On a live taping of Real Time last night, Bill Maher announced Rep. John Kline (R-MN) as the “winner” of “Flip a District” – a mid-term election themed campaign segment that will see Maher personally target Kline for defeat this November.
As reasoning behind Kline's pick, Maher noted Kline's votes to repeal Obamacare fifty-four times, against raising the minimum wage, for shutting down he government, against stem cell research, against gay marriage, against funding climate change studies, and his role as the Chairman of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce in perpetuating student debt (a subject that fellow HBO host John Oliver has also tackled in the past)
Watch the announcement, AFTER THE JUMP…
Kline, who has served as Representative for the southern suburbs of the Twin Cities since 2003, has received a 0% on every Human Rights Campaign Congressional Scorecard since coming into office.
