Congressman Ben Cline, who represents Virginia’s 6th district in the U.S. Congress, addressed several national issues in a series of posts on August 18, 2025.
In his first post, Cline commented on the impact of investigations into Russian interference in U.S. politics: “The Russia hoax ranks among the darkest chapters in our nation’s history, dividing Americans and undermining trust in our institutions. Clapper’s rush to politicize intelligence was an absolute disgrace. I applaud @DNIGabbard for bringing the truth to light.” (August 18, 2025).
Later that day, Cline turned his attention to Social Security policy: “Social Security must be safeguarded for seniors who worked and paid into it, not handed to those who broke the law to be here. Removing 275K illegal immigrants off the program is a step in the right direction to ensure this vital safety net can thrive.” (August 18, 2025).
In another post on August 18, Cline expressed support for efforts aimed at improving care for veterans: “I completely agree with Secretary Collins. Our Nation’s heroes shouldn’t face hurdles to get the care they earned through their service. Cutting red tape is how we achieve this, and I applaud the Secretary for his tireless efforts.”
Cline has served as a member of Congress since replacing Bob Goodlatte in 2019 and previously represented constituents as a member of the Virginia House of Delegates from 2002 to 2018. Born in Stillwater, Oklahoma in 1972 and currently residing in Fincastle, he holds degrees from Bates College and the University of Richmond.
