Ohio Gov. John Kasich grew irritable at the end of a town hall in Michigan on Monday.
The governor began behaving oddly in response to a questioner.
“Give me that microphone,” Kasich said taking the microphone out of the man’s hand and strolling toward a random audience member.
“Thank you, congressman. Stand up,” Kasich demanded while grabbing a man’s hand.
When the man indicated he was not a congressman, Kasich began to raise his voice.
“Well where’s the congressman?” Kasich said. “Who are you?”
The man, Andrew C. Richner, identified himself to the governor as a member of the University of Michigan’s board of regents. Richner spoke onstage before Kasich’s appearance and was seated in the front row of the audience.
Kasich continued his search for a congressman, but was unable to find one. The governor then appeared to chastise a staffer from the stage before returning the microphone to the original questioner who appeared befuddled.
