On June 20, 2025, Congressman Cline criticized the Democratic Party’s approach to handling unrest in Los Angeles. He stated that “Democrats keep doubling down on their failed policies. The violent riots in Los Angeles show how radical the Left has become.” He further mentioned that while President Trump took action to protect the city, the state’s governor did not respond adequately.
Later that day, Cline expressed support for reforms related to Medicaid work requirements. He argued that “Requiring able-bodied adults on Medicaid to look for work or volunteer is a reasonable reform.” He suggested that such measures would ensure protection for children, elderly, and disabled Americans.
