Ben Cline a hypocrite when he says he supports law enforcement

In his recent Sixth District Perspectives, Representative Ben Cline touted his support for National Police Week and stated that he wants “ to improve officer safety and help those who protect our communities.” Hum… what a crock of bullshit!  He saw nothing wrong with the January 6 insurrection when Donald Trump’s treasonous thugs stormed the United States Capitol, violently attacked police officers, and chanted hang Mike Pence. Wonder where Ben was hiding that day… probably shaking in fear behind a scummy mop in a janitor’s closet. He continues to support Trump’s “Unified Reich” where red ties have replaced the brownshirts of Adolph Hitler but the violent authoritarian filth remains. Yes, it is abundantly clear Bobblehead Ben supports the MAGA jackboots who care little for legitimate law enforcement officers who protect our communities and the rule of law.

The Sixth District of Virginia deserves so much better than the not-so-smart loser Ben Cline. Check out Ken Mitchell. He served over two decades in the military and in the White House under both parties. Ken will get things done in a bipartisan spirit, unlike the hyper-partisan and unimaginative Bobblehead Ben Cline.

Lowlife Supremes

QUESTION: How did the highest court in the land become infested with biased and unethical lowlifes like Sam and Clarence?

ANSWER: Republicans.

Cline the Appeaser

Bobblehead Ben Cline, again mis-representing the best interests of the 6th District of Virginia and the United States, joined the pro-Putin appeasers in the House of Representatives by voting against aid for Ukraine. If you can judge a man by the company he keeps, then Ben is wallowing the crazed right wing ignorance along with Bob Good, MTG, Chip Roy, and others of the so called “Freedom Caucus.” Most members of that “esteemed” cabal failed freedom by siding with the Russian dictator’s aggression. 

Fortunately there is an alternative this November… Ken Mitchell of Rockinghsm County is running for Congress. Mitchell has 24 years of military service and has worked in both Republican and Democratic administrations. He understands the threat that Putin and other authoritarian thugs present to democratic nations and world peace… something Bobblehead Ben repeatedly fails to comprehend as he is lead by the isolationist wing of the GOP. Check out Ken at his website and at this article in The Winchester Star.

Bobblehead Ben votes to shut down the government

On the evening of January 18 the House passed a continuing resolution to keep the government running through early March. It required a 2/3s vote since the speaker suspended House rules in order to fast track it. 107 Republicans joined with 207 Democrats to avoid the shutdown. Bobblehead Ben preferred to follow the lead of such “stellar statesmen” as Lauren Boebert and Bob Good in support of tossing federal employees out of their jobs and denying important services to citizens. He’ll play it up in his next Perspectives newsletter bashing Democrats while conveniently forgetting the growing deficit under tRump. Up next for the Bobblehead… opposing any compromise on the border reached in the Senate. He’d rather have a red meat issue than a solution.

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 Votes for Impeachment Inquiry

No surprise that Bobblehead Ben Cline joined all the other Republicans in voting to open an impeachment inquiry into President Biden. From all the credible sources in the media there is absolutely no evidence that the president violated his oath of office or committed any impeachable offense. It would be like a prosecutor bringing Belle Rose before a grand jury based on social media rumors when absolutely no crime has been committed.

This is a purely political move designed to (1) rile up the wingnut base of the Repugnant Party; (2) attempt to embarrass the Biden family; (3) sow chaos; and (4) exact the retribution that Dear Leader so desires.

The dumb clucks are digging themselves a hole they may not be able to climb out of. Predictions… 

  • Some Republicans in swing House districts will be defeated and the party will lose their slim majority,
  • The 6-8% of independent voters who will likely decide the 2024 presidential election are smart and will understand this was crass politics at its worst and punish the Republican nominee. 
  • President Biden will be strengthened politically and as commander-in-chief.
Unfortunately Bobblehead Ben is protected by the deep red 6th District and will easily be re-elected. On a brighter note, he’ll probably be a 🐔 roosting as a back bencher in the minority party. 😂

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.

Belle Rose is back and watching Bobblehead Ben.
