Was the Charleston shooting racially motivated?

Kasich: "You read what they said about the guy. It sure appears that way."

Authorities on Thursday arrested 21-year-old Dylann Roof, the suspect in the Wednesday shooting at a historic black church that left nine dead.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) seemed less sure on Friday when asked if the suspect was racially motivated to carry out the attack.

Appear that way.

2. If you look at it from just the right angle, there are clues only the most subtle minds could see.

Kasich gets the "No Shit Sherlock" award for milquetoast spin.
