Tim Kaine Once Said Cheating Politicians Should Resign—Including Bill Clinton

The Democratic vice presidential candidate is pretty much part of the Clinton family at this point. But in 2002, he said Bill Clinton should have stepped down in the wake of his affair with a White House intern.

Bill Clinton should have resigned over the Monica Lewinsky scandal—at least, that’s a view Tim Kaine once held.

Kaine’s remark—reported 14 years ago in the Richmond Times-Dispatch in the aftermath of a state-level sex scandal—hasn’t drawn any attention thus far in the 2016 presidential cycle. But it suggests Hillary Clinton’s running mate at one point harbored reservations about the integrity of the man poised to become the country’s first first gentleman.

When Kaine speaks of cheating politicians needing to resign he is also talking about Hillary Clinton.

Typical sleazy, chameleon-like, off-the-rack politician.

Everything Kaine says has an expiration date of about 5 minutes after he said it.
Like most all Democrat and many Republican politicians.

He figures Hillary Clinton would die in office and he becomes president.
