Tim Kaine Describes Being ‘Kidnapped’ by Hillary Clinton

Potential Vice President, Tim Kaine, stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and the Virginia Senator shared the very abrupt way he found out that he would be Hillary Clinton’s running mate. Senator Kaine said he received a phone call from Hillary, and the Democratic nominee told him, “You're about to get kidnapped and I’ve got a team about a mile away to get you.” Tim wanted to tell his wife in person, so he asked Hillary how long he had before the press knew about him becoming her running mate, and Hillary responded, “I think you got 15 minutes.” Since then, Tim Kaine has become known as “America’s stepdad” and Colbert was sure to remind him of that. The Late Show host shared some hilarious tweets like, “Tim kaine is that soccer dad who can sing along to any rap song, but hums the cuss words.” Senator Kaine said he was used to being the butt of jokes like that, because for the last 26 years his kids have been saying the same things.
