Ben Cline - Seditionist
In light of the events on January 6th, 2021, it's urgent that we shift our focus to the protection of Democracy. In the spirit of Think Global, Act Local; it is time to take action against those in Congress that attempted to steal the Presidential Election.
Our very own, Representative Ben Cline, was at the forefront of the seditious effort to undermine the fair election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. (source: Newsleader 1/7/21)

Here is his own deceitful statement:
Rep. Cline to Support Objections to Presidential Electors on January 6
He is knowingly propagating lies. Numerous State and Federal Courts have heard all the spurious allegations of voting irregularities, and uniformly they have been found to be without merit, and properly rejected.
There is only one reason continues this effort, he is a Trump sycophant. He would rather have us ruled by a fascist tyrant, with no limits of the injury to our county he has caused; than support the will of the people who elected Joe Biden. Let's be clear, this is an attempt to subvert Democracy.
He conspired to oppose the free and fair execution of election laws of the United States, through his opposition to counting the electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania and further incitement of insurrection, leading to the deadly attack on the US Capitol. His belated statements denouncing the violence are cowardly and hollow. He knew better, and he shares in the responsibility for the awful events of that day.
