In an interview Sunday with ABC's Martha Faddatz, Ohio Governor John Kasich urged Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to step down after being accused of "actions [which] make him unfit for office."



"Everything in life can't be about who wins an election," Kasich said. "It just can't be that way."





RADDATZ: I want to start with -- with Roy Moore in Alabama. You have said the actions described make him unfit for office. So you believe those accusers?







GOV. JOHN KASICH (R), OHIO: It's just really a matter as to whether he ought to be -- he ought to be the candidate, the standard-bearer of the Republican Party. And I just think he shouldn't be. And I hope that the people of Alabama, the party officials, will look at it again and -- and -- but this is not about, you know, Obama or left-wing -- I just don't believe that it is. And I'm saddened by it.



I mean, I'm the father of two twin daughters. And I just think it's inappropriate. And I would just really would like it if he stepped aside...



RADDATZ: But you also tweeted that the GOP must not support him.



KASICH: Yes, I don't think they should. I think he should step aside on this. He can continue to defend himself, but in the end, the party ought not to be for this... Everything in life can't be about who wins an election. It just can't be that way.
