Is Sen. Tim Kaine responsible for inciting the riots on the UC Berkeley campus on Wednesday night?
Kaine told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Tuesday that he thinks Democrats should “take advantage of the tremendous public outcry against this administration.”
“What we’ve got to do is fight in Congress, fight in the courts, fight in the streets, fight online, fight at the ballot box; and now there’s the momentum to be able to do this,” he said.
“And we’re not afraid of the popular outcry, we’re energized by it, and that’s going to help us do our job, and do it better.”
The next day, progressives lashed out at the campus appearance by Breitbart editor and Trump backer Milo Yiannopoulos.
Video shows attacks on Donald Trump supporters and fireworks being shot at the hall scheduled to hold Milo’s event.

Will Tim Kaine accept responsibility for his statements urging Trump opponents to “fight in the streets”?
