GOP turncoat Don Bacon (R-Nebraska) made waves last week by not only going against his party’s consensus but also labeling fellow Republican Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) a “loser” after Republicans voted against him in a secret ballot away from their voting base.
Jordan, the most popular Republican lawmaker in Congress, was taken out by the RINO lawmakers who make up the majority of the GOP Caucus.
Last Monday, a lobbying firm known to have ties with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell organized a phone call with Don Bacon. An email sent out before the call clarified the agenda by stating, “Tonight at 8:00 PM EST, we will have a call with Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), a Republican member who is leading the fight against Jordan. Donald Trump is threatening any member who plans to vote against Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) for Speaker of the House.”
The phone call, cloaked in secrecy, appeared to be part of a broader campaign to ensure that Jim Jordan didn’t clinch the Speaker of the House position—a role for which he has significant grassroots support. Don Bacon, it seems, is leading this anti-Jordan front.
Even the head of the Nebraska Democrat party welcomes Bacon to their party.
“Maybe time for Bacon to leave the party that’s so extreme and hateful?” said Jane Kleeb in response to the alleged threat Bacon’s wife received.
This weekend Don Bacon compared the America First movement, his voting base, to 1930’s Nazi Party.

Sounds like a democrat. They like throwing that Nazi label at Republicans.
How does a person this stupid rise to a significant position of authority in the Air Force???
Looks like he did not understand his oath of office.
...Last time I saw a mouth that big it had a hook in it!.............Rodney Dangerfield...............
Just FYI Bacon was born in Illinois so this makes him a carpetbagger, just like Liz Cheney and Mitt Romney who came from other states and found legislative seats in Congress to do their bidding.
Damn, I thought Nebraska was cool!
Kick his EVIL ASS OUT! NOW!
Have you SEEN OUR MILITARY BRASS? TOTAL DUMBASSES!
Don and his friend Ken are trying to get a show on CNN, Bacon & Buck.
He needs that SMIRK WILED OFF HUS FACE!
Yes, he does looks oily and slimy.
Good example (if we needed one) of why RINOS have got to go.
Selling you a used car that has additives to mask the engine and transmission problems for a few hours. Making tv viewers feel guilty who don’t sign up to donate money once a month for his non-sectarian ministry. Promising a lonely woman he will marry her if she can just get him past some debts by signing over her life savings to a short term loan.
Or telling voters he will support conservative principles in office.
“On day one when we start our term in Washington we will start the process of immediately ending Obamacare and replacing it.”
This is the GOP, trash your voters then expect a vote! If Nebraska reelects this bastard they deserve every negative comment he’s made and done to and about them!!!!
Reductio ad Hitlerum.
TNA lifetime score of supporting the Constitution 52% of the time.

That is the rule, not the exception. The Air Force is among the most woke and for the last few decades has churned out neocon officers that posture as “conservative”, but they are petty rule followers and want the childlike life of a military base for all of America.
Nowadays being woke will get you promoted to the top faster than being a great air warrior.
That’s not exactly true. He was a Brigadier General in the Air Force, was stationed at Offutt Air Force base in Nebraska, decided to stay here when he retired from the AF.
