The day after Tim Kaine was announced as Hillary’s vice-presidential pick, his parish St. Elizabeth’s in Virginia tweeted out a congratulatory tweet that CNN reporter Betsy Klein retweeted.

Needless to say, this did not go over well. It seems many weren’t crazy about the idea of a pro-abortion, Planned Parenthood supporting, gay marriage supporting Catholic was getting props from his Catholic parish.
@StElizabethCCVA You should not be proud to have anyone in your midst who has a 100% rating from NARAl.

@StElizabethCCVA did no one teach him that abortion is a sin?
