(And not for the first time.)
In an apparent effort to restrain demands from his constituents for in-person town hall meetings, Congressman Cline posted this on his Facebook page:
The Friends Committee on National Legislation is a Quaker organization. As you can see from their website, their views and priorities do not often align with those of Cline and his fellow Republicans.
So while some may give credit to Cline for meeting with a group of his political opponents, I think it’s safe to say that he will ignore everything they told him.
Shortly after his meeting with the Quakers, Cline spoke to a dinner meeting of the Shenandoah County Republican Committee, where he expressed his true feelings.
According to a source who attended the Republican meeting, Cline said he had been in his Harrisonburg office meeting with “agitated liberals” who want to give money to Palestine, and was glad to be back in Shenandoah County, where, he said, he is supported.
So not only was Cline insulting the Quakers, but he was also insulting the people of Harrisonburg.
Cline went on to say that under Donald Trump, the country is moving in the right direction; that Trump has assembled the best cabinet; that he thanked Trump for dismantling the Department of Education; that the judiciary needs to be “reined in”; and that the 2017 Republican tax cuts, which overwhelmingly benefited the ultra-wealthy and corporations, were “for the common family.”
And sorry, Congressman: Your constituents still demand in-person town hall meetings.

Just a couple of questions: Why is the Republican 6th District Chairman, John Massoud? He lives in the 8th district? Just curious how this works.
Also, there are like 10 meetings that Cline has scheduled to meet with the Republican Party all over the state from now until May. Is there a way to organize that interested individuals, just show up at these publicly located meeting to request in person meetings? 6th District Committee Members – Virginia’s 6th District GOP Committee
