Bobblehead Ben Endorses Twice-Impeached Criminal

It came as no surprise that Bobblehead Ben endorsed the twice-impeached, many times indicted Donald John Trump for president. The Bobblehead, who supported all attempts… legal court challenges and the violent and illegal insurrection… was delusional in citing tRump’s “global leadership” and great economy as reasons for the endorsement. Guess Bobblehead is okay with the Trump organization receiving at least $7.8 million from nearly two dozen foreign government with the biggest chunks coming from authoritarian China. Bobblehead Ben is apparently sipping Kool-Aid… or bleach!

This endorsement comes at the same time that the former president’s lawyers argued for complete immunity for anything he did during his miserable term of office. Reminds me of President Nixon’s famous statement that “when the president does it, that means it is not illegal, by definition.” Laughable then and highly unlikely the appellate court will uphold anything close to that absurd argument. But, I imagine Bobblehead Ben buys this hook, line, and sinker. Dumb cluck.

Bobblehead Ben

Representative Ben Cline, aka Bobblehead Ben, is the quintessential Republican lapdog.  Bobblehead Ben rarely consults a moral barometer, following instead the questionable lead of party leaders. Like a middle school kid, he just can’t break from peer pressure. This was true when he was in the Virginia House of Delegates so it is no surprise that Bobblehead Ben continues to represent his party peers more than he represents the people of the 6th District of Virginia. Consider a few examples:

Bobblehead Ben supported the attempts to overturn the 2020 election in court and has justified the actions of the insurrectionist mob or traitors. Most Virginia residents were shocked and angered viewing the horrific events on January 6. I can imagine Bobblehead Ben cowering in a basement safe room that day. Yet he never condemned the former president nor the violent traitors. I don’t believe he has ever forcefully acknowledged that President Biden was the rightful winner of the election.

Bobblehead Ben voted against expelling George Santos for multiple ethical, legal, and moral violations well-documented by the House Ethic Committee. When the Speaker and other party leaders made it clear they wanted to protect their slim majority rather than do the right and moral thing, of course Bobblehead Ben caved to peer pressure.

Now, Bobblehead Ben is standing with Republican leaders to block additional military aid to Ukraine. He could, on principle, stand up for democracy and speak up against dictators and aggressors. Instead, Bobblehead Ben joins with his peers trying to score political points by linking that aid to security on the U.S. southern border.

Come on Representative Cline. You were elected to represent your constituents and to exercise some degree of independent and moral judgment. You are failing the good people of the 6th District.
