Congressman Cline took to Facebook on Thursday to chastise the hundreds of his constituents who turned out at a scheduled meeting with his staff Thursday in Waynesboro to express their frustration and dismay over the Musk-Trump administration’s destruction of large parts of the federal government, threats to vital programs that serve tens of millions of Americans, Cline’s lockstep approval of it all, and his refusal to meet face-to-face with the people he claims to represent.
Congressman: According to your website, these “mobile office hours” are for your staff to “meet with citizens to assist with problems they might have with a federal agency and hear their views on current issues before Congress.”
As it turned out, hundreds of your constituents wanted to express their views on these issues Thursday. But you weren’t there to hear them, and you have given no indication when– or if– you will face your constituents in a public meeting, in Waynesboro or anywhere else in the Sixth District.
After your staff insisted on meeting with constituents five at a time, your 2024 Democratic opponent Ken Mitchell spoke briefly to the waiting crowd and answered some questions. Your 2022 opponent Jennifer Lewis was at the meeting but– contrary to your Facebook post– she did not make a speech. Can’t you at least correct that?
As for your claim that “people support what President Trump is doing,” that’s not even true for all your and Trump’s voters, as one of the commenters to your Facebook post affirmed:
You’ve told us that you’re fed up with hearing from your constituents. How do you think your constituents feel?
