There's nothing wrong with John Kasich's advice on how to avoid sexual assault and here's PROOF

Liberals are abuzz right now over an alleged gaffe made by John Kasich while campaigning in New York today.

The Ohio governor — who is a father to twin 16-year-old daughters — was asked how he would combat sexual assault on campus as president and ended his answer with: “I’d also give you one bit of advice. Don’t go to parties where there’s a lot of alcohol.”

Here’s the video:

Cosmopolitan and the DNC called Kasich’s answer “victim blaming” . To Salon, it was “problematic.” Think Progress wrote that it “perpetuates the disproved myth that there is a direct link between alcohol consumption and rape.”

Claire McCaskill weighed in as well:

But here’s the thing … Kasich isn’t wrong:

From Northwestern’s guide to “Protect Yourself from Sexual Assault“:

  • Be careful about when and where you decide to drink.
  • It has been estimated that over 75% of acquaintance rapes involve alcohol and drugs. *
  • Use a buddy system for mutual support when you attend parties.
  • Watch your drinks at all times.

Hey, if it’s good enough advice at Northwestern, it’s good enough for us!

Kasich later took to Twitter to expand on his answer:

And thank you to the Washington Post’s Dave Weigel for pushing back against the narrative:
