The battle between Ohio Gov. John Kasich and GOP front-runner Donald Trump is heating up.
A video released online Tuesday by the Kasich campaign attacks Trump for his rhetoric against various minority groups, invoking the theme of needing to stand up for people before it’s too late. The video features retired Col. Tom Moe, a U.S. Air Force veteran and Vietnam POW, paraphrasing the late German pastor Martin Niemoller:
“You might not care if Donald Trump says Muslims must register with their government because you’re not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump says he’s going to round up all the Hispanic immigrants, because you’re not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump says it’s OK to rough up black protesters, because you’re not one. And you might not care if Donald Trump wants to suppress journalists, because you’re not one.”

Throughout the video, footage of Trump plays over Moe’s voice, with headlines explaining Trump’s statements on these issues.
“You might not care about what Donald Trump says about,” Moe continues. “But think about this: if he keeps going and he actually becomes president, he might just get around to you. And you better hope there’s someone left to help you.”
