Letter: Can we ever get Ben Cline to schedule an actual town hall for his constituents?

I was surprised to hear that our own Ben Cline would be holding a town hall, so I started to search the internet for info.

I have lived in Augusta County for 11 years now, arriving at the end of the term of Cline’s “mentor,” Bob Goodlatte. Goodlatte was notorious for not attending his own town halls, to the point where a cardboard effigy of Goodlatte appeared at his events.

Ben Cline is a coward in the same vein. He has the temerity to follow a right-wing movement built on lies, but unlike even Trump himself, lacks the chutzpah to bravely repeat his lies in front of his base!

Ben Cline continues to show himself as a sycophant and a spineless excuse for a public servant.

I’m sure this quote reported by Augusta Free Press could be verified. Anyone?

“And when the woman, Front Royal resident Jeanne Stapf, told the person in Cline’s office that “this should be a priority,” she got an interesting response back.

“His exact words were, “I don’t fucking care!” Stapf wrote on Facebook after the encounter, which was with a staffer she wrote is named ‘Drew.’” 

Great representative! And this, in a fairly red district!

Please, do your job Mr. Cline! If you don’t f@%&*$-ing care about your constituents, do us the favor of resigning.
