ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine's youngest son was among eight people charged for allegedly disrupting a March rally in support of President Donald Trump.

Linwood "Woody" Kaine, of Minneapolis, was charged Friday with one gross misdemeanor count of obstructing the legal process and misdemeanor counts of fleeing on foot and concealing his identity in public.

Seven other people were also charged, including two with felonies.

A criminal complaint says Kaine and others changed into black clothing during the rally and entered the Capitol. One group member threw a smoke bomb inside. The complaint says the 24-year-old Kaine was among those who ran away, and he initially resisted arrest.

Kaine doesn't have a listed number and it's not immediately clear if he has an attorney.

Tim Kaine was Hillary Clinton's running mate.

Can Uncle George not bus around any more of his plants to cause trouble and blame it on Trump supporters?

It's okay, his mammy and daddy love that he expresses his own views.  

 

 

"Miryam Lipper, a spokeswoman for the senator, gave a statement to the Pioneer Press in St. Paul.

"Today's announcement of misdemeanor charges against Sen. Kaine's son contains no suggestion that he engaged in disruptive behavior while at the rally, but are instead focused on his actions as he was arrested after he left," Lipper said. "Tim and Anne support their son and hope the matter is resolved soon."

 

Asked to comment in March about his son's arrest, the senator and his wife would only say through a spokeswoman: "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."

What is there that you find unusual about his parents statement?

Well if one of my kids was arrested for resisting arrest I wouldn't be overly happy.

They didn't say they were happy he got arrested and they said their children fully understand the responsibility to express themselves peacefully.

Sounds like a cop out to me.

 

Were they not concerned that their son was dressed in black causing problems and was arrested while trying to evade the police?

I have no idea what they were concerned or not concerned about and neither does anyone else here. They made a statement. It's a personal family matter.

I'd wait to see what comes of this. People on the right will presume guilt here but like everyone else it's up to the accusers to prove. There's no video of this I assume?
