Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that his Republican colleagues refusing to support Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker of the House were like terrorists.
When anchor Jake Tapper asked about former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) saying ‘That he worked in counter-terrorism and you can’t negotiate with terrorists,’ Bacon “I feel that way.”
He continued, “We were talking about that today. Hostage takers at least have a goal, and they have demands. We met those demands, and still, they can’t get to yes. They refuse to get to yes. They’ve been offered everything but one demand that we’ve not gone to. So this is more like terrorism, and you’re right.”
He added, “Their constituents, at some point, are going to say this is baloney. We’ve had enough. You’re derailing the conservative agenda, and I think that’s hopefully going to have some impact over time.”
Bacon concluded, “We are already seeing the outcry of people say this is wrong what they are doing. I hear it in our district, I hear it on talk shows, I hear from conservative commentators. So I think over time, we can have some success here.”

Maybe it’s well past time to put a little TERROR into hearts and minds of these RINO turncoat traitors. Squirm you worm, squirm !!!!!
Funny how the Republicans don’t mind using Democrat tactics....when it’s against their own.
Keep it up, globalists. Call real Americans terrorists.
How would this dork feel if protestors showed up in front of his re-election campaign office with signs that read “Rep Bacon is a terrorist”?
“Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead”...”
Figures.
Republicans going on CNN to trash fellow Republicans is the equivalent of Lord Haw Haw and Axis Sally going on nazi germany radio to trash their countries.
It was Poland:
For four decades before the historic Round Table Agreement, Poland had three legal political parties: the ruling communist PZPR and its two subservient coalition partners, the United Peasant Party and the Democratic Party. The first communist regime to gain power had outlawed the major pre-World War II parties—National Democracy, the Labor Party, and the Polish Peasant Party. The PZPR was formed in 1948 with the merger of the Polish United Workers’ Party and the Polish Socialist Party. Realizing the lack of popular support for communism and public fears of Soviet domination, the Polish communists eschewed the term communist in their official name.
In return for acknowledging the leading role of the PZPR, the two major coalition partners and three smaller Catholic associations received a fixed number of seats in the Sejm. Although one of the latter category, Znak, was technically an independent party, its allotment of five seats gave it very limited influence. Typically, the United Peasant Party held 20 to 25 percent of the Sejm seats and the Democratic Party received about 10 percent. Despite the nominal diversity of the Sejm, the noncommunist parties had little impact, and the Sejm was essentially a rubber-stamp body that enacted legislation approved by the central decision-making organs of the PZPR. Following the Soviet model, political parties and religious associations, as well as all other mass organizations, labor unions, and the press only transmitted policy and programs from the central PZPR hierarchy to Polish society.
I agree.
It is good entertainment tho to watch and listen to these dipsticks point fingers at each other and stomp their little feet...:) Politics is messy and the public needs a reminder like this. They get to see the “best and brightest” at their best...:)
He looks exactly like I imagined he would. A living cartoon.
Agreed.
McCarthy is the terrorist. He needs to withdraw his name. He can’t win. He’s just delaying the inevitable.
The Squad - the gang of five = pulled democrats to the left. The difference between them and ‘the twenty’ is our guys are “a nice conservative balance” in the House.
I’m sorry McCarthy can’t see that...
The Terrible Twenty are heroes to America.
Agreed.

I’m going to start calling the 20
The Marbleheaders
Or
The Indispensables
( hat tip to Patrick K. McDonnell )

Imagine if any of these guys could muster the courage to attack old Cooter MiddleClass Joe Biden.
If they had any guts, the Scranton kid might not be running out spewing Fairy tales and fables in between Ice Cream cones.
My word as a Biden.
200 incumbent Rinos to dump in 2024, we have a lot of work to do.
Only a short, sharp and shocking recent shift in the Overton Window defining permissible accusations of political misbehavior has rendered this modern “take” colorable.
Before two or three years ago you’d have been laughed out of any county of the U.S. for giving voice to it.
TDS has turned millions of brains into pudding.
Before I made my post #38, I did a quick search for more info about the Peasant Party. But I couldn’t find anything. Yet I knew that I once read about it. Your post clears things up. Thanks.
If you are a GOPer running to CNN to complain about fellow conservatives you pretty much outed yourself as a DS globalist.
