Hillary Clinton’s running mate is constantly accusing Donald Trump of being a bigot for his stance on illegal immigration but like many Democrats, Tim Kaine used to hold somewhat conservative views.

At least he pretended to… When he was running for office.

See the video below from 2012 when he was running for Senate.

Via Hot Air:

“What I would do on the immigration, you know, comprehensive reform is this,” Kaine says. He continues, “I would require those who are here illegally to sort of raise their hand and come forward and say ‘we broke the law.’ TRENDING: Unhinged Quebec Woman Pascale Ferrier Identified as Suspect in Case of Ricin Letter Sent to Trump White House “By admitting that you’re breaking the law you’re going to have that as a criminal violation, as a legal violation and you’re going to have to pay a penalty and it’s going to be a significant penalty that you will pay over a period of time, whether it’s a fine or whether it’s an escalated tax rate, you’re going to have to pay that. We would take that money that was being paid by those who have come here unlawfully and we would use it to increase border security.”

And here’s another gem from Kaine in 2005 where Kaine claims he believes in traditional marriage and the sanctity of life. “I’m conservative.” He says.

It reminds one of Obama claiming in 2008 that he believed in traditional marriage.

Democrats lie to get into office and then change their positions with the wind of public opinion.
