wrong against you, can you just for a second get over it? You know?”
“ 'You know?”  Is that how our potential presidents respond to issues now?  . . . 
"It’s not the first time he’s told Christians concerned about religious freedom to take a hike.  And chances are it’s not going to be the last."

Riding the rails

This report on Breitbart also claims Kasich has Soros help. I can visualize Soros wanting to keep Kasich in the race if he sees Trump being the weakest candidate against Hillary.
" . . .In addition, Soros has been financially linked to the National Immigration Forum—the group behind the “Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT). As Breitbart reported in 2013, the Evangelical Immigration Table “is actually a front group for players on the institutional left including billionaire George Soros… EIT is running a $250,000 advertising campaign in favor of the Senate’s “Gang of Eight” immigration bill.' ” . . .
*Politifact claims, No, George Soros is not bankrolling John Kasich's campaign Contrary to what the above article states, Politifact says Kasich is not funded by George Soros.
Perhaps the rumor started from the following:
This quote is from FactCheck.org: Stanley Druckenmiller, a former hedge fund manager who was the chief strategist of Soros Fund Management from 1988 until 2000, has given $450,000 to the super PAC, including two $150,000 donations in February. The PAC has also received $200,000 from Scott Bessent, who was the chief investment officer of the same Soros company from 2011 until 2015, when he left to start his own hedge fund firm, in part, with a $2 billion investment from Soros. Combined, the two men account for 6.5 percent of the PAC’s funding.
Druckenmiller has long funded Republican candidates and committees while occasionally donating to Democrats, according to his contribution records. In 2015, he contributed to super PACs supporting New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, both of whom dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination. In February, Bloomberg reported that Druckenmiller confirmed that he would support Kasich, who he said “has been my favorite all along.”
Bessent, on the other hand, has more evenly divided his contributions between Republicans and Democrats, according to federal records. 

What has Soros funded? Here is one thing:
According to OpenSecrets.org, which tracks campaign contributions, Soros has given $7 million this cycle to Priorities USA Action, a super PAC that supports Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. He also gave $25,000 to the pro-ClintonReady PAC, and $1 million to American Bridge 21st Century, which funds opposition research against Republican candidates and causes.
