Ohio Gov. John Kasich refused to say whether presidential nominee rival Donald Trump was fit to be president a day after criticizing the party's front-runner over recent violence at his rallies.
"You’re not going to get me to answer a yes-or-no question," Kasich said. "I hope he’s going to change his rhetoric and bring people together."
Kasich criticized Trump Saturday for creating a "toxic environment" that has led to violence at some of his rallies. He had previously pledged to support Trump if the New York real estate mogul were to win the nomination, but said Sunday that "nothing's 100 percent."
"Sometimes it’s really tough," Kasich added. "I hope to be able to support whoever the nominee is."
2. Clinton Questions Sanders' Health Care Work in '90s, Despite Video Showing Them Together

Hillary Clinton Saturday suggested that campaign rival Bernie Sanders was not involved with her fight for universal health care in the 1990s, despite video footage from the time that appears to show otherwise.
“I always get a little chuckle when I hear my opponent talking about doing it,” she said at a rally today in St. Louis, referring to universal health care. “Well, I don’t know where he was when I was trying to get health care in ’93 and ’94, standing up against the insurance companies, standing up against the drug companies.”
The remark raised eyebrows after a Sanders staffer immediately tweeted out video from 1993 of the Vermont senator standing directly behind the then-first lady during a news conference about health care. In the video, Clinton thanks Sanders for being there. “I’m grateful that congressman Sanders would join us today from Vermont,” she said.

A "once perfectly healthy and normal" 4-year-old girl "can no longer talk or walk or really see much" after suffering severe brain damage during a dentist visit gone "horribly wrong," according to her mother.
Navaeh Hall had gone to Dr. Bethaniel Jefferson's practice, "Diamond Dentistry," in Houston Jan. 7 to have a few decaying teeth treated, her mother Courissa Clark told ABC News.
But the "dental care resulted in serious harm" to Navaeh, who "suffered severe brain injury as a result," according to a temporary suspension order from the Texas Board of Dental Examiners obtained by ABC News.
Jefferson did not respond to ABC News' multiple requests for comment.

When a baby kangaroo was orphaned and taken to police officers in western Australia, one constable decided to adopt him.
The only problem Constable Mason of the Cue Police Station had was that his new family member needed a name. Western Australia Police announced its predicament last week, writing, "Orphaned joey handed to police today. Adopted by Pc Mason. We need a name."
A day later, Mason announced the joey's name in a video that has since gone viral. Young kangaroos are called joeys.

Donald Trump Ties Man Arrested at Rally to ISIS With Apparently Doctored Video

Donald Trump apparently used a doctored video to allege the suspect accused of rushing on the stage at his rally in Ohio had ties to ISIS.
Thomas Dimassimo was arrested and charged Saturday with disorderly conduct and inducing panic after the incident. He had hopped over a guardrail and was grabbed by Secret Service agents before he could reach the stage Trump was speaking from.
"Then one of my people said, wow. They found his name, and it was probably ISIS or ISIS-related. Do you believe it?" Trump told supporters at a later rally in Kansas City, Missouri.

Trump also tweeted a video appearing to show Dimassimo, 22, dragging an American flag across a sidewalk, saying he had "ties to ISIS."
The video Trump tweeted has since been removed from YouTube. It’s unclear who doctored or uploaded the video.
The footage in the video Trump tweeted appeared to be from a video Dimassimo had uploaded -- without the ISIS flag and playing different music -- to his YouTube page in April 2015. He wrote the video was taken from a protest at Wright State University supporting Eric Sheppard, a college student arrested last year for walking on the American flag.
“I thought it would ruffle some feathers, but I did not anticipate how tense the backlash would become,” Dimassimo told The Dayton Daily News last year. “If anything, all that has shown is that people in this area and people on the Internet care more about a symbolic piece of cloth, than they do a black person’s life … or, even beyond that, our Constitutional rights.”
When asked about the video Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Trump defended the posting, though he was unable to definitively say anything about Dimassimo's alleged ISIS ties.
"All I know is what's on the internet," said Trump.

Nada Bakos, a former CIA targeting officer and analyst, said the video is "clearly dubbed over."
"Overlaying Arabic music does not make a terrorist video," she said.
Bakos said she worries about Trump’s judgment, saying what’s posted on the internet isn’t always accurate.
"It's disturbing to me that Donald Trump will take things at face value," she said. "If he's [president and] reading intelligence that comes to his desk ... that's imperfect information. How is he going to discern what's true and what's not?"
Bakos said ISIS wants to make Muslims in America feel unwanted and "Trump is playing perfectly into that strategy."
"I think they [ISIS] would be the last people that want to hurt him at this point,” she added.
ABC News has found nothing tying Dimassimo to ISIS. Former White House counter-terrorism advisor Richard Clarke said it's unlikely Dimassimo would have been released from jail if he had ties to the terror group.
"If the federal government thought he was a supporter of ISIS, it is unlikely he would be allowed to walk," said Clarke, an ABC News consultant.
The Secret Service, FBI, and Department of Homeland Security have not yet responded to requests for comment on Trump's allegation.
Dimassimo was released on bail Saturday evening. It was not clear if he entered a plea or had an attorney.
ABC News was unable to find a phone number listed to Dimassimo. Calls to his parents weren't returned.
