Linwood Kaine, the youngest son of Sen. 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. The obstruction charge alone is a gross misdemeanor and carries up to a year in prison and $3,000 fine.
Kaine and five others were originally arrested March 4 on suspicion of second-degree riot following a "March 4 Trump" rally at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul. At the time, the group was believed to have chanted and whistled during the pro-Trump event, setting off air horns and even a smoke bomb at one point.
Kaine, or "Woody" as he is known by his peers, was released from Ramsey County jail in the days following the incident, but it wasn't until now that Kaine, the son of Hillary Clinton's vice presidential running mate in last year's election, was charged.
Prosecutors now say Kaine was among 75 to 125 anti-Trump protesters who crashed the 400-person pro-Trump rally by running into the Capitol rotunda. Ten of those protesters launched smoke bombs, unleashed mace in people's faces and set off fireworks in the vicinity.
Police tried to apprehend the rowdy protesters and one ended up chasing Kaine and tackling him. Several officers were needed to hold Kaine down as he was detained.
A spokesperson for Kaine on Friday insisted to Twin Cities the son was not in legal trouble for his actions at the event.
"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," Miryam Lipper, Kaine's spokeswoman, said in a statement. "Tim and Anne support their son and hope the matter is resolved soon."
Yep, Linwood Holton is his grandfather.
The Democrat Thug Party.
He’s actually very good-looking. But in most of his photos, there’s more than a hint of crazy.
“Chip off the old block I see........”
Like father like son.
Also, don’t forget Adam Shiff (D), aka Sheriff Woody.
He’s named after his maternal grandfather. Former Liberal RINO Governor A(bner) Linwood Holden.
Just two generations from left-wing RINO/DIABLO jackass to outright Anti-America Communist terrorist.
Democrats are EVIL and span EVIL and spawn EVIL children!!
ALL those WOODYS are disgusting people.
Woody Harrelson’s dad was a paid murderer.
Tim Kaine has kids? I thought he played for the other team.
Though these days, I guess anything’s possible.
Failed vice presidential candidates. Feel good to say that, doesn't it?
Linwood...meet Elwood (A.K.A. "Johnny Friendly")
Elwood...Linwood...(go to jail, get a knuckle tattoo!)
Ron Wallace, a Chesapeake conservative, announced that he’s running for the U.S. Senate. He wants to help cut tax rates and spending. He’s pro-life and pro-gun rights. He agrees with President Trump about building the wall and deporting more illegal aliens.
Given that his daddy dances with Hamas, it’s no surprise.
