Tim Kaine says it’s “unfair” to paint Antifa “with a broad brush.”
But during the ’16 campaign, it was ok that he connected Donald Trump’s values with those of the Ku Klux Klan?
Got it.
Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine says he does not know much about members of so-called “anti-fascist” groups but says it is unfair to paint them with a broad brush.
When asked by The Daily Caller Thursday if “antifa” should be considered a terrorist organization, Kaine replied: “I don’t like broad brushes and I don’t know enough about them to say that they’re terrorists but people who do violent things. The law should take care of them.”….
Kaine’s son, Linwood, was arrested back in March at a pro-Trump rally at Minnesota’s state capitol on misdemeanor charges in connection with lighting smoke bombs.
The younger Kaine was accused of taking part in antifa activities against Trump supporters.
When asked about his son’s arrest at the time of his son’s arrest the Senator said through a spokeswoman to CNN: “We love that our three children have their own views and concerns about current political issues. They fully understand the responsibility to express those concerns peacefully.”….
Sen. Kaine, along with Democratic Sen. Mark Warner and Republican Sens. Cory Gardner and Johnny Isakson, signed a bipartisan resolution Wednesday condemning “white nationalists, white supremacists, the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and other hate groups” for their role in the violence in Charlottesville, Va., last month, but does not mention so called anti-fascist groups.
When asked by The DC why Antifa were not specifically included, Kaine replied, “Because that wasn’t really the issue in Charlottesville at all.”….
Really? All he has to do is ask his son who was arrested and recently exposed as a member of that group while protesting in MN. Selectively blind.
Tim Kaine Is, in my opinion, part of Antifa.
His son is proof of that, Deaves.
Sorry that I voted for him to be governor. Sad that now he AND Warner are my Senators. Must work to repeal and replace them.
Aside from himself, does anyone really take this man seriously?
