The Magnificent Seven
Gov. John Kasich is clarifing his recent comment about Latinos, saying they “occupy jobs from top to bottom,” Politico reports.
The GOP presidential hopeful’s clarification comes after he stirred controversy with a comment that critics said reduced Latino immigrants to a stereotype of hotel maids.
Said Kasich: “To be clear, I believe that, from top to bottom, Hispanics play a critical role in America, not only today, but going forward.”
