THE son of former vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine was reportedly arrested during a clash between protesters at a Pro-Trump rally.

The New York Post reports that Linwood Michael Kaine, 24, was busted for second-degree riot after the melee that took place in Saint Paul, Minnesota on Saturday during a rally in support of President Donald Trump, according Minnesota’s Pioneer Press.

Kaine, who’s father was on the 2016 presidential ticket with Hillary Clinton, was released from the jail on Tuesday and the city lawyer is considering whether to file misdemeanour charges, the paper said.

The chaos unfolded when anti-Trump protesters descended on St. Paul’s capital rotunda on Saturday during a “March 4 Trump” rally.

The demonstrators blew whistles and airhorns while one allegedly threw a smoke bomb into the crowd — striking a 61-year-old woman in the head, the Pioneer Press reported.

A total of five people were arrested for rioting and another busted for disorderly conduct.

Senator Kaine, who is from Saint Paul, released a statement concerning his son’s arrest.

“We love that our three children have their own views and concerns about current political issues. They fully understand the responsibility to express those concerns peacefully,” he said.
