John Kasich Thinks Kim Davis Should Do Her Job, Rick Santorum Says She\u2019s a Hero: VIDEOS<\/b><\/p>\n

John Kasich and Rick Santorum have both weighed in on the Kim Davis drama and their responses offer a revealing look at the GOP’s differing approaches to LGBT issues this election season.<\/p>\n

Speaking to George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week, <\/em>Kasich said Davis should follow the law and do her job:<\/p>\n

“The court has spoken, the court has ruled as everyone knows. I believe in traditional marriage but the court has ruled…When we see these kind of battles going on I get a little bit afraid that it turns people off to the idea of faith in God, what it means to be a Christian. For me, it’s given me a solid foundation to deal with the strong winds in life, to be a better person, a better guy<\/a>. Now I respect the fact that the lady<\/a> doesn’t agree, but she’s also a government employee. She’s not running a church. I wouldn’t force this on a church but in terms of her responsibility I think she has to comply. I don’t like the fact that she’s sitting in a jail—that’s absurd as well—but I think she should follow the law.”<\/p>\n

Rick Santorum, meanwhile, had a very different perspective on Davis, telling CNN he believes the Kentucky clerk is a hero:<\/p>\n

\"sa\"I would agree that what Kim Davis did in my opinion was heroic and she suffered the consequences for it. I think putting her in jail was rediculous and an extreme position. But you know what? That’s sometimes what it takes – for people to stand up and conduct civil disobedience because the law is unjust and suffer the consequences of that. So I commend her for actually standing up for her principles.<\/p>\n

A recent Monmouth poll put <\/a>Kasich at 2% and Santorum at 0%.<\/p>\n
