Congressman Ben Cline, representing Virginia’s 6th district since 2019, has recently expressed his views on various national issues through social media. His remarks reflect his stance on economic security, border control, and government spending.
On June 2, 2025, Congressman Cline shared his concerns regarding U.S. reliance on China for critical supply chains. In a tweet, he supported Secretary Scott Bessent’s view that “China is not a reliable partner.” He emphasized the need to reduce dependence on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to safeguard the economy and national security. “If we’re serious about protecting our economy and national security, step one is cutting our dependence on the CCP.”
Later that day, Cline addressed border security in another tweet. He attributed the reduction in fentanyl seizures to an administration committed to maintaining law and order at the border. According to him, this approach ensures American safety by keeping drug cartels at bay. “When the border is secure, American lives are saved.”
In a subsequent post on June 2nd, Congressman Cline discussed a $9.4 billion rescissions package aimed at curbing wasteful government expenditure identified by @DOGE. He urged Congress to approve these cuts to control bureaucracy and provide savings for taxpayers.“Now is the time to codify these cuts… Let’s bring it to the floor.”
Born in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 1972 and currently residing in Fincastle, Ben Cline holds degrees from Bates College and the University of Richmond.
