Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s past scrapes with pop culture are starting to resurface now that he’s announced for president.

Among his targets: The 1996 Coen brothers movie “Fargo,” and hip-hop band “The Roots.” In both cases, the stories were told by Kasich himself in a 2006 book, ‘Stand for something.’

Kasich vs. Fargo

Kasich rented the movie and was so horrified by the wood-chipper scene at the end – in which Steve Buscemi’s character is, yes, fed into a wood-chipper. At first he was so appalled he demanded Blockbuster remove the movie from its shelf; later he asked for it to be labeled but it sounds like no one listened to him.
