Kaine shrugs off targeted WikiLeaks threat

Tim Kaine, the Democratic party’s vice presidential nominee, isn’t letting a targeted threat by WikiLeaks bother him, even as the document-hosting website has ominously promised a forthcoming leak that would hurt the Virginia senator.

WikiLeaks tweeted Thursday that the group has a “suprise [sic] in store” for Kaine and the Democratic National Committee interim chair Donna Brazile.

Kaine, for his part, has shrugged off the threat, telling the Associated Press in an interview Saturday that he had nothing to be “overly embarrassed about” and that he was just a “regular human being.”

Publishers Notes: I love how he can say, “he has nothing to be embarrassed about, because he’s just a regular human being”! That would never fly with Donald Trump!
