On April 10, 2025, Congressman Ben Cline criticized the Department of Justice under the Biden administration, stating, "It’s outrageous the Biden DOJ weaponized the Justice Department to go after Dr. Haim for blowing the whistle on Texas hospitals that were violating Texas law by pushing chemical castration on kids."

Later the same day, Cline expressed discontent towards the Democratic stance on voting legislation. He noted, "A majority of House Democrats voted against the Laken Riley Act. Today, 208 Democrats voted against the SAVE Act — a bill to ensure only American citizens can vote in U.S. elections. Why does the Left continue to put illegal immigrants ahead of the American people?"
