Hillary Clinton’s Former VP Pick Defends FBI Monitoring of Latin Mass Catholics

Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine, a self-professed Catholic, also ‘helped connect Bishops with the FBI’ to discuss the issue.

Virginia (LifeSiteNews) — Virginia Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton’s running mate in the 2016 presidential election, defended the FBI’s monitoring of Latin Mass Catholics, according to a Sunday report.

Former FBI special agent Kyle Seraphin released a bombshell memo in February from the agency’s Richmond, Virginia, office asserting that “violent extremists” were taking an interest in “Radical Traditionalist Catholic (RTC) Ideology” and that this presented “new opportunities for threat mitigation” via undercover sources.

Earlier this month, the FBI admitted to U.S. Congressman Jim Jordan, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, that it had already relied on at least one undercover employee to produce its analysis.

In a statement to WSET-TV, a Virginia-based television station, Kaine framed the FBI’s intent as preventing “violent extremists” from targeting “radical traditionalist Catholics” for recruitment.

“We’ve done the same thing for years working in tandem with mosques because there have been groups that have tried to target or radicalize, especially young people,” Kaine, a self-professed Catholic, said.

Kaine suggested that backlash to the report was due to a “big misunderstanding that resulted from vague wording,” according to WSET-TV, and said the “key” to avoiding this in the future is “communication.”

“If the FBI has a concern like that, then go to the church leaders and say ‘Hey look, we have a concern and we don’t want your members to get unwittingly caught up in something’,” he added.

The FBI wanted to find a conservative Catholic and try to convince him to shoot up an abortion clinic (after they give him some guns and explosives) as an excuse to attack Pro-Lifers.

Satanists comprise the vast majority of the Dem party and a not small portion of the GOP.

Among the two younger American generations, it’s a large majority.

How is it that there is no Dept. of Internal Affairs inside the FIB? Who watches the watchers? Nobody apparently!

The only reason Kaine would say this is that he, either one or all,

1) hates TLM;
2) hates traditional Catholics;
3) does not himself adhere to Catholic doctrine; and/or
4) was himself in on the FIB scheme

The subtext is about targeting prolife Catholics. Kaine is an abortionist. He doesn’t care about catholics or the RCC. He just wants to suppress any church-based prolife activities.

.

After every new revelation, the Republicans give them massive new Budget Increases.

It’s hard to differentiate the actions.

Their actions speak louder than words.

Tim Kaine is a window-licking retard. And no offense meant to the real challenged people out there.

Hire the the SPLC to infiltrate the Catholic’s. Same difference. Both of Virginia’s Senators are real pieces of work. I’m being extra nice.

Virginia has had a long line of inadaquate Senators on the Hill. Liz Taylor’s husband included (John Warner).
