John Kasich apparently doesn’t like being asked why he’s only won a single state in the Republican presidential primary.

On Saturday, the Ohio governor — whose lone victory was in his home state — was talking up his chances when Demetri Sevastopulo, a reporter for the Financial Times, interrupted him.

"Listen, at the end of the day I think the Republican Party wants to pick somebody who actually can win in the fall..." Kasich began.

“If you’ve only won Ohio…” Sevastopulo butted in.

“Can I finish?” Kasich said testily.

“If you answer the question,” Sevastopulo responded.

“I’m answering the question the way I want to answer it,” Kasich said. “You want to answer it?”

Kasich then snatched Sevastopulo’s voice recorder out of his hand and turned it toward him: “What do you think?”

"I think you should answer the question," Sevastopulo said.

The exchange was captured by Ben Marino, a video journalist for the FT:
