WASHINGTON — 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.” The Department of Homeland Security has called the activities of Antifa “domestic terrorist violence,” according to Politico. Kaine’s son, Linwood, was...

Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said this afternoon that he now sees Robert Mueller's Russia investigation as a probe into possible "treason." Kaine and others on Capitol Hill reacted this afternoon to the latest revelations about a meeting last June between Donald Trump Jr. and a Russian lawyer. Earlier today, Trump Jr. released what he said was the “entire email chain” of conversations setting up the meeting with attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya. In the email chain, Trump Jr. expresses interest in obtaining damaging information on Hillary Clinton. Kaine, who was Clinton's running mate last year, said the new reports take the probe...

Sen. Tim Kaine (D., Va.) told reporters on Tuesday that the Russia investigation is potentially moving into a "treason" investigation after reports surfaced of Donald Trump Jr.'s meeting with a Russian lawyer last summer. In the wake of New York Times reports on Trump Jr. and other Trump campaign officials meeting with a Russian attorney who they believed had damaging information about Hillary Clinton, Kaine said the probe into obstruction of justice could evolve into something more serious. "Nothing is proven yet, but we're now beyond obstruction of justice in terms of what's being investigated," Kaine said. "This is moving...

Shortened title. Full title: Uh, What: Liberal Says Ohio State University Cop Rushed To Judgment When He Killed Suspected Terrorist On November 28, 18-year-old Ohio State University student Abdul Razak Ali Artan, a Somali refugee, used his car and a butcher’s knife to injure eight people. The terrorist group ISIS took responsibility for the attack. Artan’s brief reign of terror ended when OSU Officer Alan Horujko shot and killed him. Officer Horujko saved lives that day. He’s a hero, but some of the Left ran with the initial reported that Artan was armed with a firearm. It prompted former Clinton...

Tim Kaine, D-Va., was charged in St. Paul, Minn., Friday for crimes police say he committed two and a half months ago at a Trump rally.The 24-year-old man was charged with concealing identity in a public space, fleeing on foot and obstructing the legal process by interfering with a peace officer.

Sen. Tim Kaine said Friday that FBI Director James B. Comey’s decision to inform Congress of the reopening into the Hillary Clinton email case will go down as “the lowest moment” for the organization. “I think it will go own as probably the lowest moment in the history of the FBI, probably next to the decision of J. Edgar Hoover to wiretap Martin Luther King,” Mr. Kaine, Virginia Democrat, said on CNN.

The one sure thing about politics that this Insurrectionist has learned can be summed up in two words: “things change.” So just like James Carville, who was wrong when in 2009 he wrote a book predicting that Dems would rule for 40 more years, it would be a bad mistake for Republicans to gloat, rest on their laurels, or assume they’ll control both houses of congress for the foreseeable future. That said, the current sorry state of the Democrat party was put into sharp focus by Elijah Cummings on today’s Morning Joe. Asked by Donny Deutsch to mention three “up-and-coming...

Wow, for once IMHO CNN did a decent job. Kaine kept trying to say Trump failed to work with congress to declare War. The CNN guy (I do not know him) kept saying congress has failed for years to declare war. To the best of my knowledge the last time congress actually declared war was WWII.

"He should not have done this without coming to Congress," Kaine said. The strikes took place around 8:40 p.m. Eastern time Thursday night and were only confirmed following the attack. While some members of Congress were notified of the strikes, the majority found out through press reports, Kaine said. That's unacceptable under the Constitution, the Virginia Democrat said.

Senator Tim Kaine met with Pope Francis after attending a general audience with him on Wednesday. Kaine and the Pope discussed the Holy See’s work to address the global refugee and migrant crisis, according to the senator’s office. “As the Pope stated so clearly yesterday, it is a ‘moral imperative’ to protect and defend the ‘inalienable rights’ of refugees and respect their dignity, especially by adopting just laws that protect those fleeing dangerous or inhumane situations,” said Kaine in a statement. Kaine also participated in a discussion focused on Latin American issues with Vatican officials and members of other religious...
