Linwood’s dad is one of only 30 people in history to have served as a mayor, governor, and a U.S. Senator.

The young Kaine has made it all the way to the tabloids all by himself, however not for the best of reasons. According to reports, the 24-year-old is behind bars for second-degree riot. Woody allegedly got in trouble after the melee that took place in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Saturday during a rally in support of President Trump.
